The Left Arm Theory.
81 believe this golf of Martucci's ex-
plodes the old theory" Travers con-
tinued, that the main stroke in golf
is delivered with the left arm. We have
all been told that, but | doubt it now
very much. Martucci could never get
anything like the distance he does with
left-hand back handed swing. | be-
lieve the main punch in golf comes
from the right wrist and right forearm
and that the left hand is the guiding
instrument. don't believe any long
driving golfer, such as Guilford or Bob
Gardner, could get the terrific distance
they make by any back left-handed
stroke
Any one who watches Martucci play
would certainly judge at once that golf
was a right-hsnded game. as this pro.
gets results with such apparent ease,
being able to play any shot called for
with no left arm TO work with.

Walter J. Travis proved that man
could start golf beyond thirty-fve and
still be a champion. In this way he
rendered an invaluable service by
planting the seed of hope in the breasts
Of many who were unable to develop
the game early in life.
Now comes Louis Martucci, the Essex
County professional, TO show that
man can even lose an arm and still
hold his own with the best, not as
moderate player but as one good
enough TO 90 out in SO and come back
in 80 for a spicy 6sl Which is just
what Louis did at the recent profess
sional tournament.
The Games Marvel.
We watched Martucci at play over
Van Cortlandt and his game was al
most beyond believing. He has pow
erful right forearm, and with this is
able TO get fine distance by whipping
the club through at top speed, taking
full wallop at the sphere.
The thirteenth hole at Van Cortlandt
is 200 yards, uphill, with small green
banked TO the right. Good distance and
fine accuracy are both required TO get
there and stay there Yet Martucci
three times in succession plunked his
drive on the green. We saw him make
an even more remarkable shot than
this. At the next hole he drove 22O
wards. but hooked his tee shot into the
heavy rough-rough at least ten inches
high and excessive thick. This left him
a pitch Of eighty yards to the green.
Taking a heavy niblick he tore through
the thick grass and not only got the
ball out, but lifted it high into the air.
dropping il on the green only eight
feet from the pin, where he trimmed the
cup for 3!
One-Handed Putting.
One-handed putting isn't so hard to
understand Any one who has played
golf has frequently tapped the ball
into the cup from three or four feet
away. and found the shot simple one.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a man
adopt this one-handed style and i'm
prove his putting-on short. puts, any.
way-for there would be only one hand
to control. Martucci is certainly an
exceptionally good putter, as he hits
the ball firmly and always gives 1t d
chance.

ers, "the first time | saw Martucci play.
