new HANDICAP SYSTEM
IN GOLF GAINS FAVOR
Root Idea May Soon Become Rival
Of Calkins Method.

A new basis OF computing handi.
caps, known as the Root system, is be
ing advocated in many of the West
ern golf clubs, where Il is contended
that the Calkins method does not
equalize nor is IL just. Its basis of
three cards for an average play is
said to be decidedly unfair.
Golfers who play courses having
pars Of "A, IS, and 20 In those figures
are given no handicap, while others
who play courses with pars of IS to
10 in similar figures are given from
five strokes down to one as an allow
ance.
The idea of the Root system Is TO
give the player a rating equal to 90
per cent OF the difference between Par
and the average OF his best i've
scores Even this number OF cards
are considered too small to work
upon, but It Is said to be more liable
to average up than three scores
would be.

Another radical departure from the
beaten track is one that calls for q
