Golf Spheres Weight
and Size No Gauge
Of Yardage

There seems to be a general
idea abroad that this year will
see golf ball that will go
longer than anything heretofore
seen on the links.
"Unless / am greatly mis-
taken," wrote George Philpot i'll
a recent article for British
publication, "there are likely ito
be some entertaining develop
ments in golf balls. The idea
that the fixing Of a minimum
size and maximum weight put
limit to the length to which
a golf ball can be driven is
likely to be rudely and cruelty
contradicted. Without being too
categorical, golfers next season
may have to revise their esti-
mates as to what is the length
of a long drive. One fact GER
tainly appears to be emerging
that limitations in size and
weight are not necessarily in
themselves sufficient to limit
the length of the balls flight"

the rapidity with which his totals
