Is the real thinG loI any PiaS
The difference between the payer
who wins and the one VINO comes
close. is that the former makes fewer
had or indifferent shots. There are
hundreds and hundreds of golfers
who in the course of a round play
the majority of the strokes quite well
enough for any purpose, but they
cant keen from letting some poor
ones creep In here and there: II Is
these few bad ones that do the
damage. They mean from three TO
six extra strokes on the count ana
where competition Is keen. that is
wide difference.
In the omen championship PLAYED
that year at the Baltusrol Goh Cluo
in New Jersey | was In the race
right up to the finish. but rouno
of ~ on the last try left score iour
strokes shy of the winning total
tied with Louis Teller at 301, where
oe Jerome n Travers won out with
ea7. a stroke better than Tommy NC
Namara and two better than Bob
Macdonald.
Travers' Victory Surprise.
Travers won after hard. uphill
fight on the last few holes. when II
looked as il he surely was bealeh'
and so became the second amateur
to win the open championship. Con,
sidering that Chick Evans had
missed tying Hagen by only one
stroke at Midlothian the preceding
wear. and that Francis Ouimet had
won in 1913, the amateurs were max
ing something of a show of the pro-
fessionals.
Their reign was extended the fol-
lowing year. when Chick Evans won
at Minikahda. near Minneapolis. But
these three players have been among
the great stars the game in TINS
country has produced. and it so hap
pened that they were all around the
top of their game in those years.
Travers' success in winning the
championship was bit of sur
prise. because it had been said of
| him that his strength was as match
nlayer rather than a medal player
But he was player of great deter
mination and GOODNESS and had the
good fortune to hit the championship
at the top of his game. Strangely
enough. in the amateur champion
shin some two months later he was
nut out in the second round. Such
are the fortunes of golf.
Medal Play Toughest Test.
Speaking of Travers reputation as
| a match play golfer, the question
frequently is raised as to which Is
the harder test, match play or medal
play. There is difference, and
some players certainly seem to show
to better advantage in one style than
| in the other To my way of thinking,
medal play is the better test of golf
! ing skill-not only the ability to
! play the necessary strokes, but also
the ability to meet all kinds of men
tai and psychological disturbances
| and hardshipa.

To get at 1t in another way. there
is little more room for luck in a
match play tournament. in the sense
that a player may go bad for one
round or even both rounds of 30
hole match. and still find his op-
ponent going worse, and so win the
match and stay in the race.
To cite case in comparatively re-
cent years. in the amateur champion
sh' at Brookline. Jesse Sweetser'
who won the title after one OF the
| toughest series of matches ANYBODY
ever encountered, played his worst
golf Of the championship against
Jesse Guilford, taking over so strokes
| for his morning round. But he hap
| pened to find Guilford playing even
more erratically, and won just the
| same.
Striking Example Is Cited.
Then in his match against Bobby
Jones. Sweetser played his first round
under 20. being more than dozen
| strokes better than he was against
| Guilford. AS a result. while the golf
| he played against Guilford probably
would have left him five or six down
against Jones. he really was at least
that much up against Bobby at the
| end of the first round.
| Now. in medal play. one round like
| that will just about put player out
of 1t. 1t won't always do it, because
now and then. even in a big champion
ship, lots of strange things can hap
pen. and nearly everybody will have
| at least one poor round. But as a
| general thing round above so
means curtains" in big champion
ship al medal play.
Until the Professional Golfers Asso-
citation championship was inaugu-
rated in 1915. ! had very little expert
ence at match play golf except In
friendly matches. But in the past
eight or nine years l have had a
good deal of experience, and I like
match play. | am not advocating that
the open championship be played on a
match play basis, but 1t is certain
that match play introduces elements
into the game that are not to he had
at medal play, and that adds to the
enjoyment of the game.
Chief Point of Difference.
The chief point of difference is that
in match play opportunities are con
stantly coming up where player may
be called on to decide whether 1t will
be better to take a fairly long chance
at something, whereas in medal play
the experienced player knows that, in
the long run, conservative tactics will
get him more. This adding of extra
chances, or at least opportunities for
them, gives to match play certain
attraction that is missing In medal
play. Also match play Is much more
of man-to-man tussle. and since the
gome at best Is as much battle. with
| ,&Irsen as It Is with the ut het, fel
Wv, this is an attra five feature.
