have as much to work on as l have
here, but the benefits are the same
whether one is pulling weeds out

Dempsey.
There isn't a foot of ground

water. and that makes the soil easy
to work. The weeds profit by an
occasional sprinkling just as much

continual battle to keep the weeds

Fortunate indeed Is the player
who Is fond Of practice. He is most
likely to get ahead the fastest. So
few OF us can take the time away
from ourselves to get out alone
and really practice, chasing q dozen
balls around the course with no
thought except for the technique
OF each particular shot and OBJ
serving the results from each try.
That is the kind Of work, however,
that really counts. 1t won titles
for me when nothing else ever
would have done so. I have always
been q consistent ''prackicer'' and
never year goes by that don't
try my best, through practice. to
make my game al that can make
It prior to important meetings
There ID. however, another kind
of practice and that is the practice
Of study. / know one golfer who
has played but little, having taken
up the game only two years ago,
but he has been so enthused over
it that he studies 1t constantly.
with the result that he Ii familiar
with more different things relating
to the playing Of the game than
perhaps anyone else within my
acquaintance.
This kind OF study possesses the
golfer OF one thing. He knows ex-
actiy how the different shots should
be made even though he cannot
make them expertly.
But the mere knowing how n
wonderful step IN the right al 3
reCtion. When he tries he at
least tries In the right way,
whereas 50 many players are
forever struggling while an their
efforts are fundamentally wrong.
The man / spoke of has ii within
him to step forth most any time as
really first-class player: he might
easily do so this year, the third
year OF his playing, and / say this
with the knowledge that this par
ticular player never has shot more
than fifty rounds. ii that many.
All OF which shows. am con-
WINGED, that playing good golf Is
10 per cent natural ability, with,
say 40 per cent actual practice
with the clubs and so per cent
study of the game. This makes
practicing about 80 per cent Of it,
since study is in itself practice.
So when you encounter one of
those fellows who takes to golf
naturally" you may be pretty sure
that he is practicing or studying 4
whole lot-one or the other, maybe
both.
