Lost Ball in Penalty Ditch

(By "Birdie")

BLAST, BLAST, BLAST, in bunkers and out of them, and if nothing can assuage the pent up foolings of the golfer who has left his footprint, if not in the sands of time, then in most of the sand hazards of his course, let the words of Gene Sarazon and Paul Runyan soothe.

Runyan would remove them entirely, while Sarazen, not so drastic in mind, favours moving them to catch the poor shots for the better players rather than leave them to add to the mental distractions of the duffer.

"Traps," says Runyan, "when they are raked smooth aren't huzards to the professionals. Any pro in a trap beside a reasonably flat green ex- pects to get down in two, at the most three,

strokes. The

high-scoring player may take that number to get out and

probably as many more to go down."

Sarazen says that a flock of traps 150 yards from the tee will cause untold suffering among the average players, whereas the pros and top-notchers will probably not see them at all.

"Why" he argues, "not put the traps down the fairway where the better players wild tee shots are Hikely to lond, but where they will not bother the beginner who cannot drive that for?"

Though Wo may hold divided opinions about bunkering the greens, there is much to be said for the placing of the traps on the fairways. Cases in point, perhaps, are bunkers
