GOOD GOLF BiU KiSh

Professionals hit down on iron shots to make sure of a long follow through. This ad- vice goes for nearly all of the clubs. When we stand on a tee and have to make the ball carry over a water hazard, most all of the players tee the ball up and try to make it rise by force. In doing this the ball is nearly always topped into the water. Try to remem- Der of hitting the ball into the ground and you will find that the club will come through properly and the ball will fly swiftly and safely to the green. It is a mistake to tee up short mashie shots, be- cause it is more difficult to hit the ball in this way than it is if the ball is placed on the ground in a good spot.
 When playing for the green from a distance of anything up to 200 yards use a club that will put you on the green or over, preferably over, as there is less to fear from traps and bunkers by going over than there is fro mtrouble in front of the green. This is a good habit to get into and it has proved to be one of the main reasons for many a golf er's success. There is just as much room on the other side of the cup as there Is on the near side and often more.

GREATEST FEAT OF MAJOR GOLF
 TOURNAMENT
Brassie Shot of z5O Yards Found Cup to Score
 B at Augusta
By STUART CAMERON

Augusta, Ga, April S-OP)- Swarty Gene Sarazen and blonde Craig Wood met today in a playoff for the Augusta national golf championship, a procedure necessi- tated only because the Italian is the most unpredictable player the game has ever known.
 Standing on the 10th tee yester- day in his final round, after Woodo had finished with an aggregate of 282 Sarazen apparently had not even the remotest chance of catch ing Craig.
 Wood had come home with 34, and Gene needed a 33, three be- low par, to catch the leader.
 In the face of a biting wind and rain-soaked course, this was mo easy feat and would have failed had it not been fo rome single shot. This was probably the greatest blow ever struck in a major tour nament in America or in England. It was full brassie sent a full 250. yards, straight into the cup not for an eagle but for a double eagle. The blow came on the 18th hole, a par five with yardage of 485.
 Gone's drive was some 235 yards from the tee and in none too good position. But he asked for his his long brassie and with no de- liberation and only half waggle, sent the ball true into the cup.
 The crowd of some 2,000 which apid no heed to chilly breezes, fit- ful drizzles of rain, was divided in equal parts-half at the green and half in the fairway just be- hind Sarazen. The fairway galler- ties applauded wildly for a shot that was certainly well home, and the crowd at the green took up the cheer like an echo and then broke into frantic screaming, "lt's in"
 Sarazen was tied with Wood and coasted home on even terms. It was in 8 way, tough break for Wood. He was in the club house lobby, &C., cepting the congratulations of men he had beaten and of his wife who reminded him that this was their wedding anniversary, when news of Sarazen's double-eagle spread through the place. One of the galleryites was Bobby
 
 Jones, who yesterday completed his second annual return to competi- tive golf. Jones, whose presence makes the Augusta national top line tourney, was forced to be con- tent with an aggregate of 297. He scored a 78 in his final test played before an adoring Georgia gallery and was 15 strokes behind the leaders. This played him in a three-way tie for 25th place. Last year, when he made his first competitive test since completing his grand slam in 1880, Bobby had total of 294, tying for 18th place. He'll try again next year, he said, but will play no other competitive golf meantime.
