THE SCOT AND GOLF.

MORE SHOTS IN (115 BADE,
The Scottish golfing camps, both in the Southr and over the border, are up in aring against the contention held by well-known writers and players that the Englishuman is now a better golfer they the Scot, from whom, it is paid, the glory has at last departed. The "bang wont saxpence gibe is a mero nothing cem pared with the attempt to rob the Se of his pre-eminence at "gowf, and therefore feel it my sacred_duty (writ- Mr. C. B. Macfarlane, the Scottish inter nationalist, ju the Dady News ind Leader) to take up the cudgels on behalf and incidentally of my countrymon, myself. There still hangs on the walls of a famous Scottish clubhouse the following notice, which to my mind has a very con siderable bearing on the subject which is so seriously exercising the thoughts and! pons of so many golfers, good, bad, and indifferent: "Golfers do replace the turf: others must.

bear that in mind when considering the EDGINGS
-important subject of golf supremacy.
The whole structure of this most in- Perrating question In Scotland the definition of the words "best golfers." 让 'gaid gowfer" means a player who
14
has a great many shots in his bag, whereas in England the definition of the same two words is not applied in the same way, but is given to the man who wins; and the man who wins at golf is not always the best golfer. There are any number of English players who go on to the toe and have to shuffle about to find! their stance. They then try to find out if their grip is correct, and after many. anxious moments-to the spectator-hit the ball down the middle of the course. Coming to the approach, they play the some shot hole after hole, and while I admit that they get there, they som unable to vary the shot to suit the con ditions of wind and ground.
A CONTRAST,
The Scot, on the other hand, will, and does, play all his approach shots after considering how best to beat the condi- tions with the least possible risk. On the tee the Scot finds his position at one.j With few exceptions, there is no great delay before the ball is driven away, and though a fow may shuffle about, yet it is more a mannerism than an inability to Gad the correct stance. I well remember a well-known player of the old school being asked if So-and-so was a good golfor. His reply was: No: he gets there, but he is not a good golfer."
There is something in the golf of the Scot difficult to define which is entirely absent from the play of the Englishman, The Southerner has not the same wrist work-his swing is more of a stiff-arm movement. This may tend to accuracy, but it does not make for long driving. Take the simple running shot with the iron, once described in my hearing by an English golf writer as a “scuffle”—a most absurd word to apply to any goli shot-the English player cannot execute that shot with the same delicacy or cor- tainty on the Boot. When the Sassenach does play it he appears always to me to have foundered the ball, and if he does attempt a run-up then out comes the patter, whereas the Scot would invariably use the iron. Thus, from a Scottish point of view, the mere fact of a player using the iron in place of the putter stamps him as a better golfer, though he might not win that match; but in a series of games the Scot would win the greater proportion and-may be "twa three haut-ins."
THE HCOT'S DISADVANTAGE.
The Englishman also spends much more time over his golf than the Scot. He has one great advantage in having Sunday golf, and that usually means that he plays on Saturday and Sunday. Two consecu- tive days' golf in the week make tremendous difference to one's game, whereas the Sent at home can only play on Saturday.
The
Looking through the list of amateur champions one is forced to the conclusion that those players have had a tremendous England has amount of time for golf. more wins to her credit than Scotland, hut that is no argument in favour of the Englishman being a better golfer, English golfer has the leisure, and takes fall advantage of it to practice. Clubs, balls, travelling, and other expenses aro a secondary consideration with him. whereas the Scot at home is, generally speaking, greatly handicapped by want of leisure as well as funds."
If the English player goes off his game ho goes to his professional to put him right again, but the Scot cannot and does not do so; he goes out with the particular club and finds out for himself, where he has gone wrong, and is not satisfied until he has thoroughly cured the "disease."
Although England bas six more cham- pionships than Scotland to her credit,
