nNE Of COILS miracle shots has t,ast
~ been accomplished by Luther g. !,
Steward IT., the Congressional
youngster who held the club title last
year and was runner-up for the cham.
pionship this year. Steward scored an
eagle deuce on the 4D0-yard eleventh
Mole at Congressional by the simple
process cffpoling out lengthy tee shot
and then knocking the ball right into
the cup with a spade masfie. - r
This phenomenal shot enabled him to
get around the course in II strokes, the
lowest mark he ever has made and one
OF the finest scores recorded by an
amateur since the new tenth and elev-
enth holes were put into play. He had
three brides and an eagle In the score. :
the brides coming on the eighth, thir.
tenth and eighteenth. ''''sr
The eleventh hole Is dog-leg affair,
curving to the left Steward had q
hooked tee shot, which ended in the
rough at the left. From that spot he
played q spade mashie shot, which cut
across the corner OF the old quarry, hit
on the green and rolled into the cup.
Steward has the habit Of doing these
unusual things on the golf course. It
hasn't been SO long ago that he holed
a full iron shot for a on the par s.
fifth hole at Congressional But on
that occasion he didn't score IT, His
latest stunt was big help In scoring
so low. for II Is q stroke better than
par for the course and has only been
bettered few times : -
Charlie Penna, caddie- master at Con. !
gressional, Is all enthused because M
has a new swing which he claims
knocks the ball mile and straight
as q string" Charlie will be leaving
the club next week to spend few
days around New York before he leaves
for the South, where he Is caddie- mas
ter at Tommy ArmosIf's Boca Ration
Club. Charlie will remain with Ar.
mour next year, and will not be at Con-
gressional. ~ "A la4t
