There are many golfers who play

they find themselves at loss to
Judge distances accurately, and their

Little advice is needed in regard
to balls. except to remind players
that they should nsver practice with
balls that have lost their weight or
advantage in tournaments where
fresh balls are used. In a recent ar
ticle in American Lawn Tennis, Mai
Kendall, the professional champion
of Europe and the foremost teacher
on the Riviera, says:
Then there is the player who has
taken unto himself new and ex-
pensive automobile. Believe 1t or
not as you like, this is the player
who always comes to me with five
or six last years balls. Although
they will insist on new balls for
match play, they think anything IS
good enough to learn with, whereas.
if they expect to get anything at all
from their instructions, they should
use new ones every time they come
to learn strokes and tactics
Spiked shoes for grass play have
row been oficia1ly barred from tour
narlents. except during we. weather.
This ruling has come about through
the introduction of the new crepe
rubber sole which gives aim st as
secure footing as spill"s. 1t is also
far better for hard court play than
any sole heretofore used. 1t was
originally discovered and adopted FOR
general play in India abo 1t three
years ago, and is now universally
used. 1t is lighter in weight than
ordinary rubber sole, and its spongy
thickness has proved an excellent
protection to the feet. This form of
sole is also used for golf shoes and
even for street shoes.
Those who are enthusiastic enough
to build home courts should be care
full that their nets are either tarred
or dyed and waterproofed, as they
can then be left out over night with
out injury. A net should never be
rolled up and put away while damp.

! the gut itself requires frequent
light coats of varnish, which protect

they will not rub against each other
and wear out. This is particularly
true Of hard courts where there is
! much grit. In very dry climates a
light application of linseed oil is suffi-

A warped frame is proof that your
racket has been neglected. Even a
press will not prevent a racket from
pulling out of shape If string
breaks. so always examine your

Every player examines his racket be-
fore play. but 1t is more important
to look 1T over carefully before put
ting 1t away. If even one string is
doubtful, have it repaired imme-
diately. for a frame once warped
never quite RECEIVERS its normal shape.
AT present there Is a great demand
for lightweight gut because of a
popular belief that 1T gives better
control of the ball, especially IN the
more delicate shots. 1t also gives
the impression Of being more lightly
strung because of It's higher pitch. /

with somewhat definite idea as to
how far a golf ball will roll when
struck in a given way.
The greatest Roman of them all
the peerless Harry Vardon-was a
past master in the art of accurately
judging distance. In this country
we have two outstanding examples
among the amateurs - Bobby Jones,
first, and Francis Ouimet.
Faculty Seems Instinctive.
With both these amateurs judg-
ment of distance on strange course
appears to be instructive, for they
both play fast. Without hesitation
both Jones and Ouimet will pick our
an iron or wooden club and blaze
away at PARKWAY green. Their per-
centase of errors in judgment is
small, indeed, considering the stretch
OF country over which they look.
Gene Sarazen has the same faculty,
probably an acquired one, for al
though Genes shots were just as
good prior to 1922, he really found
himself in the south early that year,
and came north to win the open
championship and the professional
match play title.

lance. 1t Is necessary for the aspiring
golfer TO play over as many courses
as possible In order that the eyes and
muscles may be trained: first to es-
innate the distance, and next to
gauge the punch that must be put
into the shot.
