of stroke. The resourcefu and finished golfer
will no doubt often succeed IN the long run but
he is in Jeopardy in every round of competition
like the amateur championship. In fact, the con-
tinued supremacy of any one acknowledged master
is quite impossible under present conditions.
BY simply lengthening holes we will not give
back their positions 10 the first rank golfer. for
others drive and always have driven, far.
What greens committees might do to advantage is
TO reward the accuracy as well length of the
really good driver opposed to the 'swiper and
by placing tho holes in difficult positions make II
irnnossible for the inaccurate player even to at
tempt to get within holing distance. Then the
really fine player would take all the risks OF the
long game and ali the risks of the short game and
leave behind him the mediocre man. who would
ba hopelessy attempting coups outside his ca
nacitv The adoption of a policy like this would
make the game a gamer In the end. for those dis
covered in their weakness would begin to mould
their game higher ideals.

At present green's committees throughout the

CHAPTER VII.

The controversy as TO what constitutes the ideal

easily outweighs in Importance all other features.

greens good. and they require accurate ap-
preaching. especially most of them well
guarded
One of the best holes is the third, which may be
played IN two ways First, q dangerous stroke
over branch OF the shore of the lake, which, II
successfully accomplished leaves short approach
TO the green; and second, a drive the right, IN
which a longer approach will be needed. The
hole is difficult because a sliced drive reaches the
burn. while a pulled shot terminates the shore,
that straightness is the first point TO be consd
cred. The green is guarded by large sand bunker.

the featureless nature of approaching on the
