Around The Courses

Medal Play Improves One's Game

Use Of Practice Ground Peculiar Conditions For Visitor's Cup At Fanling

(By "Birdie")

GOLF—the stuff the pros play-is not learned on the course, it's a product of the practice tee. It has, in fact, beon stated that for every shot the pro makes on the course proper, he has made several hundred in practice.

Such goes into the making of the top-notchers. But the average player cannot afford that time for it is almost daily routine, and the once-a-week player would rather go round in the 90's, extracting what fun and exercise he can get out of hia trip.

But there is another kind of average, golfer who seeks to im-

prove his game-even during Garcia "Robbed"

the short period of recreation at his disposnl.

He's not the bloke who makes allowance for a slice, but the one who endeavours to correct the faull; he isn't the one who is satisfied to win a hole in when he knows that he could have chopped o stroke off; he's the clup who realises that golf is a great game, but difficult to play, obstacles and ever seeks to hurdle obs rather than circumnavigate them.

The relative values of

of medal and match play have been dealt with fully by more competent judges than myself, but I find myself in agree- ment with the opinion that fur im provement the fist named beller system of play,

What does he worry then If he should slash out of bounds a few times and lose one hole? There are 17 moro.

pros when they are in The medal competition have reached the happy condition (most of them) of being able to disregard what has gone before or what to come and concentrate solely on the hole being played. In between slots, for instance, they can chak idly on any tople but golf.

The serious student cannot do this. A persistent slice or pull is a con- stant worry. He thinks of it with every shot he shapes to make. And the best advice I have ever heard for this is that which deinands a certain sacrifice,

Break of the round wherever you are and go to the practice tec. In a round of golf one makes, sup. 00 shots in a couple of hours. From the practice tee these can go off in less than 15 minutes. And One can see the effects of the at- tempted cure for bad shots for better in that short period than fram shots made every three or four minutes, as happens on the

course.

It means the sacrifice of part of the round, but against the loss of this and possibly one's temper (be sides giving one's opponent a bad game) there is the probablilty that the fault will be cured,

There are four prizes, viz., Champlonship, the Visitor's cup, the i best round on the New Course, ond the best round on the Old. No player can win more than one of these.

Of Decision In Non-Title Bout

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 11 (UP).— The State Boxing Commission sald on Tuesday it was powerless to protest referee Abe Roth's decision Monday night when Roth called a scheduled 12-round non-ittle elash between

middleweight champlon Billy Soose and Ceferino Garela a technical draw in the eighth round after Boose suffered a cut eye.

The decision met with protest from the crowd, and ringsiders were of almost unanimous opinion that 35- year-old Garcia should have been awarded a technical knockout.

The Filipino clouter opened up an old cut on Soose's right eye with one of his famous bolo punches.

Bolo Punches

COOSE easily won the first five rounds, but in the sixth he was almost floored when lie suffered two terrific bole blows.

These two punches slowed him ́up considerably and by the eighth Nevere le was staggering under punishment, bleeding from numer-
