What is par for hole draped a mile
and half across lake-or. rather,
across lake that is a mile and half
wide?
Here is an interesting development
along this line from Sewell Ford. an
ardent golfer, keen observer an all
around sportsman and a most depend
able commentators:
Spofford Lake N. H.
Friend Rice:
If this is open season for foolish
sports, perhaps you will be interested to
hear the result of an event in aquatic
golf which was pulled off here the
other day. Suttingly Golf played on
the water. The ingenious and am
bilious golfer who proposed the game
was ex-Lieutenant Winthrop Faulkner,
of Keene, N. H., recently of the Yankee
Division.
His bright little notion was that he
could drive a golf ball from one end of
Spofford Lake to the other, a distance
of one and seven-tenths miles, in thirty
strokes or less, starting from shore and
continuing in an eighteen-foot canoe:
He was to take his stance on a board
fastened crosswise to the gunnels, and
tee up on another board placed just
forward of his unsubstantial perch.
Also, he was to be allowed a paddler,
who might steady the craft as much as
possible. Right cheerfully, too, he
backed his proposal with cash.
Doesn't it listen like easy money?
Would you say that even risky
young chap who had been drilled to do
bareback cavalry stunts could take any
sort Of useful swing from such a
stance without splitting himself into the
water on his follow through? My
judgment, based on fair amount Of
canoe experience, was that it couldn't
be done. So the bet was on
But at that, Mr.. Faulkner knew ap-
proximately what he was talking about.
Handicapped by a head wind, rough
water and an inexperienced paddler,
he covered the distance in thirty-fou
shots, without wetting his bathing suit.
Only three swings were absolute
misses, and some of the shots would
have. been considered good on a turf
fairway incidentally, he made the
trip back in twenty-five shots, which
may or may not be the record for water
golf over course" of that length.
Freak Shots

IN golf than in any other game Not

even baseball. with all it's bizarre pos
sibilities, can keep pace with the Scot
fish pastime that has added so much to
the general art of conversation.
Some days ago a number of golfers
were discussing these freak or weird
shots. In the course of this polite
chit-chat the brown derby was awarded
a member of the Greenwich Country
Club, although his story was backed up
by several witnesses.
"The queerest thing that ever hap
pened to me-" he said, twas to lose a
hole at Greenwich to a man who had
two shots out of bounds"
That isn't so queer some one in
terjected.
Yes" ne continued. "but he won the
hole with 2.'
This was different matter.
at all happened in this fashion," he
said. His first shot was hooked out of
bounds, but in crossing the road it
struck telephone pole and bounded
back in. His second was also hooked
out of bounds to the left Of the green,
but this time the ball struck a tree,
bounded back on the green and dropped
in the cup
And at least three witnesses test-
fed to being there when this phe-
nomenon took place.

Can Happen"

In golf it "can happen" as Harry
Leon Wilson's Chinaman explained it.
Oswald Kirkby, the Metropolitan cham
pion, will never be able to explain how
he made certain shot at Siwanoy in
the Victory tournament. His ball was
resting in fairly deep bunker 15O
yards from the green. He was a good
mashie shot away, even with fair lie.
But on this occasion the ball was i'm
bedded in heel print, with only the
bare top showing.
His main purpose was to get the
ball out-not to reach the green. SO
he took a niblick. He had to tear into
the ball to clear it from the deep de-
preston. He expected to see it drop fifty
to forty yards beyond. Much to his
astonishmente the ball was just rising
when it crossed the green $50 yards
from the trap, finally dropping on the
veranda of the clubhouse back OF the
green, where it struck with a noisy
thud. If the clubhouse had not been
there as a barrier the ball might have
easily carried 200 yards. And this with
niblick-with the ball mbedded in
heavy sand. Yes, it can "happen.
