One of the peculiarities of the golf swing is that the orter the shot the harder it is to wait for the clubhead to su MacDonald Smith no doubt observed this; so to make sure of giving his putter enough time he adopted a. cure all by ectuall stopping his putter at the end of his back swing, then letting it swing for- forward. A lot of players could improve their putting by this method. The idea could be carried into the shots through the green, too, with most golfers, because of two evils, stopping the clubhead an in- stant at the top of the back swing would be the lesser. Most players start down too quickly. The clubhead must have time to turn and start back with rhythm. There is far less danger, ordinarily, of taking too much time at the turn. The common fault among golfers is that they take too little. Don't be afraid to lean to the side of “too much time at the turn.” Chances are vou will not damage Your game a bit by doing so.

GOLF ENTRIES WILL CLOSE MAY 24 Entries for the championship of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, the next big tournament around Wash- ington, close May 24, with W. R. McCallum, secreta of the asso- ciation. Entrles should be accom- panied by a certified club handicap and the $3 entrance fee charged by the assoclation. The tournament starts on May 26 and will be con- cluded May 29. The qualifying round in the Chevy Chase tourney played by Gen. Charles G. Treat, one of the steadiest players of the host club, offers a good example of the uncertainty of such medal play affairs. Gen. Treat, whose usual score is down in the low 80s, took 96 strokes to get around the Chevy Chase course, taking a 9 on the sixteenth hole, where he was in the ditch twice. Gen. Treat usually plays with but three clubs. During the medal round he added two more to his kit. Strangers to the kinks of Washing- ton Golf and Country Club will find in the eleventh hole at the Virginia course a real water hole, on which ruction was begun only a few ago. The hole js a 130-yard af- surrounded on two sides by a ditch and on the other two sides by bunkers. Under the direction of the greens committee a genuine lake is | being built in front of the green, 20 feet wide, running the full width of the green, and shallow enough so a ball may be recovered with a mini- mum_of lost time. Chairman Mc- Clenahan belleves the shallow lake will speed up play on the hole by eliminating hunting for balls in the guarding ditch. The middle Atlantic championship will be played on the Washington course on May 26, 27, 28 and 29. Two new records for Washington golf courses have been set during the past week. The most spectacular of the records was set by George J. Voigt of Bannockburn, the District amateur champion, when he hung up a new official mark for the Chevy Chase course with a 69 during the qualifying round of the Chevy Chase tourney. The same day, over at Washington, Dave Thomson, the home club pro, established a new low mark of 67 for the Washington course, Both marks are likely to stand for some time. Lower scores than Voigt's 69 have been made by other players, but not in medal play competition. Thomson's mark is the best ever made on the present Wash- ington Golf and Country Club course by any player. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Weather Kind to Griffs This Season : Record Books C., MONDAY, .
