CanapiaAn GoLrer — August, 1937 As Things Progressed Comment on Canadian Amateur Matchesat the Ottawa Hunt Club UTof a field numbering close to 100 the 1937 Canadian amateur championship got under way at the Ottawa Hunt Club this year without any particularly remarkable feature. Everyone knew that Somerville, the indomitable Sandy, would be a grim opponent from the beginning. The Londoner, out to show experts that he was a long ways from being through as being a top-flight player, had won practically every event in which he had enteredthis year. On the other hand there was the tall spectral figure of , New Orleans youngster, who last year defeated Sandy in the Semi-finals at St. Charles in Winnipeg. Arriving by means of a great yellow plane the day after a number of us had already been relegated to the sidelines, Haas, who has received a first round bye, ap- peared immaculately attired to give the tourna- ment its first real taste of fireworks, but that story comes a bit later. The American entry while not as great nor possessing as many name players as in the past did not much interfere with the class of the field. Any amateur golfer in the world would have foundthe alone tough enough opposition. First round matches were played in ideal con- ditions which continued throughout the week in sharp contrast to the weather on Monday which saw the playing of the eleventh Willingdon Cup Matches over the same course. On Tuesday some of the chaff had been weeded from the field and 64 players remained for the second round. Most ot the leading players in the field were given byes on Tuesday. The second round on Wednesday saw everyone swing into action. There was not an up- set in the field of major or serious importnace. Perhaps the closest approach to such an event was the victory of TommyRiddell , formerly of Montreal, but now a resident of Toronto, over Ontario Willingdon Cupper, Gordon Taylor, Jr,. of Toronto. Taylor three down andfive to go fought back with a flashing putting but finally went downbe- fore the deliberate play of the tiny ex-Mont- realer. Meanwhile, Somerville was taking a 2 and 1 victory over a steady opponent J. P. Cowie, Kanawaki, Monreal, Sandy, never in trouble, did not exert himself, while Cowie refused to give way with any display of unsteadiness. It was a fine showing for the Montrealer.

16 CaNnaDIAN GOLFER — August, 1937 | MOMENTS WHEN A TITLE WE RECOMMEND THE EVENTS BELOW . FOR THEIR CRUCIAL QUALITIES A PUTT TO KEEP A LEAD OF TWO

This picture like the rest on these two pages was taken at the recent Canadian Amateur Championship played at the Ottawa Hunt Club and happens to shows Gordon Taylor of Montreal putting for a two on the 213 yard eighth hole which was the 26th of his match with Phil Farley also of Montreal. At that point Farley had just lost five out of the last seven holes and had gone from three up to two down. Taylor, with the honor, put his ball this scant five feet from the cup. Looked like he was going to go three up—but with the shot that really stemmed the tide of battle, Farley put his long iron just seven feet beyond the hole. Putting first he got his putt for a deuce. Here Taylor misses his five-footer and instead of being three up with ten to go he is only one up. Farley reached the true heights in this great effort for he stopped the “white hot” Taylor who from there to the end merely played steadily where he had, been sobrilliant.

THE “PRESSURE” GOES ON

Here Taylor and Farley look over their long putts at the 32nd hole. Taylor is still one ahead, but the real pressure of nursing that slim margin goes on from here to the end. Both got down in two at this two shot hole and then they halved the next in well-played threes. This hole is th last on the “back nine” below the road at the Hunt Club. When one crosses that road to the last four holes with only a one hole lead he knows that anything can happen. Farley who was coming from behind now was rather at an advantage for Taylor seemed to be playing to wait out the holes in halves. When the pres- sure comes this is a bad frame of mind if winning is the player’s desire. e o : " “LULL” IN THE BATTLE AT THE 35th

Here at the 35th hole in the Taylor vs. Farley struggle comesa lull in the hostilities. The match is all square: Taylor has been overtaken. Both player’s balls are ap- : parently the same distance away from the cup on this par three thus Stan Horne and Harry Toulson are called upon to measure to find out who is “away:” It took about three minutes during which the players just stood and contemplated the situation. It was a tough spot in which to try and remain relaxed. Both had their minds on the next tee shot which is the longest, nar- rowest one which we have ever encountered. Both players got three’s (at the 35th however), after it was decided who should play first. “HE'S TOO GOOD FOR ME”, SET TO PUTT

