Show I GOOD TOOLS ARE BIG AID TO GOLF PLAYER Old Adage "Club for Each Shot" Still Holds Good. Tyrus Cobb, liiilie Itutli, C!y Williams, Wil-liams, b'tulTy Mclnnls and other luminaries lumi-naries of the Imsolmll llnnument are thoroughly Hold to tho Idea that good tools ure tho most linportunt thing with all tollers, whether eurpenters, painters, ball players or bookkeeper. This Idea Is more applicable lu golfing golf-ing than any other sport, for no other sport uses tho variety of tools necon-sury necon-sury to successful golf. The motto, "A club for each shot," has never brokeu down lu winning big events and never will. Some golfers make fair score with three or four clubs, but any time you follow a senil-flntil or ft final In a big match you'll find each of the caddies cad-dies carrying a bagful of good clubs. Not long since a golfer from Chicago Chi-cago wished to go over the Klver Crest course at Fort Worth. He wag without with-out clubs and Jack Burke, thi pro there, generously turned hl bag over to the player. Just what thli mean will be understood only by a golfer, At any rate, when the golfer returned to the clubhouse after 18 holes ha went to Burke and made, him thla offer: "I'll give you $200 cnh for eight clubs from your bag." Thla, of course, was $26 per club, which Intrinsically Intrins-ically are worth from $0.50 to $9 each. Burke turned down the offer. Golfers become wedded to clubs and use them too long. They cannot mak up their minds to get a new club or to have a new shaft put In and they use the clubs long after their effectiveness effective-ness Is gone after the shafts are almost al-most In a condition of rubber. "I've gone off my mldlron" 1 commonly com-monly heard around a locker room. Sometimes this Is true, but more often the poor old shaft has been battered with shocks against hard turf until It Is of the resistance of a lead pipe. Yes, sir; good tools are the main asset of the golfer, and don't let anybody any-body fool you on that point. |
