1t was at Merton in 1916, and whore
he astounded us all by his playing,
most particularly by the length Of
his drive and his general sturdlness.
Before his advent 1t was felt that
no matter what a boys skill might
be the weakness Of his young
muscles would put him at disad-
vantage when playing with grown
men, but Bobby had no such weak
ness, and he had the best possible
teaching. He put several good play
ers out Of the running and left his
mark upon that tournament.

1922 at Skokie when he almost
won. He had forged ahead of me.
He was close to the national
amateur in 1920 but fortunately

years later he has won the ma.
ttonal amateur, and he is still a
very young man. But there were
years of bitter disappointment.
Hard as these are to bear at the
time I am convinced that they are
good in the long run, for am
sure that it is only by such dis.
appointments that sound game js
built up. Surely there is no one
In America at present with a
sounder game than Bobby Jones:
perhaps there is not one so sound.
And he is perhaps the only
player in America likely to win
the British amateur, but I hasten
to add that even he should NOT
attempt IL without generous re.
enforcement.
Bobby Jones is a great golfer
and he won great victory.
1t was merely a delayed honor
and his chance came the very
next year.
