Everything hung on that putt. I
wouldn't let myself think of what it
meant to me. Do you know, Hugh,
what I was thinking of? I remem-
bered a story I'd heard in the locker
room the night before-the one
about the duffer who had a new
caddie. You've heard that-how he
kept telling his caddie to pick up
those divots, and when they got
back to the clubhouse the caddie
turned the buffers bag upside down
and, looking very seriously, as grass
chunks tumbled out, said, Here
are your divots, boss, but what I
want to know is what you are 60
ing to do with them?"
That made me laugh as thought
of it. / wasn't tight and grim, and
so it was a simple matter to sink
that eight-fOoter and win the Open
crown that I'd been aiming for since
1915.
Everybody thinks that was my
greatest golfng thrill. But it wasn't.
There have been a lot of them
and disappointments, too. But the
biggest thrill of all-but wait mo-
ment, let me tell you of some of
the higher moments.
Playing in my first open at Inver-
ness in 1920-it was the first for
Jones, Sarazen and Diegel, too. I've
been in every one since then, but
I've never felt the same thrill as
when I walked up to that first tee
at Toledo =. Qualifying in my
first British Open-at TrOon in Scot.
land in 1922. That was the worst
storm I've ever played in, and the
gales were bowling around my head
at about ninety miles an hour. Sar-
azen, who was National Open cham
pion at the time; Long Jim Barnes
and inimitable Harry VardOn all
failed to make the grade in the
teeth of those clustering winds
Riding up Fifth avenue on my re-
turn from Chicago, after winning
the Open, in an open car with jim
my Walker, who had greeted me at
City hall.
Those are only some of them. The
greatest of all, though, was in win
ming the $4,000 first prize at La
Gorce in Florida in the winter of
1928. I was way back going into
that last round. I was the last
man in and I knew what I had to
get to win. And on that stiff par Y
course I turned in a 30-33-63, nine
strokes under par, to take that
prize-the biggest in tournament
history-by single stroke. That
was the greatest round of golf I've
ever played in my life.
There have been disappointments,
of course-times when it all didn't
seem worth the work. But looking
back down the years, 1 have no re-
grets. Golf has been good to me.
I've seen the world. I've made a
comfortable living. I've played golf
in Berlin, France, Ireland and
Honolulu. I've played in forty-two
of the forty-eight states.
They ask me what's the answer to
my failure to win now. That's easy,
too. I haven't got the incentive.
I've got a swell job at Baltusrol;
I was married in 1881 and I've got
three chubby youngsters growing
up, who I think are going to be
fine golfers, too.

I've told myself to keep smiling.
For I think that's the answer to

you're able to keep your club in
