ing the winter there, 'makes me think 1t Is
much easier to play on this side, as the greens
are SO big ana run so Iast ana true tnat one cah
Undoubtediy this is true Of many green's in
Great britain. At Musselburg there are go
many chances to use the putter in approach
ing that at other links the wooden pulitzer is joe
ularly termed the 'Mussclburg iron" When
Whigham and Douglas use the wooden putter

st;ii acnI,ircd in scotland. This point is well
understood by our amateurs, who at first made
it almost a matter Of honor to pitch up the in

wooden putter will likely find Il place in nearly
every caddie bag.
