BY BOBBY JONES, The only man who ever held the American Amateur and Open Cham- pionships and British Amateur and Open Championship in one year. UTTING tips or hints are plenti- ful and easy to come by, for at one time or another every golfer has “discovered” the secret o(‘ good putting, and, in the expanding fullness of his joyous heart, he, has made it his duty to enlighten all within | the reach of his voice. Most average | golfers are willing to admit that they know nothing about playing a long iron shot or a delicate pitch, but a lot of them ‘“can putt with any one.” And always his method is the only one and | must be followed in every detal. i It is perfectly true that any xol!er] starting out has a better chance to be- | come expert with his putter than with | any other club. The mechanics are| simple and there is a greater latitude | here for individual expression and the | accommodation of physical differences. | I do not believe in prescribing the | putting stroke in a perfectly definite | inflexible way. I think it is better to define a general purpose, leaving to the | 0| individual the business of accomplish- | { |ing it according to his own ideas. | Bevniys & JRUT here is a putting plan which has | | Bldege! k. { never failed to help bring my | | Bullivan, 0 : putting back to form when it has | $Gass, | gone cff, and, so far as I know, has| s el __ | never failed to help other people who | Totais. .50 have tried it It has the virtues of | | iBatted for P.

In 9 cases out of 10, the player diffuses his effort. He fails to conclude the operation of deciding upon the line before he begins to swing the club. Let him do one thing at a time and finish and dismiss one detail before he busies himself with another. CCURATE striking of the ball is the first necessity, for without it the most exact appraisement of slope and speed will count for nothing. Most bad putts are indecisively struck and the indecision comes from the con- fusion in the player’s mind, when he at- tempts to execute the stroke before he has decided what he wants to do. He cannot expect to strike the ball truly when he is uncertain of the correct line or, when he is worrying about irregu- larities in the green. These things are the cause of looking up, flinching, jab- bing, and almost everything else that can be done to spoil the putt. Once the line has been selected, that is the end of that; the next thing is to hit the ball, not in the general direction of e hole with more hope than assur- ance, but to the exact spot which has been selected, be it right or wrong. I feel some little hesitancy in stress- ing this as a plan at all, because it is S0 obviously the logical procedure. Many players will no doubt insist that this is what they always do, when as a matter of fact their methods are a good deal more haphazard. I only ask that they play a few rounds, making sure on ‘each green that they follow this procedure to the letter. I have never known it to fail to hel (Copyright, 1933.) Improve vour putting.
