Some time ago 4 certain golfer came
to nc with this observation, which is
worth noting:
There was a time when | knew moth
ing about playing out Of q bunker. As
result | was always deadly afraid Of
getting into one ard running my score.
On this account I was always nervous
with a bunker to carry, and so gen.
orally lifted my head and promptly
plunged the ball into the sand. Then 7
went to work to learn something about
bunker play. | kept at it until I WAS
reasonably sure to get out in some
stroke. From that point or I found
myself playing over bunkers without
| any tear, reaching the sand far less
often than before, So | picked ND q
double value in this way'
This is undoubtedly true. The golfer
who knows how to play out of bunkers
wont get in them as often, for he will
be able TO go about pitching over them
without nervousness.
This is whore the double value Of
bunker play comes in.
Out of the Sand
There arc two types Of bunker play
that ono must consider The flrst is
the shallow bunker near the 9ree
where the ball is lying well.
Inc second is where the bail i A
bad lie, heel print, etc, or vile Lac
bunker SIDES are deem.
The shot ont OF the shallow bunker
near the green is one Of the hardest in
golf. The lofted club must take the ~
bottom Of the ball without cutting at all
into tho sand. 1t must be taken clean
y. If the sand is loose, | don't advise
TINS snot for the average player. II the
sand is hard and firm. the ball and
sand should be taken together.
In the chip shot out of the sand The
club should not be taken back nearly
as far.
Normal Bunker Shot
We come now to the normal bunker
shot, where the bali must be ham
mered out, always the safest to p!ay.
The first move to make is to iulge
Inequality of sand, whether it is LIGHT
or heavy.
The next move is to be sure that the
feet are firmly planted, 80 there will
be no sudden give at the top Of the
swing or upon the downward stroke.
STAND back Of the ball, yet we'll over
1t. With the feet braced, make IN
your mind IN advance to go after the
ball in decisive way This is no place
for indecision or half-hearted effort.
IT is no place to quit on a shot, which
so many do in their fear Of wasting
strokes.
For an average quality of sand I
would advise the golfer to pick out a
spot just an inch back Of the bail
where The club is to strike.
Turn bark the face of tho niblicL
and keep it turned back. The idea ia

Lands Trophy at Travers ISL
and With Card of 81: Sin.
clair Wins Handicap Cup

W. s. Silkworth was the winner of
the high scratch prize at the Travcrs
Island traps of the New York Athletic
| Club Yesterday. He took the shoot
with card Of 90 out of possible 100
targets. The high handicap prize went

full scores OF 100 targets. r. L. Duke was

and a special shoot went to f. H. Loca-
tell.
Being the final Saturday Of the month
as well as the last shoot of the year
several important fixtures came to an
end yesterday. Z. d. Anderson took the

to get the ball up quickly, to be sure
and get out, regardless Of getting much
distance where the sides arc steep.
The swing must be more upright.
The arms and hands are used here Jar
more than the body. 1t is more an
arm shot than the average pitch.
The head and body must be kept
still. There is very little turn of the
body in this stroke, for pivotinr is
not needed to any great extent.
Let the back swing come up evenly
and steadily under firm control. There
IS always a tendency here to hit in a
hurry. as one naturally has the feel
ing OF escaping from trap or a cage
and wants the thing done quickly.
Never mind about being too much
IN hurry to get out. Determination
and controlled swing are now the
main factors
With the head still and the BODY
held firmly, let the club head lead
,lghs through the sand. In the act &c
hitting the ball, draw the head across
the line of flight, as if playing for a
slice. 9
II you are in deep pit near the
green take enough sand 70 prevent SOU
from going too far over into another
trap. But don't strike so far back that
you cant get your club head through
the sand in time to get the ball uo.
You must judge the amount of sand
you want to take by the distance Won
have to go. You can regulate the dis
lance by the sand, but under no con-
dltlon nit too easily. One great mis-
take OF bunker play near the green.
where there are traps on the other
sac as there often are, is either hit
ting too softly or else quitting on the
down swing. If you must take q
chance, take the chance of going over
the green. Nothing could be worse
than hitting too easily and failing to
get out, for you are then usually IN
against the steep side of the trap.
Even in shallow pit advise the
average golfer to play boldly, taking
SAND rather than to try the chip shot,
which calls on keen touch and uu
usual Skill. This is one Of George
Duncan's finest shots, yet have seen
even duncan miss two OF these in sue
the ball must be taken properly to the
traction Of an inch, with the ton of
the sand only barely touched and with
the flick Of the wrists working to per-
fectlon. 1t is a stroke that many try,
but that few ever get away with. 1t il
too much Of a risk.
If the sand is shallow where there
Is no steep bank to carry. and the
quality is soft, hit boldly back of the
ball rather than attempt the other. LET
the hands and arms take the club head.

The left wrist remains firm throughout