Coming to an end, Sandy Somerville, London. putts “dead” at the 32nd in his semi-final match with tall. likeable, Jim Todd. The latter, one of the West Coast’s best players is a left-hander and last year held the Victoria City and District crown. He was medalist in this year’s B.C. amateur championship. Said Todd at the eighteenth hole in the match with Somerville, “He’s too good for me.” At that time Sandy had but a scant two hole lead. It seemed a bit premature to as- sume defeat specially in view of the fact that Todd had been hitting some splendid shots up to that point. Todd three-putted this hole upon which we see him in the foreground and thus became dormie four. Sandy won the 33rd to end the match 5 and 3.

CaNaADIAN GOLFER — August, 1937 17 PERHAPS HUNG IN THE BALANCE THESE SNAPS OF THE AMATEUR CHAMPION- SHIP REPRESENT DEFINITE “TURNING POINTS”

PERFECT FORM FROM TRAP

Farley at the nineteenth hole in the final against Som- erville. At this point the former was two up and his drive placed him in this trap about thirty yards short of the green and to the left. Somerville was still fur- ther to the left and had just played unto the green. Farley, playing confidently and easily hit the shot shown here right up to the green and had a likely birdie putt on which he was just a few inches short of the hole. This one was halved in fours which was par. Up to this point of the final match Farley was playing shots which in the closing holes were to become harder and harder as the intensity of the contest increased. His was perfect form on this trap shot.

“HE WHO HESITATE ETC.”

In this fleeting moment we see hesitation before the shot which spelled Farley’s doom in his great bid for the title. It is the second shot to the tenth green in the final against Sandy Somerville. All week the wind had been in the players’ faces at this hole making the shot a good three or four iron to the green. In the finals the wind changed, and left both players but a seven or eight iron. Farley, playing first, figured the shot out carefully and then to everyone’s amazement he “looked up!” The ball travelled only about twenty yards. This flubbed shot not only cost Farley the hole and his one up lead, but probably made his iron play from there to the end much less certain. From there to the end the “spectre” of this dubbed shot had the little Montreal gamecock thinking, perhaps’ uncon- sciously, too much of hitting the shot “cleanly” instead of directing it at the pin. Fact of the matter remains that Farley never got within real birdie range with an iron shot for the rest of the match.

THE VICTOR'S STRIDE

Elation marks the stride of the victor. Sandy Somer- ville, putter dangling in exultation which he seldom shows, strides to pick out the putt which brought him his sixth Canadian amateur crown. Here at the 35th hole in his matches with Farley, Sandy dropped a putt which the newspapers and critics guessed to be about eight feet. Sandy has already taken at least one stride and he is still ten feet from the cup. The putt went in for a par while Farley’s ball which is just beyond the cup is already there in two. Somerville had played his second from a bunker on the left. The putt while un- expected to most people didn’t surprise Farley who had figured Sandy likely to get that one in view of his fine putting touch. Farley, past the hole with his chip as will be noticed, had tried to sink his approach, realizing that Sandy might get his fourteen footer. This ended the match 2 and 1.

GETTING PAST “AN EASY ONE”

Somerville, playing several unknown players on his way to the finals was considered to be having a “coast” as it is termed. His were said to be “easy” matches. Here he is snapped in the midst of one of his “soft” rounds. Taken at the ninth Somerville is one up. He won from D. J. “Sunny” Morse, Chatham, Ont., 2 and 1. Somer- ville had a 71 to Morse’s 73. Par is 73. Which all goes to prove that no road to the finals of the Canadian amateur championship is ever particularly easy. This Morse youngster, incidently, is Western Public champion in Ontario and is a coming match player.

It takes cou- rage to embark upon a definite fertilizer program but the sure reward of god turf is well worth the effort.
