GOLF TERMS sIMPLIFIED
By CHICK" EVANS


 With so many tens of thousands of people now interested in golf, or beginning to get interested in 1t as the season comes on, great ln- terest develops in the golf terms. To thousands of these people the eX- pressions relating to golf are as mys- tifying as are the radio terms We hear so much these days.
 I shall not go into the elementary things which anyone who takes up golf becomes familiar with most readily, but there is one point which might well be made clear. That has to dc with the scores, and especially the scores of the very expert play ers the ones who participate promi- nently in tournaments.
 When I first heard of the game. in the days when the rubber cored ball was just coming in, any score under so was considered phenomenal, for with the old gutta ball scores were indeed few and far between. Pro fessionals used to crack that record occasionally, but amateurs only at the rarest intervals.
 Time passed, and the increased skill of the players, the maturity and the better upkeep of the course, and the highly improved balls sent the good scores" lower and lower
  sider that the upkeep Cf the courses and the better balls are alone re- sponsible for the better scores.
 1 think that more skill has been acquired with years. but, laying aside all debatable points, the fact is that scores have come down at a rapid rate.
 At one time @ was wonderful golf but now 70 is being reached with startling frequency, and the records of some of the older courses have been bettered 10 strokes in the last 10 years.
 That is a wonderful stride for ward and makes the present player of the 80 class second-rater. In a championship he might last one round
 In order to understand the com parative value of the different scores it is necessary to know something of the relative length. condition and difficulty of the respective courses Usually, in the modern tournament,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-09
THE CLOSED STANCE

Francis Oumet differs from most well known players; he draws the right foot back an inch or two from the line just as I draW the left back. This is what we might term the closed stance from want of d better word Nearly all good players use this stance when they wish to hook the ball as it is easier to send the clubhead into the ball frcm this position.
 In all three stances the width be- tween the feet is just the same.
 II one made chart of the feet and the position of the clup on the und. it would snow that the bal is in practically the same position in relation to the toes. Te ball and the two feet would form almost 8 triangle. At least, the distance from each toe to the ball would be the same.
 When Ouimet takes his stance the ball appears to be teed almost op- posite the right heel, while in my own case the ball is about opposite the left heel. With Duncan and Evans the ball is about in the center.
