THAT new larger and lighter golf
i ball is well on its way, and It won't
be long now before every one WIN
be playing it. Fred Mcleod, the Co
lumbia pro now plays it almost ex-
clusively. and believes If it is good for
him it will be good for any other golfer.
Even though Fred has not changed his
ideas regarding its lack of push through
a strong head wind he believes 1t will
perform in every other way so much
like the present ball that most golfers
will find no difference In the two
spheres.
Fred played It at Columbia yester-
day in match with Robert Stead, tr.,
of Chevy Chase, and EmmonS Smith
of Columbia, and hit the new ball 80
shot rolled over where the ditch used
to be, far down the hill. He was aided
by q quartering wind from the north
west, bat into the wind at the ninth
hole he was on the green with the new
ball with drive and 2 iron. 30
Fred thinks the new ball 10 alright,
when that can be done.
AS to the putting, where some people
have an idea the new ball Is not going
to be so good, Fred thinks 1t will make
no difference at all. He finds it just
as easy to hole 'em or miss 'em with
the new ball as it always has been
with the present type Of ball. All in
all, Freddy believes that except for the
psychological factor, most golfers will
not even realize they are playing with
the new ball when the time comes for
its compulsory adoption on January !.
