The average golfer knows what it
means to play a strange course for
the first time, especially II that course
happens to be rolling and a triAe billy,
where distances are frequently decep-
tive and are only learned by frequent
tests, trials and tribulations.
The greatness of Ray and Vardon
was never better shown than at Fox
Hills, course of the rolling, undulat-
Ing type with certain rather sharp as
cents and descents to figure on.
Yet Vardon, with wounded thumb,
got around in SO on his first trip. and,
on his second round Ray turned in a 81.
TWO strokes under the professional rec
ord of the course.
These scores, among other phenom-
email rounds over strange courses. are
proof not only of fine golf but Of
wonderful judgment in figuring ranges.
1t IS extremely hard over a strange
terrain for the average golfer or even
the higher class golfer to tell whether
he is $50 yards or 165 yards from the
PIN; whether his next shot is It's
yards or 1875.
Yet one glance seems to be about all
Ray or Vardon needs. One glance
and, having secured the club they need
the ball drops somewhere close to the
pin as if they had been playing the
course every day for year.
Judgment Of Distance
This judgment Of distance is study
that few golfers indulge in and vet
1t is one Of the most important parts
Of the game.
On his own course the golfer knows
from frequent tests, just what club
he will need from q certain spot along
the fairway or the rough This isn't
the result of study or Of judgment but
Of frequent experience.
he Will know the distance ahead lust
as he knows his own family CT his
own friends.
But out upon strange pastures he
is at sea, a total loss Yes, we know
pasture is not even metaphorically
sea, but you get the idea.

it was TO-
In playing this hole, Ray and Vardor
would almost certainly judge the dis
lance properly at one glance, as they
have made range finding a matter O,

be a guess.
But with nineteen golfers out O
twenty, the distance to be cleared O,

May Not Compete
I'm Rifle Matches

SEA GRIT, N. j., July 3l.-There is
Jersey will be represented at the ma
tional rife matches at Camp Perry,
OHIO, which open on August %. The
War Department has laid down regula-
tons with which New Jersey cannot
possibly comply, and efforts which
have been made by Brigadier General
Bird W. Spencer, the inspector gen
eral Of rifle practice for this state, to
have those regulations waived have
been turned down by General j. Mel
Carter, the chief of the bureau of
militia affairs of the War Department.
Some time ago a circular was issued
by the War Department with reference
to the sending Of teams by the various
states to Camp Perry. This circular
specified that all shooting members of
rifle teams who have never shot on a
team in the national matches hereto
fore nor passed the school course in
small arms fire at Camp Perry would
be required to report to Colonel Morton
c. Mumma, of the United States cav
airy, the executive officer Of the
national matches, on August l for a
course of special instruction.
The very fact that the reorganiza-
ton of the New Jersey National Guard
is only beginning to get we'll under
way shows the fallacy Of attempting to
get the team together in time to 20 to
Perry by August 1. General Spencer
has already lined up about score of
likely shots and the various companies
troops and batteries of the infaAtry,
cavalry and artillery units now in
camp will doubtless produce other good
material. But these latter units will
not have completed their practice
shooting until August s.
