yet to whip? Our judgment Is that
AL worries too much about the four
foot puts when piece of dough
hangs on the result, and that he is
too prone to let outside factors bother
him. His concentration is not good
enough under pressure, in other
words, and 1t results in a few missed
puts that shoot the score up. Cham
pionships are won feet from the
hole, and when you start missing
the wee ones there isn't much hope.
He will take an occasional beating
from the boys around Washington.
but today Al Houghton is the finest
golfer among the professional brigade
around this town or Baltimore. But
put him up in the major leagues
and he fails to shoot his true game.
Why? We think it is too much
imagina tion, not enough concentra-
ton and perhaps little bit of trying
too hard.
Houghton is apt to let conversation
jar him from his straight-shooting
groove. Not long ago he was playing
at Washington with Bob Barnett for
the usual IS and IS. AL had gone
along even par to the sixth. where he
missed wee one and went down to
Bob. Now. Barnett always has been
abl. to talk like Dutch uncle to
Houghton and throw him off stride

tee and the darned thing broke Gee, I"

A LITTLE more conversation, a lit
~ tie more good-natured joshing
and Al came home with n, q
badly beaten golfer. Not that Bob de-
liberately set out to get the Houghton
goat, for he never does that in any
golf match. But the story simply
illustrates why AL isn't going to win
any major golf tournaments until he
forgets outside influences and begins
to concentrate on getting that ball into
the cup to the exclusion of all other
things.
Al Houghton is a very fine golfer, a
man who should win more than he
does win and one who rates a spot
among the first two dozen pros in this
country. If he could shut out those
outside thoughts, forget what a short
putt may mean and 60 on and make
'em he would win a lot of dough and
make his backer-Whitey Price-a lit
tie dividend on the gamble Price took
when he offered to back him in golf
affairs. Houghton has gone to Mas
sau with the rest of the professional
troupers, and he may win a slice of
that $1,000 prize money.

M Houghton in the closing
v v rounds of major golf
tournament? Why does
the Kenwood Kleagle toss away his
chances over the last few holes Of
the big tournaments? We have been
asked that question frequently by
admirers of the Houghton man, by
men who know that Al is as good a
golfer from tee to green as most Of
the top-notchers.
From where we sit it seems that
AL Houghton, normally a good putter
and a very fine putter in friendly
matches, gets himself an armful of
putter trouble in the big affairs; that
the trouble" if there is any, is men,
tai, and that AL will not win a big
tournament until he begins to take
'em all in stride and to forget the
pot of gold that hangs at the end
of 70 holes. In other words. in our
opinion land it is shared by others)
AL hasn't gone far enough along the
competitive trail to become calloused
to the big dough. and thereby to
forget it to the point where he can
shut out the memory of what missed
putt or two may mean.
