Veteran tournament player, former
British open champion. Noted es.
pseiaIIy for his short game and ac'
euraey on approaches.
There are several ways In which
blisters may be avoided. The best
way is to let the hands get tough
ened gradually by swinging club
a few minutes at time several
days in a row before going out to
play--and then playing but a me-
dium number of holes for few
days. Gloves will help keep blisters
away. but many golfers do not like
them because they destroy the feel
for the club" Soaking the hands in
a strong salt water solution or a
strong solution of alum and water
will also tougher them greatly and
minimize the chances Of getting
some unpleasant blisters.
