Bobby Jones Had
to Improve Putting

Not long ago Bobby Jones was
wretched putter. AT the open
championship at Columbia in 1921
he shot a II on his first round at
the expense of eight 3-putt greens.
a round that might just as we'll
have been q 80 or 20. That same
season in the amateur at st. Louis
Willie Hunter beat him. and beat
him badly, on the greens. Where
upon Bobby gave consideration to
finishing the hole properly for in
all cases the rest of his play had
been fiaWless.
Bobby used to play his puts like
Walter Hagen, with weight we'll
forward on his left leg. Now he
puts very much like Travers used
TO putt when Jerry was the last
word on the green's. with feet even
closer together, and no golfer, not
even Hagen, is as consistent over
the stretch Of a season. II was his
putting that gave him the edge
over Won Elm in the British open
last Spring and made him the SUI
perior of Won Elm in several finals
in the amateur preceding the past
one.
Inc secret OF Jones present pun
ting method is a stance with heels
we'll together and scarcely a bend
in the knees. plus a still body, one
that never moves during the stroke.
His grip is not taut and his
stroke is rhythmic throughout.
Bobby can lay them dead from 50
feet away, as well as hole them up
20 ) feet with certainty. And sole
~ because of his improvement in
putting he is the outstanding player
of the day.
