Harry Coils, well known course con-
structor of Chicago, and work is to

More Washington Data.
Returning to Tom Washington. here
are some interesting facts about some
of his II holes-in-one which. for lack
of space, I couldn't give in the pre-
NlpUS article
The first hole at his club. the Mo.
nomnock Inn. has n length of 142
yards. He has made three aces on
it.
He has made eight aces on the
course and has done five of the holes
i'm /. The shortest of these holes is
the 142-yard first. The others range
up to 246 yards.
He has a ringer record Of aces
and duces. for total of 13 strokes.
The course measures but 1000
yards. but that Is real golf, anyway.
Taking the Rocky Road.
In addition TO making II aces.
Washington has seen some made by
others. One day at the J50-yard
eighth hole at Lake Apatcong, he
watched a foursome playing in front
of him and viewed the strangest hole
in-one that ever came to his attention.
Thre@ of the players pitched on the
green, which is much lower than the
tee. All had puts for a 2.
The fourth PLAYER topped his ball
and seemed beaten, because there is
nothing but deep rough between tee
and green. However, his ball bounced
from stone to stone, reached the green
and rolled into the cup.
One of the other players. making his
2, was heard to moan bitterly.

Result is a forearm shot, to great
extent, straight down and through
into the ball and then on through
on line. The through-on-line move
ment is accomplished by keeping
the right arm straight after con,
tact, just as you should the left
arm straight on the backswing and
until after contact.
The reason for stars getting woll
over the ball is TO insure keeping
the ball on the line of flight. They
do not have to bring the clubhead
around back of them, as on drives.
II leads to more compactness and
permits of hitting straight on
through. Bringing the iron back
and around makes it more difficult
TO insure direction. That IS why
they rarely use wood, especially
spoon, for shots to the green just
- under 200 yards. That shot has to
be on line, so it's made with an
iron.
