MEDAL GAME IN GOLF IS
MORE DIFFICULT TO PLAY
Qualifying Round for Presidents Cup at Shuttle Mes.
dow Bears Out Assertion - High Handicap Men
Bring in Lower Net Scores-Eight Strokes Above
Far is Best Gross Score Made - Many Easily Do
better IN Match Contests-Safety First is the Rule


winch is more difficult, match or
medal playo The answer to that
question would vary with different
players according to the difference
IN 'helr temperamenls. But the
scarcity of scores near par in the
iuaiiylng round for a tournament
would indicate that medal plav Is
more difficult for the average PLAYER
than is match play.
Half a hundred golfers recently
endeavored the qualify for play for
the presidents cup event at Shuttle
Meadow. The best gross score turn
ed IN was ~ or eight strokes above
par. Several players in the club
can go out In an ordinary match
and score lower than that without
eSertlng themselves. They do SO
every week but when it comes TO
scoring IN medal play. high hand
leap men bring in lower net scores.
1T may not be the chief reason
but the fact that most of the play
ers in this particular event were
playing matches, while they were
trying to qualify, had a lot to do
with the high scores. Medal play
and match play don't mix too well
for the fair golfer or the duffer.
In match play the game is to take
chances to win the hole. In medal
play safe1y-first is the rule that
keeps the score down. 1t IL much
more dangerous to score an eight on
a hole In medal play than to do so
IN match play. A hole lost by
single stroke is just as bad as to
lose 1t by three shots. But those
three wasted strokes are hard to
make up in medal play.
In the above mentioned event two
players teed off for the last hole.
needing only SKIES TO qualify. A par
five is not very difficult on the 18th.
A six Is easy. But both took Fights
and thus disqualified themselves. In |
stead OF playing it safely they took |
some chances that did not come off |
and they found themselves out of |
the first l6.
Golfers get more experience with
the match play game than with
medal play. Most Of the weekend
foursomcs scores by holes rather
than by total strokes. If the players
IRE unevenly matched, strokes or
bisques are allowed by the better
players.
1t would add novelty to the
matches if the winners were deter
mined by the net scores instead of
~ the holes won. Perhaps by this
method more golfers would be turn
ng In better cards.
10 win match when one has
played rather poor game is not
'ery satisfactory. After all golf is
game to be played against ones
'elf and against par. To play con-
lstenty up to ones handieap and
occasionally lower ones gross score
offers the most satisfaction in this
game. More attention. to medal play
