Tuesday At The PGA: Course Firms Up, Presser Highlights And Bizarre Champions Dinner Pics

Over and over again, it has been the history of clubs in this country that where one man has been in authority, working on lines laid down by a definite plan, the course has improved wonderfully and continues to improve. It is also a noticeable fact that employees do their work better and at less cost when keeping in touch with such continued authority. Why is it that shrewd men, who recognize it is vital in their business to have a well-defined policy and demand adherence to it, sanction the very opposite action when it comes to golf club matters?

L.A. North's 10th

Regarding quality, nothing induces more to the charm of the game than perfect putting greens. Some should be large, but the majority should be of moderate size, some flat, some hillocky, one or two at an angle; but the greatest majority should have natural undulations, some more and others less undulating. It is absolutely essential that the turf should be very fine so the ball will run perfectly true.

Major(s) News & Notes, April 27, 2023

Errors in play should be severely punished in finding hazards, but now the golfer wants his bunkers raked and all the unevenness of the fairway rolled out. A player does not get the variety of stances or lies that in olden times one was sure to have. A hanging lie or a ball lying in any position other than level is a blemish to the modern golfer. The science and beauty of the game is brought out by men having to play the ball from any stance. To play the game over a flat surface without undulations leaves nothing to the ingenuity of the player, and nothing is presented but an obvious and stereotyped series of hits.
