One Of Them

\ group OF golfers were discussing
a short while back the best shot that
Travers played at Baltusrol in winning
the 1916 open championship.
Memories of this round were re-
called because Jerry fought his way out
of so many close calls, where a slip
might have easily left him trailing a
stroke or two back of Tommy McNa-
mara, who was playing brilliant golf.
The best shot. or the most effective
one, that we saw Travers play came at
the tenth hole in the last round. Word
was brought TO him at the tenth tee
that he needed 81 TO win. The tenth
hole. being good iron shot and then
pitch TO the green, was one OIL the
easy As and possible IS. With fair
tee shot il was an easy 4, but with a
poor tee shot the surrounding water
made it hard par.
In attempting to play too safely
here Travers sliced his first shot out
Of bounds. In place of taking his time,
as he had been doing before, he teed
up another ball hurriedly and hooked
this second shot to the heavy rough,
where the ball was resting in grass
eight to ten inches high and fully l4O
yards from the green.
MS u pS the thNt-llls W
4 was needed, just at the critical
moment of the match, when he had but
nine holes left and understood what he
had to do. Travers had missed two
shots in succession.
From where he was he had a hard
Job getting a 5. In place Of which
he jammed his third shot two feet
from the cup and bagged mis- par 4.
The fact that the ball stopped close
enough for is not the main feat
ure Of this shot.
The spectacular part is that after
having broken and apparently gone sky
high. Travers. who was then physically
and mentally worn down. still had
enough nerve control left TO pull him
self completely together and to play
one of the best and hardest shots in
the game--a shot that could be played
only by a firm, sure wrist and steady
eye.

A few days ago we received a letter
from reader suggesting that we
name and describe the finest single
golf shot" that we had ever seen.
Singing out or segregating any one
shot from all other rare efforts that
we have seen is a trifle beyond our re-
stricted imagination. Mental pictures
or memories of so many spectacular
operations between the tee and the cup
arise that selecting any one and call
inc it best" is hardly to be done
Yet the query itself suggests more
than one interesting moment IN hard
PLAYED matches where certain shots
turned impending defeat into a sudden
triumph.

Two Spectacular Rounds

One of the most spectacular nine
hole affairs ever presented was that OF
the late Charles B. Macfarlane against
Chick Evans in the 1914 British ANA

Here is Macfarlane's score for nine
holes: 3 3 6 2 3-3l.
Thirty-one with a Incorporated IS

as Sandwich is one OF the hardest
courses in the world.
But here is round fully as spectac-
ular, played by the late Jack Graham,
also killed in France, over the same
course and in one of the champion
ships; ..
Out. D
Graham came TO the ninth hole with

his second shot reached the green. But
the green hatI ened TO be excessively
fast and tricky. with various battling

took six puts, and in place of getting
his record breaking 80 needed a "a.
II would be no diffNult job TO mag
inc Graham's feelings as he missed MS
putt for 7 after being on in 2.

Oswald Kirkby and Max Marston have
had a a. finish left at Baltusrol to
get sss. and Chick Evans once needed
n 1 for 90. the last two holes being
fairly simple par is. But the best
Kirkby and Marston could do was SIS
