Lighter and Bigger Ball
! The new ball recommended for adop-
lion by the Il. s. G. A. is lighter and
bigger than the present one. 1t will
not carry so far by many yards and
will be harder to control i'm a high
head wind. But it also will have
many reCompenses for the duffer as
well as the star
Golfers will find it easier to control
/ with a mashie, and easier to hit with
a brasSie and spoon. Being larger. it
will sit up better on the turf for
wooden shots and will 90 into the air
more easily than the present style of
ammunition. 1t will stop faster when
hitting the green and will be easier
to putt. The adoption of such a ball
will bring back the old 'in-between
shots" and put a premium on some
thing other than brute strength.
Most of our leading players favor
the lighter and bigger ball. I'm tired
of playing mashie-niblick shots to the
green" George Won Elm remarked
last Summer Ellsworth Augustus Of
Mayfield. known as one of the longest
hitters in the world. is another who
likes the idea of a new ball and Is
willing to sacrifice some distance in
order TO get a sphere that responds
more readily to a brassie and mashie.
Not to Affect Good Players.
The new ball will be no handicap to
men like Jones. Ouimet, Hagen and
Farrell. who play every shot skilfully.
In fact it might place them even far
Their ahead of the parade with so much
depending upon long second shots.
There should be little opposition to
the new ball from any source. 1t really
only will affect those who play i'm
championships. If the duffer prefers
to continue the use of the present
style of missile he can do so. for Ger.
tainly the manufacturers will not dis
card the far-reaching ball If there is
a demand for it. Those who compete
for national and sectional titles are
the ones who favor a change, so all
parties will he content.
