Don't Want Change In Golf Ball
EXPERT SPEAKS FOR
THE MASSES
95 Per Cent. Adverse
Because golf club secretaries are in
a unique position as regards the feel- ings and views of golfers generally on matters affecting the game, the opinion expressed by Mr. W. Grieve, the new captain of the Association of Golf Club Secretaries, on the corre inted subjects of the power of the ball, and the length of courses in not without value and interest.
A shrewd and hard-headed Scottish solicitor, Mr. Grieve in secretary of the Duddington Club, Edinburgh, which has a membership of about 700, Speaking In London at the annual dinner of the association, Mr. Grieve made it plain that he is the champion of the underdog the handicap golfer, who is the bulwark of the game, and the mainstay of every golf club throughout the world. It is the subscription, and bis expenditure both inside and outside the clubhouse, which keep the game alive, and the courses in existence.

Actually it does not hoots.
But, as Mr. Grieve truly says, only a very small percentage of the mein- bers of golf clubs are playing to the scratch score of their courses, a fact which strongly suggests that the ball does nut go too far.

In relation to the mass of golfers he is only one in a thousand, and what he expends on the game is, by com- parisan, negligible.

Mr. Grieve presents some rather startling Agures
to the relating Royal and Ancient's club competitions at St. Andrews. Some of the lending amateurs play in these events, and the average winning score over series of years for the Royal Medal is not 75, while that for the Gold Medal is 77% The average score for all-the-competitors-is-about-80, a figure that knocks the bottom out of the suggestion that the ball is ruin- ing the game,

Mr. Grieve puts in a plea for the business man playing golf for amune- ment and recreation. "On his be half," he says, "wo should make u bold stand against a restriction of the ball and the lengthening of courses."
