RIVERTON HAS A COURSE
THAT SHOULD SERVE AS
REAL LINKS STANDARD
Some of the Finest Two.Shot Holes in Country and
Splendid Undulatng Greens Features of Links.
Twenty-Five Members in Service
By WILLIAM H, EVANS

THoSE Philadelphia golfers who have
L not had the pleasure Of playing over
the new eighteen-hole course of the Riv-
erton Country Club have missed ore of
the very best courses in the Philadelphia
district and links that few years
from now will compare favorably with
any inland golf course in this country.
It Is a course that every member of a
greens committee should see, for River
ton has greens and traps and holes that
are models.
1t is thework of Donald Ross, the best
Of our American course architects. Dom
aid gets 500 day for his services, but
he is worth every cent Of It. Clarence
II. Geist got him to trap the Seaview
course, and IL you have played over 1t
within the last six months you will begin
to appreciate just what a f,rst-class ar
chitect can do.
Where Riverton Was Wise
The plant of most course architects
is that the clubs will not follow their
blueprints. Riverton Is the exception.
Ross told them how to build the greens,
the traps and the tees. and they obeyed
him to the letter.
The basis of any golf course Is the
two-shotter. This type of hole is the
sinew and backbone of any links. The
three-shotter one Of these days will go
out of existence. as has the old CUTIE
ball. The one-shotter is Of course. nee
essary. but the chief objection to most
three-shot holes is that you can dub at
least one of the three strokes and yet be
home. The two-shot hole of the Ross
type demands two perfect shots and he
has built seven of these at Riverton.
Beautiful Undulating Course
OF the eighteen holes, eleven are on
the new addition to the links, and the
old nine-hole course makes up the other
seven. While the old holes as changed
by Ross are good. they are not In the
same class with the new holes. There
is a big grove of trees that divides the
two sections of the ground owned by
Riverton. The first of the new holes Is
the third. and the drive Is through a
clearing in these woods. 1t is more than
a dog-leg hole, for it is built at right
angles. A long. straight drive takes the
ball into the fairway Unless the player
can get away with sliced ball that just
clears the edge of the woods he has a
long brassy to the green. The green is
well guarded for poor seconds.
The second two-shotter Is the sixth.
The drive is from an elevated tee. and
the green Is just inside the woods. One
poor shot will not do, and, as with all
these two-shotters at Riverton, there
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1918-06-27

feet after the ball Is hit, combined with
the forward press. is wonder-working
arrangement and worth CAREFUL trial.
There is another thing, too. that have
learned lately. and that Is that the
follow-through has a great deal to do
with good golf playing. but 1t is worth
absolutely nothing unless you hit the
ball first.
I wonder IL you ever have the feel
ing when you are just playing around
and happen to hit very good shot that
you are really sorry that it is so good
because 1t was not made in an important
contest, and in way was somewhat
wasted? Think how much you needed
that very shot in your hard match
with Smith the other day. Often, in
deed, have I had that feeling. and after
particularly good shot under such
condition I have frequently played
carelessly so that l needn't waste those
very good shots either upon the desert
air or weak opponent. Few things
are sillier, however, than such ideas and
practice. Good shots are never wasted
and they cannot be saved. A man should
always try to do his best, whether he Is
playing in an important match or alone.
Try to let your good shots become a
habit, then you are more likely to make
one in an important match. That is the
only way to save good shots. Practice
them until they are at your fingers ends.
then perhaps you will be able to pro-
duce them at the proper moments.

expects to get home. The green on the
next hole is elevated and the second

finest holes on the course. The same is
true of the eleventh.
Plenty Of Variety
It takes time to grow grass in New
Jersey. SO the members are teeing up
on the new portion of the course, and
will for another year at least. But
when the turf is right Riverton is going

many golfers. But It is a fine undulatne

The greens are in splendid condition.
They are not perfect. for they are not
two years old, but. as to construction
and contour, they cannot be heaten by
any other club in this section of the
country. Every green meets the ball.
They are large and the undulations are
such that it takes careful putting to
get results. None of them is a freak
and the turf Is of an excellent character.
Just One Poor Hole
The only hole on the course that is
not really good is the eighteenth. and
on that there is tree. which interferes
with the second shot, no matter how

CORONER KNIGHT, IN ROLE
OF PITCHER, A COMEBACK

Coroner Bill knight. of the City Hall.
proved that his comeback of last year
was a real affair when he handed the
captained by Chief Deputy
Coroner Sellers a 17-to-2 setback yester-
day afternoon at the annual outing of
the Coroner's Office at Bethayres.
The fact that Coroner Knight was able
to hold that hard hitting nine Of Sellers's
to two runs and three hits signifies that
knight is either good pitcher or the
players on the other side were after an
increase In pay. At no stage of the
game was the Coroner in trouble and
after the nine innings were over several
big league scouts that were in the stands
offered Lucrative contracts to the Cor
oner. "Bill' hasn't decided whether he
will take any of the many officers. as at
present he is engaged In city and State
work.
