GOLF STRATEGIES.

AIM FOR POSITION, NOT

DISTANCE.

It's the strategy you use when in trouble that counts most' In] golf.

When e player in distress learns that position, not distance must be his next objective he is on the highway to success.

Many an important battle of the links has boon won by moans of a dinky, ten or fifteen-yard shot, which had no thrills for the gallery, while, on the contrary, slashing, sensational plays hud. no bearing on the result..

Willis Ogg, the Worcester pro- fessional, who has held many championships in his day, and always, is a respected figure at the big tournaments, tells me of a remarkable strategy, ho once saw which called for a shot of only a few yards length, although it turned out that it was to settle the disposition of that greatest of all golf prizas—the British open championship.

In the same tournament an at-

tempted sensational play proved to be poor strategy, as it de- finitely eliminated its author from the tournament.

GREATEST GOLFERS FIGURED,

Two of the greatest golfers of all time figured in those plays,

The successful one was the celebrated Jantès Braid. loser was the equally celebrated J. H. Taylor.

Tho

Is all took place on the famous course at St. Andrew's, Scotland, during the British open of 1905. Both Taylor and Braid came down the home stretch very much in the running.

"It was on the seventeenth hole, which has been called the hardest in the world, that Taylor tried his unsuccessful strategy, said Ogg.
