Show GOLF GAME IS MADE HARD BY INVENTORS Players Become Quite Discouraged Discour-aged on Putting Green, So Many Different Putters on Market That It Is Difficult to Satisfy Everyone Straight Blade Is Disappearing. "When will the Inventors stop making mak-ing it difficult for the great mass of golfers by inventing new kinds of putters?" put-ters?" asked a golfer who admits having hav-ing six and not being able to use any of them effectively. There is no department of the game where one is apt to become discouraged discour-aged so much as on the putting green. If you are putting badly the first thought is to get a different kind of putter. This is the answer to why there are so many various makes on the market and the club that will satisfy sat-isfy everyone Is yet to be Invented. Golfers are gradually working around to the club with the aluminum head, shaped something like a driver. The old straight blade is disappearing from the links, although quite a few-good few-good golfers still stick to the idea for no other reason than it was this club that they started with and a change might throw them off. Don't get one of these thin blades that is likely to cut under the ball aud put a sort of a back spin on it or enough of a spin to cause a drag. You will find that your ball is often short of the hole with this putter. A straight blade made like the old brass putter Is dangerous on the modern green because be-cause one is so likely to cut the ball, producing a hook or slice. There are putters with the weight on bottom and others with the weight at the top. Each inventor claims his idea of the distribution of the weight is the best. A relic of 20 years ago Is the putter built like a croquet mallet. Another old-timer is the putter that looks like one of the rockers on a rocking rock-ing chair. The inventor claims that any sort of a line can be had with this club. Putters in the old days, made long and narrow, were queer looking affairs. |
