GOLF BALL
is NEEDED

GOLF lacks one feature that is
VI definitely fixed in practically
every other sport. standardized bail.
In many record breaking rounds
various kinds OF balls are used, vary
ing slightly in size and weight. There
is no doubt that lack OF standardiza-
ton offers chance for argument.
II all matches were played with a
ball the same weight and size, as is
the case in baseball. records made
would be on an equality basis.
Recently England has started a
movement for standardized ball.
The movement is not meeting with
much favor among the American
pros. who feel that England is seek
ing to get decided edge in estab-
fishing weight and size.
The English pros. particularly the
veterans, seek to have a ball consid-
erably lighter than the one used in
this country by our best pros as the
standard ball of golf.
Their reason. according to our pro
fessional players, is that with a light
ball, which will just carry so far. the
veterans are able TO get just as much
distance as the younger PLAYERS.
This is not true with heavier ball,
which has greater carrying qualities.
1t is possible, however. that the
weight question may be threshed out
and standard bali adopted soon.
