Bui1h1g lZp.llbur Game
Sy ZaMeS&. 80,nes
c1son1son q THE Hsited States

When a golfer starts out to i'm
prove his game there is always one
thing he. should consider FIRST. and
that Is the study and correction
OF his greatest fault
His greatest weakness may be
driving. iron play or in the short
game on and around the green.
or course, II may be in all three
departments. in which case he
should start to develop his short
game and build up from that
You will ind one set of golfers
who are so hopeless and helpless
on the tee that they have no
chance to get started.
After their first shot they are
either In a bunker or out of bounds
or in some other trouble.
You will find another set who
are at least far from the tee but
who are helpless when Il comes to
an approach shot on any type of
iron play. This means that their
second shots leave them in trouble
that may cost from one to three
more strokes before they get up
| around the green.
There is still the third set who
can play fairly well up to within
| ten or twenty yards of the green.
but who know nothing about the
short approach and still less
about putting. where three puts
to the green Is almost q certain
thing.
short-Game stun.
A few weeks ago. in a certain
tournament down South, / took my
position just OFF a certain green
that called for a drive and fairly
good iron.
l stayed there most of the morn
ing. The field was composed OF
average golfers, without any par
ticular stars.
Some one would get away with
a good average drive and then put
his approach shot within fifteen
or twenty yards of the green.
He was now In position where
putt would still give him a par
four.
But this rarely happened. Il
was almost pitiful to count the
number of strokes wasted here.
One man would come along. give
the ball a nervous jab and barely
reach the edge Of the green. Then
he would take three puts. getting
down in six.
The next one would swing back
too far and either go away over
the green or dub the stroke. at
tempting to check it on the down
swing.
Around that green ! saw more
shots wasted than l would have be-
| lieved possible.
Main Faults.
The first fault | discovered here
was the way most of them failed
to get the right line. They were
either way to the right of the
hole or way to the left. And some
were thirty feet short and others
| were thirty feet over.
In almost every case on these
short approaches their back swings
were too long and too fast.
i saw hardly a man who first
got the right line and then came
back evenly and steadily the right
distance to hit the ball firmly with
the right club.
/ asked several il they had
picked out any particular spot to
pitch to. allowing for the run.
None had. They didn't know
whether they were going to chip
the ball or play a short, low pitch
and run. They had no definite
method in mind.

In the same way when IL came
to an approach putt between
twenty-five and forty feet you
could see that few had made up
their minds in advance what the
right line was and just how hard
they wanted to hit the ball. They
were still guessing as they swung
the putter. And ! should say that
at least so per cent lifted their
heads as the blade of the putter
was reaching the ball.
Corrections Needed.
The short game IL big factor
in good scoring. How can any
golfer ever hope to get a low
score when he needs from three
to four strokes more just OF the
edge Of the green, or possibly as
far as twenty or thirty yards
away?
First OF all, just off the green
he should get some club that he
can use. preferably one with
straighter face than a mashie. II
may be a jigger. a mashie iron or
an approaching cleek.
He should learn on this stroke
to keep his body still. not to
swing back too far, and to use his
right hand almost entirely. the
left being mainly a steadying
factor.
He SHOULD never under any con-
ditions hurry the short swing.
II he Is going to play the pitch
and run he should get his line and
then pitch 10 certain spot, as
close as possible. where he thinks
the run will carry him close to the
cup.
II he Is going to play the chip
shot where the ball barely leaves
the ground he should get his lihe
and hit just SO hard.
But his mind must be made up in
advance. his body must be kept
still. and once the swing has
started he must only be thinking
about hitting the ball. 1t is too
late to change your mind while the
swing is under way. one of the
commonest faults in golf.
This short approach off the green
and the long approach putt are
two of the most useful things in
golf to practice. One must have
a certain amount of confidence in
playing them. or he is lost. One
must have made up his mind what
he intends to do as he stands
above the ball. or he. too. is lost.
This stroke is more mental than
physical. II calls for poise, for
a cool grip upon the nerves 1t
must always be played firmly,
never iabbily. Keep the feet well
planted. the hands well down. the
grip upon the lower part Of the
leather where the club head is
under better control. And then try
to make practice of getting just
little bit past the pin. This is
fine habit TO develop. and a
habit few golfers have. You can
make a habit of this. just as you
now have the habit of being short
nine times out of ten. Don't play
the ball too far away. You want
II in where the head is pretty we'll
over the ball and where you can
see the right line. know a
numter of poor golfers who still
score pretty well because they have
mastered the short approach and
the putt. where they expect to
get down in two from anywhere
near the edge of the green. This
is a feature of the game that must
be built up II you have any idea
OF ever taking off strokes.

Mr.. Block invited the public to see hin,

now he had secured full title to the
thoroughbred. After Norwich won ihe

$4,000 for Norwich. This was price

he could not afford TO spurn. A horse
can die or break down or no wrong, and
Burlew was not a millionaire. So he
