What other golfer has done anything to compare with this freakish stroke? It took Diegel a whole year to devise this method—a year spent in whole-hearted disgust with his own inabil- ity to even make a respectable showing on the putting greens. Away back in 1920 Diegel, then not the veteran that we think of him as being to-day, drove through the usual “hot” field of golfers and it looked for a time as if he was headed for a Nation- al title. The putting greens robbed Diegel of the odd stroke or two in the closing stretch and he missed that title by a single stroke. Some men can take a licking like that as part of the game but Leo Diegel was different.

By H. R. PICKENS JR.

Here's the Royal and Ancient Club House at St. Andrews, the cradle of golf, where in 1872 Tom Morris Jr., won his fourth and last British title, and where fifty-five years later Bobby Jones won his British Open title. When did the grand old links come into existance? Answer that question and know when golf first started. “Interwoven with the an tiquity of St. Andrews are the history and the antiqui ty of golf. The beginnings of both are hidden beyond remembrance, There is na evidence as to when St

Andrews was founded, and there is no evidence as to when golf was first played, We do know that golf is the national game of Scotland, and that the links of St. Andrews are and always have been one of its inspiration.’

Another enticing event has been added to the extensive golf programme already listed for the Bermudas this winter. It comes from the Castle Harbour Hotel in their announcement that the first invitation Mid-Ocean Castle Harbour tournament is now most decidedly an annual fix- ture. The dates for the second staging of this event have therefore been set Feb. 16th. Following the lines adopted last year the programmewill include events for all classes of player, providing 18 holes of golf competition a day for an entire week. Starting on Saturday February 16th when the two week excursion commences, golfers will have ample opportunity to ab- sorb the benefits of two weeks of golf in the sunshine. Canadians, Americans, and Bermudianswill be invited to take part in this tournament sponsored by the magnificent Castle Harbour Hotel. Bermuda tournaments have always had a strong Ca- nadian representation, and it is hoped that this year the same enthusiasm will be shown.
