Jones always has a chance in high
class golf competition. When he
played with Harry Eardon three
years ago at Inverness the famous
British golfer was very much i'm
pressed with Bobby's golf. Vardon
told me that he was the finest
amateur player that he had ever had
the pleasure of watching. He meant
it, too. l had not at that time seen
then l have had the opportunity of
seeing Bobby perform, and perform
in such way as to lead me to believe
that he is all if not more than VAR
don said about him.
Has No Equal as Stylist.
AS a stylist he has no equal. This
comes from learning his game early
in life and acquiring good form
while very young / have been told
almost twenty years. and he is only
d lad of twenty-one now. This may
be exaggerating it a little. but. the
fact is, Jones was able to handle
golf club in some sort of fashion
almost as soon as he was able to
walk around nine holes.
Stewart Maiden brought Jones out
and there was no more interested
spectator at Inwood than Stewart.
who followed Bobby every step of the
way and was keenly interested in
seeing him land the big title.
Expert teaching has been a big
help in the making of the new cham
pion. l often wonder how so many
golfers play the game without any
basis TO work on Golf instruction
is very necessary if one is going to
get very far. Even if one takes only
enough lessons to learn the rudiments
of the game he is far better off than
the player who tries to work this
out for himself. Jones had the ad-
vantage of learning from the ground
up and. at the tender age of six.
knew how to handle a golf club in
an intelligent manner. When ten he
could score close to eighty. and when
fourteen he was match for any
golfer in the country.
Long Driving Big Factor.
Bobby is possessed with one of the
best swings in the game His style
is all that could be desired, and with
perfect timing be obtains a very long
country who is farther down the
course than Jones. All of this is a
great aid to scoring. as it leaves lit
tie to do. In the play-off at Inwood
observed that Jones was from twen-
ty to thirty yards ahead of Cruik-
who kept tab remarked that Jones
never was forced to play the odd. and
this is a tremendous advantage for
any one. )
There is. nothing weak about his
iron club play. He hits the ball with
a firm, crisp stroke that bespeaks
professional training and coaching.
His putting is perhaps not as bril-
liant as other departments of his
game, but he manages to make it do.
l would not rate him as one of the
leaders in this department, but Jones
is by no means a poor putter. His
game blends together well and he
manages to get around in figures
close to par in every start. 1 cannot
conceive of him playing a really bad
game at any time.

The putting stance must differ
from other stances because in put
ing greater steadiness and not SO
much force is needed. Better con-
centration can be secured by the
close, almost cramped, stance which
many players use. To give any def
mite directions for putting stance
is not desirable, because the many
positions that may be successfully
used differ SO greatly. However, it
is safe to say that almost always the
feet are close together and the body
does not have that freedom of action
which is so necessary for other golf
strokes. ..
