several trades when asked his occupa-

for years. The Survey tells Of a case

it and described it. 1t was a tricky
green, with drop of twenty feet be-
hind it. To have overrun it would
have been fatal. There was stiff
head wind. The player would not risk
running up. He cut we'll in under the
ball to get all the back spin he could.
He pitched the ball we'll up against
the wind, which caught it and. on &C
count Of the spin, threw it up and up
until it scared almost over the hole.
then it dropped like shot bird about
a yard from the hole, and the back
spin gripped the turf and held the ball
within a foot Of where it fell 1t was
obvious to one man that it was a
crude shot. 1t was equally obvious
to another. who knew the inner Sc
crets of the game. that it was a bril-

cuted stroke. One man saw nothing of
the soul of the stroke. He got the
husk and the other took the kernel
