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, been stated that for every shot the pro makes on the course, proper, he has made several hundred in practice.

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

the best advice I have ever heard for this is that which demands certain sacrifice.

Break off the round wherever you are and go to the practice tee. In round of golf one makes, say, 90 shots in a couple of hours. From the practice tee there can go of in less than 15 minutes.
