In the ''meditations of a

in the green section Of the

are contained the following
words Of wisdom:
"The memories of the old

of the older players deteriorate
badly after about the thirteenth
hole. To correct this our psy-
Geological expert advises that
courses be heightened to at
least twenty holes, so that a
new species of psychoses will
gradually develop around a real

tirely obliterate the haunting
memories of the old nineteenth.

AS matter of fact, putting is
the cornerstone of successful golf.
Now this not only pleases the
ear, but the more it is considered
the more one realizes the truth
Of it.
To begin to learn to play golf
correctly, one must begin with
putting, when it will be found
that a slight alteration in the
stance and action will make you
successful with the mashie ap-
proach.
A little additional lifting of the
club and you have the iron, and
. SO on. How very few golfers, anna
tours or professionals, are consist
emily good putters. If it is his
day, everything goes right: if not,
putting becomes a terror. Why
this should be experts have tried
in vain to find out. because accu.
rate putting is not a case of
nerves.
Accuracy is the result Of the
right stan~o and the right action.
1t is no good putting one day
with a certain style and the next
day with something different.
One expert describes the right
way to putt as follows: The stance
to be correct must show the right
foot square with the hole, the left
toe pointing at the hole, the heels
about foot apart, and the ball
where the strike seems most com.
Portable.
The grip is the Vardon grip, with
just enough strength to keep II
steady. Next, it is essential to face
the hole with the left shoulder and
arm-this is essential if you are to
get a straight follow through.
beIore putting, it is best 70 get a
line from the ball to the hole over
piece of grass about four inches
in front of the ball.
When this has been done. all
one has to do is to carry the nut.
ter head over this piece of grass.

you were going to put the putter

All thls may seem very simple

your putter may be heavy OF

The Washington times., 1923-04-12

Merritt's seconds chuckeu IN the
sponge after their battler had gone
down three times in the sixth, and
the main bout of an interesting card
was ended decisively.
Ward has measured up to all
requirements deemed necessary to
make a star in dOughbOy boxing
ranks, and Fort Myer soldiers are
saving their meager cash to back
him in the coming battles for the
army championship.
Ward has triumphed in all his
bouts at Fort Myer, winning two
by knockouts and the other by a de.
cision over a devil dog named Nc
Carly, from Quantico, who out
weighed him by much.
A crouching style, making him
hard to hit; stiff punch in either
hand, and considerable knowledge
of boxing as whole and a rugged
frame are Wards assets.
He takes. the place of Shorty
OiConnell as Fort Myers main bout
fighter. O'Connell is the fastest
man seen in military fights around
Washington, but despite his bullying
muscles, his blows land like snow
flakes. Shorty sometimes is too
clever for his own good.
For instance, i'm his scrap with
Patsy MOxier, of the naval air sta
ton, OConneN was so clever COW
through lack of aggfessiVeness,
though he gave indication of much
more latent boxing ability than his
foe.
O'Connell is Fort Myers 145-
pound champion. He is Of powerful
build with arms and shoulders that
should carry the kick of a mules
leg. He seldom gets hurt and sell
dom hurts anybody, badly. His best
blow is delivered with the right
paw and with sort of Johnny Dun
dee leap, but with all his speed and
boxing skill it would appear that
Shorty would be more successful at
infighting.
Little Vince Carbon, another Fort
Myer star, is a battler worth watch
ing any time. He pushed Young
Pagan, OF Fort Meade, out of the
ring in the first round after a cou-
pie of minutes of fast action and
Pagan was stunned by the fall.
The bout was discontinued and no
decision was rendered. Pagan was
carted out on a stretcher. He was
not seriously injured.
In the brief melee, Carbon
looked to be the stronger fighter,
but Pagan has rep and another
bout between the two little fell
lows would be an attraction.
Both pack a waIlOp and know a
thing or two about boxing. Car
bon is a particularly hard hitter
and likes to fight.
Davy Jones, 125-pounder of Fort
Myer, was awarded the decision
over Terry Rogers, Fort Howard,
and many fans in the well filled
hall greeted the decision with boots.
Fort Myer is staging it's boxing
shows according to military rules
and ethics and it had been an
nounced that hooting and booing Of
decisions was one of the things
frowned upon. All the same, the
crowd made, a wicked protest and
the announcer in rather pointed
language described the way out to
those who felt inclined to razz the
officials further.
Davy Jones executed several fairly
solid blows in the sixth and final
round that might have influenced
the judges to hand him the happy
verdict, but the bout could easily
have been called draw. Both men
landed frequently, but Rogers more
frequently than his foe
De Carlo neatly trimmed Ball in
six-rounder, both boys being from
Fort Myer. De Carlo employed a
face-cutting left poke that Ball had
no defense against.

