Abolition Of "Blind Holes" in Golf Is Step Backwards

Placing blind holes in the discard was the
biggest bit of bunk ever slipped over on the
golf-loving public. 1t is a shame that golf
has to lose its master-stroke because some
fanatic, decade or two ago, voiced to the
world that player should have full view
OF the green when playing his approach
shot. Whoever he was that spilled that bit
OF information certainly started something
that has kept many clubs with a balance on
the wrong side of the ledger ever since; re-
modelling to suit modern golf-course archi-
tects' ideas means the expenditure of coolies
of money
Present-day golfers have large green

THEY say that the greatest thrill in a
! golfers life comes when he holes his
tee-shot but golfers of the old school will
tell you that modern golf course construc-
ton took away all chances for real honest
to-goodness thriller by the abolition of
blind" holes, so called because the shot to
the green had to be made over hill that
hid the players view of the flag
Nowadays, golf course that has a
blind hole is not considered up-to-date,
because, experts tell us, one should see the
hole when playing to the green. Playing
blind shot is not golf We wonder why

fallen to the lot Of the old-timer who, after
playing to blind hole, saw the ball lying
close to the flag.
With the passing of the blind hole, golf
courses were constructed so that the player
could "see the flag but this style is now
going the same route as its predecessor. To
be up-to-the-minute putting greens must be
built so that the player can "see the hole"
when playing his approach-shot
And what is the result of these fads and
fancies? A heavy expense TO the club mem
bers Are these modern putting greens

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-Two more

the back of the green has to be built up and
the outcome usually shows that the player
who shoots boldly at the pin finds himself
with down-hill putt for his next shot. In
other words, why should player who over
plays the hole be penalized any more than
the one who undershoots the same distance?
Maybe the experts can enlighten us on the
matter, but any golfer will tell you that an
uphill putt is much easier to sink than one
from the top-side.
Small wonder that the vast majority of
members of golf clubs thruout the country
are beginning to squawk about the "im-
provements" that are necessary to give
them an up-to-date golf course.

Fertilizers

necessity If one would keep his lawn

ton The vegetation requires s Ger
tain amount OF plant food which must
be supplied TO the ground and the
only manner in which this can be done
Is through the application OF ferrilfz-
ing material Commercial fertilizers
which sre complete and carry all the
elements necessary are most excellent
means of carrying out this condition
but il is necessary that one exercise
considerable caution in the sppEcs-
ton or they are liable to injure the
lawn and shrubs through burning
caused by too much fertilizer II Is
better to use too little than too much
after using this type OF
fertilizer the ground should be thor
