Show BOBBY JONES MAY ' CHANGE HIS MIND 1 ' - I Thought Likely He Will Go to England to Defend . Title. i It Is likely that Hobby Jones will J change his mind concerning the T.VJ7 I British open championship. The fact i that the meeting is to bo held on the old course of St. Andrews may cause Bobby to give way to one of I hose ini- ! pulses of which lie is capable. Bobby says many of the America a courses can be pk'yed correctly, ' but at St. Andrews the course is broad ami open, and the rough is distant, and the fairways confront you in almost every direction. The greens are hug, v 4 BobbyJone5 4 UlL. ki And with all that and with almost all the visible to shoot into, you may plume yourself on any round of 72 to 75, which falls to your fortune there. From tee after tee you are offered of-fered about all the real estate you can cover for your drive. But you would better place that drive with some thought and exactness or your second shot will be a terror. "The fourteenth hole at St. Andrews, An-drews, for instance, I think perhaps the finest on the course, may be played four different ways, all correct and widely at variance, according to the wind. And the wind is a worthy foe. It is just as likely to oppose you all the way out and turn as you turn an 1 battle you all the way back. Or it may follow you around the enlire horseshoe. You must use somelhin ; beside shots and clubs playing at St. Andrews. I . can learn more golf in a week on that course than in a year on many a sterling championship test in America." "Bobby,- therefore, with the prospect of defending his title at St. Andrews,' may show himself "human" enough ': to return and take Ills chances there. j. |
