Bill Hardy, assistant pro at Chevy
Chase, was musipg over local golf and
golfers. Why right here at Chevy
Chase we are only 20 minutes or less
from downtown, and If we get the
green light all the way we can make it
in IS minutes. Yep, the boys who play
around Washington sure have break
in the matter of time-saving. And they
have good courses, too. Why many q
time I've seen one OF our members
play a full round and still get back in

Lucky? I'll say they are. Take
the boys who work in downtown New
York. They belong to a golf club To-
Gated up in Westchester County or out
on Long Island, 25 miles or more away
Take the Garden City Golf Club, one
of the best known, which is 81 miles
from Broadway. It's matter of so
minutes or more on a fast train, a 10
minute walk to the club and those are
fast trains, too, and it's the same
going back.
Six Hours for Golf Round
IN ALL you have to figure it takes
around five and a half or six hours
to do round of golf with few high
balls thrown in at the end
Around Chicago it's the same way.
To get piece Of ground for a golf
course and still keep down to reason
able taxes they have to go away out in
the country where it takes the better
part of an hour to get. Six hours is
about the time allowed for a round
of golf around Chicago, counting in the
travelling time to the club and back.
And you can do it in four easily around
Washington. even at the outlying clubs
like Manor and Congressional.

4 4 foot ball teams change from
rabbits to snarling bulldogs. You
know the old yarn of the under dog
putting on a scrapping finish to whip
the stronger pup. Well, inspiration
has its moments in golf, too.
Tall, lanky Byron Nelson, the 25-
year-old Texas kid, 3-putted the
sixth green in the final round of the
masters tournament here yesterday
Tough luck Byron" said Witty Cox,
his playing partner. 1t put the kid

a slim lead blasted to bits by the
links magic of Ralph Guldahl, the
hump-backed guy from st. Louis.
THAT was too bad, Byron, but you've
got lot of holes to make it up"
Witty said.
"Oh, don't care much" said Mel

Guldahl, two holes in front, with nine
to go.
His second shot on the tenth. tor
tuous 430-yard stretch, deep down in
, the dripping pine woods, left him a
4O-foot downhill putt. He knocked
| 1t in for a bird 3, and inspiration
rose up and kissed him. From that
point on the Texas kid was one Of
those cyclones that sweep across his
native plains, the imperturbable mas
ter who could do nothing wrong
He played the first four holes of
that nine in under par, bagging
<Wo birds and an eagle and picking up
six shots on Guldahl, who cracked
wide open via the water hazard
route at the twelfth and thirteenth,
when all he had to do was coast in.

Care Needed in Scoring Zone.

" \ ND we'd all improve if we'd get
acquainted with our pitching
clubs and our short irons instead Of
spending so much time with the dis
tance clubs. That goes for me, too.
When you figure that the real scoring
zone starts about l25 yards from the
cup and look over the shots that are
wasted in that zone you can see what
I mean. If a guy is hitting the green
from 125 yards all the time and get
ting down in two puts or less he's
going to be hard o lick.
'He can top tee shot, or miss a
second shot once in a while, but when
he gets in the scoring zone if he gets
down in three shots or less all the
time he'll be ranked as tough hombre
And that goes for every one. Spend
some time on the practice tee, but
spend it intelligently. Take up the
short game first and work down to
the driver instead of up to the putter.
And don't go at it too hard at first.
After all, golf is leisurely game and
you don't have to hurry"

Successful Tournament.

VOUR Mr.. Lord Byron Nelson of
= Texas is quite golfer. He finished
with 283, which happens to be one
shot above the tournament record,
and he played most of that last round
in a rain and wind storm which almost
caused postponement of the tourna-
ment. He also collected l,500 bucks
for his effort, making the tournament
an inspirational artistic and financial
success all because of one putt-on
the tenth green.
It all goes to prove the eternal fitness
Of things, even in such screWy game
as golf. For Nelson led right off the
bat, opening the tournament with
66. He also led at the halfway mark,
but he slumped back to mediocre
rs on the third round and started the
final furlong four shots behind
Guldahl His win here pushed his
winnings since January on up to
S2,812, which is not so bad for a
young guy trying to get along. He
whacks that ball long, long way.
He was plenty out in front of Witty
Cox most of the way and that, as the
boys in suite B will declare, is hitting
'em out there
Just to clean up the horrid details
Of the Jones tournament, Bob Jones,
the host and the guy boys try to lick,
wound up in twenty-fourth place,
which is jump from the thirty-third
spot he occupied last year They have
to give Bob something for trying. The
big Cox man, bothered by few missed
puts and couple of penalty shots in
water hazards, finished all alone in
twelfth position to pick up century.
It'll pay the hotel bill anyhow.
Witty had last round of 76 for
total of 295, 10 shots behind Guldahls
second-place effort. Ed Dudley, the
smooth swinger and lousy putter,
wound up with 286 for third money,
and Harry Cooper, the book favorite,
was fourth with 287.

YOU won't often find moments of

tournament where everything clicks

Guldahl looked to be breeze. He
could have been out in 38 and had

But at that short twelfth, $50 yards
over a brimming water hazard, Gull
dahl tossed the tournament into the
drink. He found the water from the

verse turn of fate, he again went into
the water on the par 5 thirteenth,
losing three shots to par on this
stretch.
1t must have been sweet music to
Nelson's ears when they told him
Guldahl had gone S, 6 on those holes.
He canned a 15-foot putt for deuce
on the twelfth, leaving him only shot
back of Guldahl Then he took the
big shot on the thirteenth, hitting the
edge of the green in on this par 5
hole. And he Clipped it in for the
eagle 8. The golf tournament was
about over, If he could hold on. And
hold on he did. He 3-putted the

Morris, Don Elser, burly Notre Dame

and others who added their color and
ability to the 1886 event.
The field is wide open, and unless
some youngster bobs up as unob-
