English sports scribes delight in roll

18-hole matches in the national anna

Mcleod has a different idea about It,.
Far from conceding that guy who
can win in SO holes shouldn't also
win in l8 holes, Fred is sturdy de-
fender of the 18-hole match method
of playing the amateur title tourney.
He doesn't believe bit in the wall
of the losers in the 18-hole match
play rounds as indicative of what
might happen over the 36-hole route.
Eighteen holes is round OF golf
isn't it?" the little Columbia Scot asks.
Therefore why stretch it out so the
bows can loaf through morning
round and then tighten up in the
afternoon. Perhaps in the semi-final
and final of big tournament they
should play more than l8 holes, but
for the earlier rounds l8 holes are
enough.
