ro rs foe . ui ED { 8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1922 GOLF GOSSIP Edited by EVERETT WILSON A well known golf professional was asked recently the reason for "begin- ner's luck" on the links. While his immediate answer is probably not to be taken too seriously, he has un- doubtedly hit home for many cases. "The trouble with many players just starting the game is too much advice," he said. "Golf is a game of skill. Every stroke must be timed and the length of each stroke must be calcu- lated. The beginner is dazzled with the complexity of the game and be- wildered with the unknown. And how solicitous kis friends are! Tips come hard and fast. Every player of his acquaintance starts to give advice, little secrets of the game. "The first round is usually pretty poor; the second eighteen is a little better. Then the game improves, un- til the "friends" commence their work. Five or six better methods of holding the club, or teeing a ball, or slicing remedies pour forth. With this huge stock of knowledge the novice sets forth. As one new tip fails, he tries another and another and another. Soon he has lost the little precision which he might have gained by chang- ing every few strokes. His game will stay poor then, unless one set of tips proves worth while. "My advice to the beginner is to start out with a player who knows a little more about the game than the average player and to stick to the sug- gestions given him by the first teacher, until a man whom he knows to be de- pendable comes along with more in- struction. This constant changing has been the ruin of many a good player's game and has delayed many a novice for months in his progress. A club professional, if available, should be employed for the first few rounds, but any good player who knows the game will do." Skokie members competed in the qualifying round of the Feur Towns cup last Saturday. S. L. Williams, in the Glencoe Match, was low Qualifier with a card of 34-11-73. Several play- ers finished with net cards under this mark, but started with a larger hand- icap. D. S. Stilling, Wilmette, turned in 96-25-71 and J. C. Honing, Win- netka, was marked down for 91-20-71. The first round will be played this week. Interest in the National Open to be held at Skokie July 5-15 is growing each day. Several officials and vis- iting professionals have played over the course and have pronounced it to be in excellent shape. Phil Gaudin, professional, assures the golf world that the appearance of Brown Spot in small patches has been cared for and that the course is none the worse, but improving daily with ideal weather. Glencoe residents who can care for Yisiting players and guests are asked to notify the club as early as possible in order that arrangements may be completed. * * ES * * R. H.

Liners to the Orient have top deck greens, and, to assure the players that the balls will not roll into the deep blue, strings are cleverly attached to the spheres. * * EY ES * Students at Northwestern university are worse than ground squirrels these s "Service With a Smile" A Modern Garage using Modern methods : equipments, : and thoroughly equipped to give absolute--- 'Service with a Smile' HUBBARD WOODS GARAGE 1010 NORTH AVENUE HUBBARD WOODS Phone Winnetka 617 days when it comes to digging holes in the sod. Every grassy spot near the men's quadrangle has been turned into a putting green and passersby have to keep their heads up to avoid pellets from the clubs of students who practice driving from the observatory | to the water works. Many claim that | they are able to steady their shots by practicing in patented cages which the athletic department furnished this spring. The Evanston community course offers an opportunity for a large number of student golfers to play between study hours.
