why this putting business Is a set
up," says Cunningham. II wish all
the shots in the game were as easy as
putting. Maybe then I could bust So
over this course
Inasmuch as every championship Is
decided 4 feet or less from the cup
and never has title been won that
the putter didn't figure as the major
weapon Of the winner, that's quite q
statement to make.
But Cunningham can back it
up. He is regarded by the pros
as just about the best putter in
the professional ranks around
the Capital.
He trundleS in his share of the big
ones and never misses 3-footer. Ever
since the days when Red" used to
caddie at the Washington Golf and
Country Club, along with Brick"
Wood and Mel Shorey. he's been known
as one of the best putters who ever
pulled on spiked brogan.
What do you think about when you
are trying to hole a 10-footer?" we
asked him. IF there is one thing
about putting which you use with
such success. for the love of Mike tell
US about it and we'll tell the world?"
WELL, that's not such big order"
w Red said. I'm fact there's only
one angle to it that I pay any great
attention to. I don't think Of hitting
the ball. or the position Of my feet
or anything else. but I do think lot
and pay lot Of attention to the line
of travel of my putter blade. That's
why I've had some success on the
putting green"
The blade Of my club comes
back in . straight line and con-
tinues on through in q straight
line.
''If I do that and do it all the time
I feel that I can putt about as well
as any one. Oh, sure, get little
jittery once in a while and I miss
'em, but if I concentrate on keep
ing that putter blade moving in a
straight line on the backswing and
on the forward swing I know the
ball will go where I aim it. After
that it's simply a matter of getting
the line and hitting the ball hard
enough" Sounds simple, doesn't 1t.
But you have to keep that left
elbow pointing at the hole and your
right elbow on your right thigh" says
Red. II don't have to think about
those things. They come naturally
to me after years Of practice, so all
I have to think about is to keep
that putter blade moving n straight
line. I don't either open or close
the blade. keep it moving in the
same line all the time, and I don't
let my wrists get into the shot too
much, sort of an arm motion with
fairly stiff wrists.

in this game were rs easy as the

Marshall got around the course In
