Thf effect of the new method was to eliminate "bogey," put all players on a par basis, and make five holes Into fours. This, of course, necessi tated reformation In most of the British courses, while many players, who have been rated at scratch, now receive one or two strokes, and some players who have owed strokes find they are now at scratch. The result has been a loud pro test. Handicapping here haa been based on bogey, and bogey Is only second best. Take a hole of 450 yards. The bogey Is five and anyone worth con sidering as a player can get a five. To a real scratch player It Is a four hole It la par four. In the United States a player de scribe his form by saying he can shoot two above par, or six, or nine above par. He always Is aiming at perfection the par figure for each hole. In -this country golfers aim at bogey, and often there Is a difference, varying from two to five strokes, be tween the par and the bogey totals of a course.
