A play of this description last sum-
mer was the most difficult that ever
came to my attention Bobby Jones,
newly crowned open champion, my
former fellow townsman and club
member at Atlanta, Ga, made it. The
occasion was an exhibition match at
the East Lake Country Club, At
lanta. in which Perry Adair, Bobby's
successor as southern champion in
1921. and Stewart Maiden. East Lake
professional. were playing against
Bobby and I.
The play came on the very first
hole, which measures 500 yards from
tee to cup. Bobby got a drive Of
extraordinary length. His ball car
ried to the far slope of a hill more
than ESQ yards from the tee and then
took a long roll. When it finally
came to a stop it had concluded q
journey of fully $50 yards.
But bad luck attended the finish Of
this splendid effort. Going down the
hill slope, something detected the
ball to the right. When Bobby came
up it was resting snugly in q ditch
a few yards inside the rough.
The one redeemins feature Of this
lie was that the ditch was dry. How
ever, the ball was so close to the bank
nearest to the fairway there was no
