Experts claim the only way to pre-

TO so trap the greens and fairways

Heavy Rough Prevails.
In measure the latter problem has
been solved at Flossmoor. President

several weeks ago that the rough

this reason. and this reason alone, the

But severe rough that takes PEN

something definite. And the players
here realize IL. Most of them, except
on the wide open holes. such as the
first and eighteenth, are striving TO
keep down. the fairway rather than
TO get astonishing distance.
And therein lies the difference De-
tween the expert golfer and the or

Bobby Jones, Gardner, Guilford. Ouimet,
Sweetser and the other stars car get

press a bit to get this distance. In
doing so they find the rough or the
