 There are plain golfers and great golfers. The former seldom rise from the ranks of the divot diggsrs but the latter progress to the heights and write glowing chap ters in the game that migrated all over the world from the tliistled hills of Scotland.
 American golfers have added many great shots to gilf's history since old and young Tom Morris, Jamie Anderson, Willie Fernie, and Willie Parks popularized the game in Scotland. These shots are quali- fled to rank alongside the out standing feats of the game.
 No list of Great Golf by Amer jeans would be complete if it elim- mated Gene Sarazen's dramatic shot out of No IS trap at Fresh Meadows to set record round of 66 in the 1882 National oOpen
 The swarthy Gene had turned in an amazing 32 during the first round of the finals; and was out in front by a comfortable margin. However, he realized that the first sign of let up would cause him to push and his game would break.
 Coming into the last hole, Sara zen was handicapped by one of the most unruly crowds ever to witness an Open. Then, too, he was visibly nervous at the prospect of setting a record round.
 The crowd milled around the 18th as Gene's approach found the trap on the right side of the green. Gendarmes had difficulty in keep ing order, and both Sarazen and his partner, Willie Klein, had difi- culty getting through to their balls.
 True Test of Champion
 Finally. in position to shoot, Gene found himself with only a narrow strip of green to recover on. Steling himself against the nerve-shattering clamor of the crowd and selecting heavy nib lick. he calmly hoisted the ball out of the trap and it rolled to within four feet of the pin. t
 With a record 66 within his grasp. he controlled an advance of the jitters. popped the ball with his butter. and 1t dropped home.
 That was a Great demonstration of Great golf under a Great hand icap!
 Most hole-in-one shots are pure luck, but when a great profession be sure there Is a lot of calculat- ing going on in his mind which, combined with luck, makes the shot possible.
 Paul Runyan. the diminutive pro, made hole in one during the 1881 Phoenix Open that ranks with the greatest shots in golf.
 It was on the 17th hole and Runyan needed a good finish to bring him up with the leaders at the end of the second round. Here's how Runyan explains 1t:
 "The 17th was doubly difficult. due to strong following wind, which made it hard to carry the guarding traps and still hold the green.
 T decided to use my spoon, put ting little cut on the shot which enables the ball to gain altitude and at the same time causes it to stop more quickly on the green.
 VI teed the ball. took my stance, struck the ball high into the air, and watched 1t sail for the pin. Tn 1t went-and was so excited about that ace that three-putted on the last green"

 Great Shot of Great Jones
 One of Bobby Jones' greatest shots came during the National Open at Winged Foot in 1929. Bobby had waltzed around the first round in 69, and went to the final IS with a respectable lead. But he started to crack and at the eighth hole played from trap to trap to take a 2. He duplicated the per-
