But they were thinking it. Yeét this year was the most sati c factory of my entire career, the big onsideration, naturally, being the winning of the British championship. | It.was the culmination of a pursuit that began six years back and that had been followed patiently, sometimes under discouraging circumstances. The detalls are rather too recent to call for any extended comment. I was fortunate enough to arrive on the gcene as I was coming to the top of my game, and then, too, I guess it was my time. 1 got off to a good start, and except for somo erratic putting in my third round, I played fine golf-—as good, circumstances and conditions all considered, as 1 ever have in any champlonship. I know I was hitting my shots quite as well as ever, and the physical strain both no more than it did in my first try for the natfonal champion- ship in this country 13 years ago. Youngsters to F Much these d. is belng said and written about the brilllaut young player me of them on the under side of 20, and if we consider the big amateur champlonships over here, the actual returns show that the young- sters are having the call. Last vear at Oakmont, for instance, of the semi- finalists one was 20, another 21, a third 24, and the fourth 25. Yet, John Ball, one of England’s greatest ama- teurs in his day, if indeed not the very greatest, won his first championship at 25, and 24 years later won another, having incidentally won it six more times in the interim. In the 1924 British open champion- ship, had the championship been de- ip_until a few years he first two rounds as qualifyingrounds and drop- ping all below next two, J. H. lor would have h the title b Insteud, of course, six rounds all were two as qualifying and then an e four for the cham pionship proper. In the qualif rounds Taylor had 142, s first rounds in the actual champlonship totaled 159, which would have given him a grand total of 201.

A friend recently repeated part of a conversation that took place between Bobby Jones and an eclderly well- wisher at the open championship at Worcester. This gentleman wanted o know of Bobby whether he re- laxed his grip with his right hand at he top of the backswing. Hene is Bobby's _unswer, quoted verbatim “Mister, I couldn't tell you If you gave me a thousand dollars." The main thing in playing golf is to hit the ball, and most of us can't do two things at a time. We lave to | think of what we are doing, if we are to to it at all well. Hitting a golf ball is no different in this respect driving an automobile, carving a tur- key and so on. If we are going to hit it right, we have to think of hit- Of course, there are preliminary steps, such as taking hold of the club right, placing the feet properly. turning the body and so on, But we can't think of all of these while we are actually swinging the club.
