GOLF
FASC|NATES.
"Skeets" Watson

I Just had a little ramble around
the Arcade and gave the indoor
golf school of Ted Cummings and
Perry B. Hoover the once over.
There were a. lot of golfers up
there doing their bit at the nets
and the constant bang of the golf
balls against the canvas sounded
much like the old battle field.
Looking over into the No. 2 cage,
I saw John Mccormack and Bill
Williams, OF Indian Spring. having
a driving contest. Speaking of
wars, John was the real cause of
the last war. | watched him about
forty shots and he missed thirty
nine and a half OF them.
Al Price and George Diffen-
baugh, the professionals. were
as busy as a couple OF bugs on
house cleaning day. directing
the traffic about the putting
green. George is not gifted
with much talk but stopped
long enough to tell me that he
and Ray Bingy) Bryan beat
Al Price and Melvin SOper on
The score is still a mystery.
There are a lot Of golfers in
tcrested in this indoor golf stuff.
JOSHUA Carr. Eddie BoItz and Tom
Hughes, all of Argyle, have been
playing at the Arcade school. D.
NJ, Mcpherson and Robert StuntZ,
of Indian Spring, Mrs. Samuel
Posey, Helen Kimball and Ralph
Hall were all on hand yesterday
taking a workout.
/ took a good slant at Ted Cum
mings, new indoor net. and ] want
to declare right here that / think it
lis the real article. The most inter
esting thing about the whole ar
Tangement is, you can really play
a game with the darn thing. In
the canvas are numerous pockets
which catch the drive The bail
is then expelled through a pipe ont
onto the putting green, ready to
putt right at the old cup.
II the ball is driven low and
falls into one OF the lower
pockets it rolls into q hazard.
Should the shot be straight and
true 1t rolls toward the pin,
giving the player one putt for
tile cup, whereas II the shot is
slightly off the line of play, the
customary two puts must be
taken. This is an interesting
outfit.
Who should walk in but Eddie
Town, professional al Indian Spring.
Eddie took three shots, registering
three perfect hits. like good sailor,
and quit. He is going to leave the
city on February ! for Lake Wales.
Florida, where he will spend the
winter. Gene J.arkin, his assistant
at the Indian Spring course. Who
will likely succeed him as pro at
Four Corners, took few puts and
holed out several long ones.

Putting Is practically a right
handed stroke. the left doing hardly
anything more than merely steady
ing the right. And it is important
to make the two work as one.
Also it may be observed that the
thumb and forefinger OF the right
are the real controlling factors.
This is because these two are the
"feelers.' They convey a feel of
the club.

Personally find that placing the
ball of the thumb lightly straight
down the shaft helps me a great
deal But keep in mind that this
is done with very little pressure.
In fact the entire grip is light. 1t
is fatal to clutch the club in put
ting. even more so than in other

I should really like to see an
open championship field start out az
match play; not to determine the
open championship, OF course Tor
medal play will always be the real
test. but just to see how the players
would stack up. / should like to
see the country's best pros ana
its best amateurs meet In an
elimination series Of thirty-six hole
matches. think it would be q
sight worth seeing.
Oddly enough, considering the
little practice they get, the prores-
SIGNALS are as a class tremendous
match players. They always appear
to me as though accustomed re-
straint has been removed and that
they are out to shoot their heads
off. Freed from the worry OF
card and pencil they go wild. j
have come TO think that amateur
