October 2 rely low scores unlikely during the National Professional Golf ‘Association's championship ment at Cedar Crest Golf Club here October 31 to November 7. The course over which an imposing | array of golfers will battle for pro crown is considered by golf archi- tects and critics one of the most dif- ficult links in the South. The addition of more than 40 new traps to the al- ready well-trapped course, the lenzth- ening of several holes and the numer- ous hazards under construction mike Cedar Crest a formidable route over which to tilt for so important a title. The links, about 10 minutes’ drive by motor car from the heart of Dal- las, lie on a beautiful site. Extending over hills, valleys and meadows, its natural hazards would cl!::u the aver- 2, olfer no little trouble. g\’ur‘nber 1 is a long par 4 hole, with traps to the right and left near the 200-yard mark to catch the erratic tee Shot. The second shot on this hole, however, is the most difficult, because the green s surrounded by traps and trees. and unerring accu- tourna- | the | racy is nece v 1o avoid trouble. The green is undulating and difficult to_putt on, Number 2 is a short niblick shot from the tee to green. hut the velvet cushion is weli trapped on both sides and the front. with woods bordering the green on the rear. It's a simple | nole, and easy to par. No. 3 Fairly Easy. An easy par 4 hole, number 3 re- quires a tee shot of around 200 yards for an open shot at the green. A slight hook is an advantage, the slice being penalized by a deep trap. The pitch to the green is an average shot. | and a smooth carpet is offered for the | accurate putter. | One.of the easiest holes on the| course is No. 4, a par 6 affair. A long | drive will put the player in position to | reach the green with an iron second. | The fairway is wide and the green is large. Deep traps to the right. a | ravine to the left and a ditch in front | are real penalties ‘for erring second | shots. Putting on this green is rather | difficult, the slope being sharp The fifth hole 1s another par 5. Two £ood wooden shots will carry to the Ereen, but they must be accurate to| avoid trouble.

The sccond shot ealls for a long iron or spoon, the third about the same, de- pending upon the direction and dis- | tance of the second. The green slopes sharply with a deep ravine in front. Putting is extremely difficult. A dog leg to the right calls for a spoon or long iron off the eleventh tee, unless the golfer desires to take a sporty chance and shoot over the trees for the green. The green is about three-quarters trapped. No. 12 is a long par 3 hole, which will call for a spoon or brassie. The green is large and level, however. the whick Barnes’ Foot Action Makes Irons Firm | The sides and Traps speck the fairway and surround all but the front of the green. A semi-dog-leg to the right makes desirable a long slice off the thirteenth tee, leaving an average pitch to a tricky green. Traps are to the right of the green, trees to the left and out- of-bounds behind. On the fourteenth, a difficult par 4. a long tee shot, if straight, will leave the golfer a strong mashie shot to the green on top of a hill, only the flag being in sight.

The second shot also must be long, for a series of traps and ditches will be_encountered. The third shot, pro viding the second is over another series of traps and trouble, is to a perfectly trapped green with only a small neck in front for an entry long mashie will reach the green. No. 17 is an easy one. The tee shot may be made with an fron, leav- ing @ short pitch to a green surround- ed by ravines.

The BY SOL. METZGER. Watching *“Long” Jim Barnes play a mashie dead to the pin at the recent United States open at Oakmont, I was impressed with the firmness and compactness of this shot. Jim kept his arms close to his body through the swing, and the contact was crisp and firm. lofting the ball so that when it struck the green it took firm held and stopped xdead within two feet of where it landed. Barnes dees not worry about his foet action om this shot, though it is the most marked part of it. He lets his teet take care of them- selves, paying his attention to his pivot and swing. He takes his club back low at an even pace and stops when he Comes to the top. On a three-quarters mashie, the shot I saw him play so perfectly, he stops when he has gone back as far as he can without bending the left arm.
