Certain Terrnrs

There are certain bunkers, however,
that send their terror even to the best
and become mental hazards for leading
stars.
In 1913 Jerry Travers came TO the
last hole at Garden City with six
strokes left to qualify, and the hole is
a par 3.
His friends felt all right about it,
but Jerry knew what the traps around
that eighteenth hole might bring. They
were no ordinary traps. The result
was that he hooked his mashie shot to
the left, pounded away, and finally, by
sinking a coed putt, got down in seven,
tieing for last place and play-of 10
qualify.
On leading courses there are nearly
always certain wicked bunkers that
impart terror TO even the best. And
these bunkers, as rule, generally get
far more than their share-not because
they are harder to carry, but because
their known possibilities for disaster
destroy the confidence Of the players.
But these IRE exceptions. With prac-
tce there is no reason why the average
golfer shouldn't be able to get out
of the average trap in one shot. if he
plays only to recover and not for dis
lance. With this ability developed he
will find big improvement in his
shots 20 the green; for. with the elm
ination of fear, the natural stroke
comes back, the head is more likely to
be held in place, and the resultant
frmness will send the ball upon its
way.
Briefly, the golfer who can recover
from traps will get into fewer pits than
the one who can't, even if their physi-
cal ability in other respects is about
the same.
The moral being this: Learn how to
use your niblick and you won't need it
nearly so often.

The Bunker Dread

The idea is this: The average golfer
comes to a mashie shot Of 140 yards.
The green is well trapped, with pits
to the right and left. Now, II the
PLAYER felt fairly certain in his own
mind that even if he landed in the
trap he could still get out in one shot
and therefore lose but one stroke
there would be no great dread at
tached to the shot, and he could play
with a fair amount Of confdepce.
But in place of this he Immediately
has visions of getting in a pit ana
then losing from two to four strokes
before he has recovered level ground
again. In medal play this is haunt,
ing fear, and the usual result is thst
he plays the shot with full lack OF
confidence, which is pretty sure to
bring about bad miss. This. bunker
dread is not only likely to put HIM
into a trap through faltering stroke,
but it is also very likely to cost HIM
the two or three extra strokes that ne
