Cotton complained bitterly that the holes had been,, cut on small, almost imperceptible knobs, with the result that the ball always turned aside just as it reached its objective.

The state of the greens, however, did not account for some pushed drives that finished on adjoining fairways, and in one cASE in a bunker guarding an aline green in the direction of cover point. Three consecutive drives each with a touch of slice, were caught by the wind, and blown off the course.
