1t is satisfying to stage a game ap-
proximating par, but when. over a
succession Of holes. one gets far under
par one has fleeting feeling Of al
most superhuman power and ex-
periences a degree of pleasure that
is obtainable in no other way.
Let me illustrate: Playing the East
Lake course at Atlanta, Ga, on one
occasion a good many years ago, l
made a 1S0-yard hole in one, followed
with a five on the next hole GAO
yards), a three on the next 400
yards) and a two on the next (350
yards), holing a long mashie.
One. five. four, three, two-that is
five holes in Is, or an average of three
to the hole. It's the sort of playing
that makes you feel really good.
In the 1913 Dixie championship at
the Memphis Country Club. / was
nine strokes behind Freddie Mcleod
at the end Of the first days play.
In the morning round of the last
days play l started off with a per-
formance like that at the East LAX e
course. ! did the first five holes in
one over threes, concluding this per-
formance with two on the 230-yard
fifth hole, where my drive was a foot
from the cup.
In the afternoon round, I got even
threes on the first five holes. dupIi-
eating my morning play on the fifth
down to the last inch. A brace of SOS
permitted me to gain back the nine
stroke lead Freddie had gained and to
put him four strokes to the bad.
The pair of eagle twos on the No
hole won me the title.
Par golf is great, but it's kick is
mild compared to that you get when
you're playing in even threes, even
though you can't keep it up for more
than five or six holes.
