Never an exceptionally brilliant putter,
Tommy has worked wonder with this

competition. Tommy always has been
known as a great money player, but he
did not show his old-time spirit In
either the United States national nor
the Canadian open championships. The
American national loss was due solely
to his putter, strangely enough, for
Tommy preferred to use an iron putter
on those keen greens at Olympia Fields,
where the wooden club he now uses
might have won him the title again.
Comparisons are not strictly In order.

The reason the average golfer
slices and keeps on slicing with more
or less frequency throughout his golf
career is that there are few errors
that do not lead to such a result.
We have already seen that the ten

Still another CAUSE. according to
Bobby JCruickshank, is to let the
wrists get too loose, When that is
the cause they get ahead of the head
of the club and eventually drag it
across the ball, instead of punching
it through. The cure is to not let
the left wrist get so loose in taking
