The fact that 1. H. Taylor. the great English veteran, and not Hagen, would have won the British championship if the scores in the two qualifying rounds had heen added to the four in the champion- ship proper. has led to endless discussion in golf clubs throughout the British Isles. Taylor's aggregate for the six rounds was 44, eight strokes better than Hagen, and yet the placings in the cham- pionship found the Englishman fourth and the American first. Surely," said the championship reformers, there must be something radically wrong to permit of such a glaring injustice." It would certainly appear to be so. The case regra to gather strength when, after further examination, it is discovered that E. Ball. E. R. Whitcombe, and C, Gadd also fuish in front of Hagen, if the six, rounds be- come effective. When wo take a peep below the surface, however, the case for revision does not appear quite so sound, (nor su irgent.

It is a fundamental condition of the championship. which attracts players from all parts of the world, thas it should be played on the same links, and, as far as is possible, under, the same conditions. Sudden changes of weather, süch a rain and wind, being beyond human control. A certain amount of luck must of neers- sity enter into the destiny of the Cham- piqnship. For instance, one player may conclu his round in ideal conditions, while another may be caught in a sudden storm, such as was experienced at 'Hoy-Br Make. In one of his rounds Macdonald Mr & Mrs J. Gould Smith not only played through a deluger William Hall

of rain. which lasted an hour, but the wind changed direction'on four occasions In consequence, Smith found: the golf terribly puzzling.

At St. Andrews it is by no means an infrequent occurrenct to find yourself battling against the wind on the outward journey, and when reaching the turn ex- pecting that with the wind at your back you will be blown pleasantly home, to dicover that quite suddenly, the wind, bas veered completely round, and con tinues to whistle in your teeth until the Inet putt on the last green has been hol- ed. No provision can be made against such pranks of nature. So rapid has been the growth of, the game, bring ing with an array of new professionals, that the present system of finding the champion is not, it is urged, at all satis factory. It may not be ideal, but who would dare to say that, notwithstanding the imperfections of the method, the champions of recent years, day of any period, have been unworthy of the title

Just take a glance at the list since the war: 1920, Duncan; 1921, Jock Hutchi- son; 1992, Hagen; 1990. Hovers; 1994, Hagen. Is it not correct to say that these men were the best golfers in their respec- tive years? As no links will accommo date comfortably more than eighty play. ers playing two rounds per day, it is imperative that with 250 men aspiring to championship honours an intermediator A. E. J. Knight stage in the shape of qualifying rounds Mr & Mrs Laineland be held. Out go what are known, rather vulgarly as the rabbits." In addition, all the taster shots, the miraculous shots, and the "criminal shots of the men who survive are" wiped off the sinte..

This is where the reformers who regard the system as unfair and unsound join issue with the Government. Why not, it is urged, carry all the good and all the final balance If the qualifying stage is an integrad part of the whole, then there is no reason why the scores should not be carried forward. I am inclined to the view, however, that the qualifying business is in the nature of a separate trial, in which the mental attitude of the players is entirely different from that encountered in the four rounds of the championship test.

Once again the ball question," so far as championship golf is concerned, is brought into review. Owing to the weight and the flying, qualities of the modern bill, wind, it' is declared; no louger presents any serious problem. "This in circumstance," says Mr. Tolley (in "The Modern Colter ").

This is how the player views the matter when he goes out to qualify: "There is no need to extent myself; I have only. to do a couple of 78's and I am-com- fortably in His anxiety is not pro- nounced and he proceeda (that is how he starts) quietly to tap the ball round the course. Nothing spectacular is attempt ed; no dangerous carries, in order to make the abarquent shot easier, are essayed. And how simple is the putting compared with what he will be faced with on the morrow! Two putts per green will suffice; there is no earthly use trying to hole out" from anywhere and everywhere. That fiendish yard putt helds no terrors; you can almost im sure ef knocking it in with the back of the putter. This idyllic arrenity is not likely to be disturbed, seriously so long as no unior disaster is met with on the journey. We all know, of course, that horrible Then we have Duncan, saying: "Go}! crashes do owcur, and with them comes
