BY SOL METZGER.

Perfectly useless golf" is what
was said or Abe Mitchells play
some years ago. Abe was hitting
'em mile off the tees, banging his
irons to the greens and--taking
three puts. They all do so at
times. Travis is probably the only
golfer who maintained perfect put
ting form throughout his competi-
tive career.
Tom Mcnamara it was-and Tom
was once considered the best of the
pros on the greens-who attributed
his touch to his method Of practice.
He never putted for the hole, a
inches in diameter. Instead, Tom
stuck a pencil In the putting green
and used that for his target. Tom
said a hole looked so big when he
had to putt for one that he just
couldn't figure out how he could
miss. Travis himself used balls for
targets. Both schemes gave the
players confidence, a valuable asset.
Walter Hagen gets a slight top
spin to his puts, as do many stars.
One method is to hold the hands
bit ahead Of the face of the club.
Another Is to have the bottom
swing back Of the ball, so your
face will strike 1t as 1t rises. The
result is the same-the ball shoots
down into the hole instead Of mer-
rily bouncing out.
Travis always putted the ball
over an imaginary spot few inches
ahead Of 1t and on the line to the
cup.
