A. W. Herron of Pittsburg, father of
Dave Herron, national amateur golf
champion in 1919, is visiting in Pine
hurst, and announces that Dave will go
to England this year to participate in
the British amateur championship. He
said that W. C. Fownes, who is organiz
ing the American amateur team for the
British invasion, told him he felt certain
of having Chick Evans, Francis Ouimet,
and Bobby Jones in the party.
Twelve of Pinehurst 's first-rate golf
ers engaged in a putting carnival on one
of the practice greens on. Monday last,
and, although it would seem improbable,
103 putts were made before any member
of the contest scored a "one. " Four
professionals were in the line-up, along
with such skillful ones as Lou Hamilton,
B. V. Covert and others.
Why ig it that so many golfers arc
able to get their tee shots over the bunk
ers at the sixteenth hole on Number 2
course, but very often fail to get over
the traps at the seventeenth, which is
not nearly so far from the tee? One
reason is that a wrong club is used.
Players overestimate in selecting the club
to be used. Remember that far more
three's are made from the far-side than
the near-side of a green.
