PENAlTYSTR0KE
IN ROUGH |SST|FF
Stone Offers Ideas on How
to Make Sport Easier for
Short HitterS.
BY w, r, McCALLUM.

.A AXE the play away from the
long slugger and give the
shorter hitter equal scoring
= opportunity. That's the slogan
of William r. Stone. Washington busi-
ness man and golfer, whose radical
proposals for a major league OF pro-
fessional golfers were made public
several days ago.
Declaring that "the need is not to
eoualize scoring, but to equalize op-
portunities for scoring" Stone an
nounces today new plan for making
the game of golf easier for the short
hitters and harder for the Sluggers.
His plan is based partly on the eco
nomic theory that if golf and country
clubs are to thrive they must cater
largely to middle -aged men, and that
if the game is made easier clubs will
retain that vast transitory member
ship of discouraged players whose
steady stream of designations Is UNDER
mining country club development, due
solely to the disparity in scoring as
golf is played today"
Penalty for WiIdness Severe.
THE Stone scheme proposes a
l. scientific" system for standardiza-
ton and regulation of course construc-
ton to reward the long. straight drive
and penalize the wild. inaccurate drive.
Golf courses would be Of II holes in
stead of l8, but the most radical OF
the changes proposed by Stone would
penaliZe severely the man who hits
'em into the rough. This gent would
entail a penalty of one stroke and
would be required to play the ball
where it lay And would that put a
premium on straight and accurate hit
ting? We'd see American golfers con-
verted from a Nation of sluggers to a
flock of men driving with spoons and
irons from the tee Personally We
think that part of the scheme is a
little goofy. The real solution is to
let the rough grow thick and heavy,
so a shot off the fairway really is
penalized. And on courses with
watered fairways the rough also should
be watered to encourage it to grow.
Such heavy rough would stop the big
boys from slamming the ball as far
as they please. knowing they'll get a
good lie somewhere in the rough. They
wouldn't be so reckless If the rough
was tough.
