So much so. tn fact- that he has an overwhelming amount of confidence in hi gam; confidence that would seem bombastic if . found In many players. Accuracy is a great .thing in. golf. Sweetser has It in ample quantities and so has Glenna Collett. Ther still ar those who - believe weight, and strength ar essential to distance shooting. But Hutchison and Wethered. two of the best drivers in the game, are far from being giants. Hutchison would rate as a bantam and Wethered, while tall, is a lightweight. But both ha vo mastered ' the art of timing and the. us of th wrists. One finds few : big muscled players among the champions.

A. undertook the difficult task : of "waking -a ? national handicaa list, and only those who were found capable enough were permitted to be on that list and play in tn na- uonai amateur event. , v v But the method was soon discarded becaus. it was not only too cumber some, but was more a matter or opin ion on relative merit than actual proof of the' year's growth or diminishing power In golf. The country was too large .for everybody, to be rated and so th sectional .idea grew into oeing. It has worked out well and with s further reduction in the handicap rate for eligibility will prove the saving of the championship in tha matter of mau lieiua.." . :. USED PICS STSTEM '.The plus system has been In use in Great Britain for many a day and there are ' few golfers of the older school who ever dreamed that it would be don away -with.- " Th par -of th various courses was never based upon a yardage score and a a result any one-who went round the course m i was supposed to be a scratch player. Then , th stars who went below that figure were called plus men. s With the lowering of oar on th vari ous courses through, a livening or tne ball there was reached the sam gen eral standard, with th result that plus men were as numerous as scratch, men as local clubs are here. Only plus men were permitted to enter the amateur championship a few years ago. Later, with a revision of feeling to ward golfers 'who were handicapped as high . as plus seven , and ; whose play was no better than our on or-two handicap men. there was a-violent re vision downward -: and dubs were called on to have bo men on the list who were more than plus thre. But at Prescwlck last year ther was just as many as ever, well over 250, popping around ror tne amaxetur cnampienanip event. Something had to be done, and now the powers that be have copied the system which the u. a. Q. A. started and discarded, the national han dicapping idea. TOtntKET I3f MAT i The amateur champion Holderness win be rated at scratch and there will be no plus men. With aim will be put Tolley and Wethered, : and the ether member of the international team will b rated all. the way from one to two. Those in the Isles who do not have a rating which Is as low as our eligibil ity rule, namely four, will be eligible for the amateur championship at Deal the coming May. By the way, the ama teur championship will be played tbe week -v beginning May $,'. somewhat earlier than heretofore. -' . - t , - It will be very interesting to note the effect of this syatem.

Captain Charles Clarke, Errgllshman, widely known to metropolitan golfers. Is to succeed Oene Sarasen as pro of th Highland dub in th Pittsburg dis trict. - About a. year ago Clarke leu the Engineer's club at Roslyn after two seasons servlee to locate with the Huntington, W. Va xIub, . H - won his military '"title' In th war. than has ever been present tn Britain. There are tew sectional organizations such as the Metropolitan or Massachu setts, for example, . and dubs : them selves will have to make a plea for thetr respective stars. - -,:,'-- .The younger ; element will have to make a name in local tourneys before being given a rating and while this will keep a few possible chances out of the list it cannot be helped. But tbe club's . handicapping win be aided wonderfully and we shall know more nearly the . comparative excellence of American and British golfers when the ust is published. - f - If John Jones ' at SealM-th Is tbe scratch player of his club and be is rated at four on the - national -handi capping ' list, then the members who have been rated at one to four, after this chap will ba lifted to their proper place and b handicapped at five to eight. This is one other way In which standardisation and uniformity is working out on both aides of the water. And Instead of having a great many players in the dubs satisfied if they beat the scratch score of the course, which seldom Is below 78, there will be testing v strength of par such as we have in America with a conseavent raising or tne standard of play .

To become a good golfer invalvea the consideration of correct timing, ac curacy, direction, rhythm, sensitiveness, and, above all, a keen fondness for th game.

' When this Is learned, together with the nature Of a golf bail ia flight, or. a knowledge of how far th ball will travel when it Is hit property and timed correctly, results that wilt follow- will be surprising.

The. main thing ,for any golfer is consistency ., -TBT FOB SAME BISTAITCS If you are capable of making a 200 yard drive, always strive to obtain that distance. Never press a shot. Best re sults will be obtained by playing a con sistent game, rather than pressing on one shot. . : ' ' y? !i; - A story Is told of Harry Vardon which is Incident to ' consistency, h was playing a 400-yard hole. His drive was 240 yards. When he cam up for bis second shot, and much to the sur prise of his partner, he was peeved. His explanation wast "My drive is consistently between 200 aad 210 yards, and when I drive over or short of that distance X am not so sure of my second shot," . .. -. - "t-"' - V It is unwise to put all your strength into a drive, and it is . not . necessary.
