w YHEN I say I think driving as
n important as putting it may
wv sound heretical to those who
v insist on the value of the
short game. 1t is true no
one can be winning golfer unless he
is consistent around the green, but 1t
is equally true that no one can advance
far unless he can bash the ball far and
straight off the tee.
The short drive leaves you with many
problems the long hitter does not face.
On the average par 4 hole nowadays
the leading player faces a mashie shot
or a mashie-niblick, perhaps. The
weaker hitter has often to play long
iron or a spoon, with a consequent risk
of not getting the direction-for long
iron or wood shot. cannot be controlled
as easily as mashie.
Bobby Jones, it seems to me. is the
best driver 1 ever saw. His drives are
as long as any, and so consistently
straight that it becomes disheartening
waiting to see the ball kick off into the
rough.
Phillips Finlay, young Harvard stu
dent, hit the best tee shot I've ever
seen. Fin1ay is one of the most terrific
belters in golf:
Drives 318-Yard Hole.
He was playing with Francis Ouimet
and Roland Mackenzie in threesome
before the last national amateur cham
pionship at Brae Burn. The fourth
hole there is 318 yards long, with trap
300 yards from the tee and directly in
front of the green. Phil hit one of the
most prodigious wallops imaginable.
The ball cleared the trap and rolled to
the center of the green. There may
have been better drives than that, but
never expect to see finer one.
