Scotland, we are told is the cradle of golf. | There it is said to have started, and | there it is the traditional game of the populace. Tnere, also, are fashioned many of the golf clubs which are sold ard used in this country. The trade mark, “Hand-forged in Scotland.” is looked upon as the halimark of excel- lence in iron heads, and thousands of wooden clubs come out of Scotland each | year. VeJet Davie Thomson, the popular lit- | tie professional at the Washington Golf and Country Club, took with him a kit of 17 goif clubs to Scotland, and his friends in the land of the thistle liked them so much that, one by one, he gave them away and returned a day or two ago to his post at the Virginia club without a single one of.the clubs he | took across the water early in January. “But that's all right,” Davie said, with his slow grin. “If they liked them, they were welcome to them. They may need them worse than I do. but the bad®part of it is that it will take me a couple of weeks to get used to a new set.” Well Off Here. Davie described conditions in the golf industry, as well as other industries in Scotland, as very bad. He said, “Most of the men with whom I used to work in the shop of a famous manufacturer of golf clubs are out of work today. A few of them work on the avesage six days a month, but most of them depend on the government dole for their bare living. Taxes are high, work Is scarce, and many of my old friends are barely existing from hand to mouth. The United States of America looks good to me, although they say we are in a busi- ness depression. No_ depression here, | unless the bottom falls out of every- | thing. can be as bad as the conditions | I saw in Scotland.” |” The little pro came back breathing | maledictions against British weather and climatic conditions. In the first place, the steamer on which he crossed to Scotland was held up by fog-in the ersey and he could not land on time. He "was n Scotiand 35 days, and on 33 of the days it snowed, rained or hailed. He was able to play golf only four times on -the .Montrose course, where he learned the game. One of the biggest handicaps Thom- son found to playing golf in Scotland was the attitude of the course officials regarding the rules. Winter rules, as we know them in. thi country, are un- known in Scotland, he said, and Davie put in a word or two seeking to induce the course officials to_adopt Winter rules. In Scqfland and England the old tradition of the game—"Play them as they lie"—holds good, no matter what the weather and course conditions may be. “I think they would enjoy their Winter golf better,” Dave says, “if they improved the lie of the ball in the fair- ways during the cold months.” Rained Out Four Times. The Washington profescional made four different eng>gements to play on the femous Carnoustie course, where the Brit'sh open championstip is to be played this year, but each time the ©On the fifth oc- thorities in charge closed the layout be- cause of standing water. A number of improvements by way of new tees and improved trapping are being made at Carnoustie, but the greatest worry of the course officials seems to be how they can manage the large galleries and keep out those who do not pay an entry fee. Carnoustie is a public course near the beach, and is not fenced. The officials found that to fence the course to keep out people who do not pay an entry fee would cost a prohibitive amount, and they are at their wits' end as to how to collect the fee of 60 cents each day which will be levied to see the cham- pionsbip. If this country sends over a strong group of golfers, it may become a real problem, although Bobby Jones probably will not defepd his British open title. Carnoustie is the home of the Smith brothers—not the cough-drop variety, either—but the kind who say it with flying golf balls and who have won champlonships with them. The late Alex Smith, MacDonald Smith and Willie Smith all came from Carnoustie. Davie is pertectly well satisfied to be back in the land of the free and the home of the courageous golfers, where we have to play a new-type ball be- cause some group tells us to do it. Brit- ain, he says, is not taking at all kindly to the new bigger and lighter ball, and there has been no intimation from the Royal and Ancient that it will follow the American lead. The members of the British Ryder Cup team are practicing with the American standard sphere, but it probably will not be adopted officially for British play.
