Touey is burly, wide shouldered
man, with terrific driving power, yet
with n delicacy of touch on the green's
that it seems impossible to credit. AS
q match player he has no superior on
the British links, for he has that bull
dog. fighting instinct and the competi-
tive soul that makes him dangerous
even when apparently hopelessly beaten.

effective: One instinctively associates
the idea of steadiness with big man,

is apt to become fustered if he strikes
a poor hole, and does not recover in
time TO cut down the precious strokes.
