Sometimes when vou wish to sacrifice distance and not use an iron it is all right to choke a wooden club. should sa regular habit. All iron clubs should be choked in some degree. Even a full iron shot should not find the golfer gripping his club at the very end of the shaft. The more you choke a club, the shorter the shot will become. With some people this choking increases accuracy, and they hold their clubs at the bottom of the leather in mak- ing short chip shots on the edge of the green. Using the correct club will prevent your having to do any excessive choking; that is, instead of choking a mashie heavily to get a sherter distance and more height, use a niblick.

R. Gates, counselor of the West- orn Golf Association. As an evidence of this soclal condition, he today cited the instance of the Glencoe public links, built by the rich men of that suburb for the use of those who can- not afford to belong to private golf clubs. “There is nothing patronizing about the furnishing of this golf links for those who have meager funds” he said. “We have learned from yvears of ‘experience that golf builds not only health of hody but uprightness of mind and purity of the moral side of man. Every citizen is worthy as a neighbor If he plays golf, for many years of study have shown that the game has something in it that irons out “any native tendoney to be crooked “Nover has a true golfer been Known to turn to theft, thuggery or other crime. A few persons of warp- ed morals have tuken up golf with the deliberate Intention of preving on golfers, but they are not golfers. These were merely’ moral wolves in the clothing of the links, and they s0on dread the game, cxcept for a few, who were inspired by the nature of golf to turn from their unholy ways and become gentlemen.” TRIO OF CALIFORNIA TEAMS COMING EAST April 25—Uni- v of California athletic teams— tennis andy golf—will be eust {o enter national collegiate petitions.

J., with one of our members, Mr. L. C. Wallick. It was accomplished in trying to show Mr. Wallick how the ball should be hit to get it out of an unuswally difficult lie. 1 were instructing any man in the art of golf, I surely would not choose this play for a demonstration. It would not be possible to dupli- cate the success [ had on this occasion with any degree of regularity. My partner and I were approaching the green of the 378-yard fourth hole at Englewood when my second ehot went into a big ditch which lies to the left. We found the ball in water close to the bank farthest from the a distanco of twenty yards from the pin, I should say. we were playing a “friendly game" 1 was going to pick out and take a penalty stroke when Mr. Wallick spoke up. ““What would you de in a case like that if_you were in & real match? he asked. “Well, if T threw out it would cost me |a stroke,” I replied, “and if I tried to against | play out I might fail. One would act according to the situation at the time— “Let's see how you'd play that ball,” he countered, “THE T RUTH He had given me a tough problem. Be- cause of the position of the ball 1 had to stand with my left foot in the water and my right much higher up, on the bank. The latter was 50 steep that I couldn't take a back stroke. I had to lift my club above my head, chop down behind the ball and then bring up with all the quickness I could muster. Using my niblick, with the blade laid well back, I almost holed out. An additional roll of three inches and I would have found the cup. z The satisfaction this stroke gave me was due (o the fact that 1 had been re- quested to demonstrate how it should be made, and had worked out the diffi- cult proposition perfectly. Surely the best play one can make s that 'one executed according to the specifications of another person under really adverse conditions.