"AnOther item that seems ridicu-
IOus Is when player is told that

I'm teaching a beginner how to
handle a mashie one Of the first
things that he must be warned
against is an attempt to lift the ball
with the club.
"Once l advised a pupil who had
a lot Of trouble hitting his midiron
shots to hit the ball into the ground.
The pupil laughed as If it were
good joke, but when he attempted
to do 1t he got an insight into the
game that he never forgot.
Another thing that seems a triGle
out of tune with the general order
Of fact is when a tall man steps up
to the tee with a little short club
and a little man playing with him is
using a long club.
This Is hard to get through the
average mans head. Big man, big
club, they say; little man. little club.
1t all seems like good dope, but it
isn't.
Here is the way it works out: Tall
man has long arms and needs short
club. Little man has short arms
and needs long club.
Another idea that buffers fail to
grasp is the art of applying back
spin. Most golfers are possessed
with the idea that if they hit ball
high in the air it has back spin.
They are surprised to see it run,
and remark: How could that hap
pen when put plenty of back spin
on the ball?'
"They are surprised when told
that a low shot carries more spin
as q rule. To apply back spin. hit
the ball down. How many know
that ball hit above the center
impartS back spin?
Beginners very often will give
the teacher an argument about
swaying. They step up to the ball
like they would If they were going
to hit a baseball, and step back to
soak it, Then. reminded of their
error, they insist that this is the
only way they could get any real
power into the shot.
when playing out Of a sand
trap only the most expert players
know how to take sand along with
the ball and make the proper ex-
plosion shot. Most golfers want to
pick the ball out with the club.
When told to take sand they can
not believe that the instructor is
serious.
The Washington times., 1923-04-12

"A pupil is apt to ask: Why
should / hold my club that way?
1t appears to me awkward and with
out rhyme or reason"
Few golfers learn to slice or hook
a ball because they get mixed up on
the principle of the thing. When
told to stand with the left foot adj
vapced, the ball teed off the right
heel and the club addressing the ball
as II it were going to send 1t into
the rough at the right, to obtain
hook, the chances are the pupil will
give the teacher an awful battle. III
/ did that l would surely knock the
ball in that direction they will tell
you. They would think it just as
absurd to aim to the left and draw
the face of the club across the ball
for q slice.
The Washington times., 1923-04-12

Delusion No. was in the club. 1t
was at first thought that a very wide
club and a very deep one was neces.
sary to give one plenty Of space to
hit the ball. Today the best golfers
hit the ball on a space no larger
than a half dollar.
THE old boys grew out of this
fallacy, but fell into another one
just as bad. They imagined that the
club must be concave or scooped out
in order to get hold of the ball. One
day Willie Park came out on the
links with a club that was convex
or what we know today as the bulger
type. Everyone thought it impos-
sible to hit the ball with this trick
club. yet Willie did it, and now three
fourths of the best players drive
with bulger clubs. This seemed to
be absurd, yet it is a fact.

of experience and an accident. First
there was the feather ball, which
was succeeded by the guilty. When
gutta percha was thought of in con-
nection with a golf ball it was ex-

failure because it had a habit OF
ducking. No one, strange to say,
guessed the reason, and it was dis.
covered by accident. The balls were
discarded as not suitable. The cad
