Along with all the other improve
ments came a decided change in the
manner of playing the game. The
great resiliency and general liveli-

different stroke. The old-fashioned
bunkers caught the new-fashioned
ball and confusion prevailed for a
time. Vardon. the master of the APP

because it could not be placed

golf world began TO study the game
with a seriousness never known be

the finger grip<was a necessity, for

game started off with rush with
the LapOrte five the aggressors and
which took them into the lead when
two fouls were called on the locals
i'm quick succession and which
Daniels dropped in with apparent
ease. This lead was never lost
through the whole first half.

suit the new ball, and later on il
was discovered that courses them
selves must be changed 10 meet
scientifically the distances to the
new ball. The rubber-core made
golf seem easier, and as automobiles
were coming into general use about
that time golf clubs became more
accessible, and one could consider
laying out courses farther out Of
town.
Golf architecture came in, and
the new golf architect gave much
time TO the study OF new ideas in
golf courses. The old traps were
in exactly the wrong distances for
the new ball, and the artificial lines
Of the old bunkers could no longer
be endured; modern taste demand
ed that they should blend into the
landscape. Palatial c1ubhoUses took
the place Of the small wooden build
ings and an air of permanency be-
came evident BY this time the
game was really supporting thou
sands Of people. and I suppose that
now there is more money invested in
the golf than in any other sport in
the world. And what promises to
