steel-shaft in Britain went the
way of all flesh and henceforth
throughout the land where waves
the flag that knows not the set
ting sun, golfers may WELD the
emblem of a machine age and
not feel themselves in durance
vile. The Americans have been l
up on their British cousins for
some time, for they have had the
privilege of using steel-shafts for
many years.
It's a good thing for golf in
general that the ban has been
lifted abroad, yet so far as cham
pionship golf goes, it is hardly of
real moment. At first glance it
appeared that the idea was op-
posed to the best traditions of the
game and like the old Schenec-
tady putter of the late Walter
Travis, the Steel-shaft would be a
sure route to American victory
on John Bulls preserve.
