Good Putters Are Born And
Not Made, Declares Hilton

A THOUGH 7 agree with most OF
a the statements pertaining 10 golf
emauating from that excellent
British authority, Harold II. Hilton,
] take exception 10 his remarks that
good uutters are born and not made
But there can be little disagreement
with his remark that matches are
usually. in fact. almost always. won
and lost by putting. This Is cue TO
good and bad putting, TO be sure, but
the fact nevertheless remains that it
is also brought about because putting
IS the concluding feature OF each hole
II is Just as certain that iron shots
would play a similar part in Eolr IN
the winning and losing Of holes n
the reaching OF greens with our irons
anyway you choose 90 take 10. there
can be no doubt that putting con-
tributes no small measure OF success
TO the winning OF matches and medal
rounds.
MANY WAYS To PUTT
BALL JUST RIGHT
As In all golf strokes. there are a
variety OF ways 20 arrive al correct
form in putting. and correct form"
seems TO be any style that is the
I wont TO give one reason for not
agreeing with Hilton in his remarks
about putting. Tom Mcnamara IS
considered 10 be the best putter
among our profess e llaAlas lle tells
me that it took years Of practice be-
fore he was al all dependable. Bis
practice was a bit varied from that
usually INDUCED in. too. for he placed
pins in the putting green at various
distances and strOve TO hit them
Hours OF such practice made the hole
appear TO be a hoEshead IN compari-
son and consequently Tom could try
puts under such conditions with
every confidence in his success. Per-
haps that is as fine a way as any.
When 1 first learned TO play
golf I must say that ] was more
efficient in driving and pitching
than in putting. The reason for
this was because the putt seemed
such simple proposition that
my time was spent in learning
other strokes.
But a realization Of the value OF
putting was soon brought home 20
me as the result OF o round at Brook
line Country club some nine years
ago. As I think Of it now I was a
mighty poor Dutter at the time. That
day was of my own game fin this
respect. In fact. took no less than
three puts on 70 OF the IS greens.
