Teeing off for The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ enters upon its Fourth Round this the Fourth month, and looking over the war scarred course of the past Round of the quartette of years, the outstanding feature is indubitably, the Game. splendid part taken bythe players of the game in the ‘‘great gameof all.’ From the records received by this magazine up until thefirst of May, it is a conservative estimate that over 3,500 members of golf clubs in Canada have donned khaki and of this noble army, over 250 have paid the supremeprice. Precious, indeed, is the sacrifice these brave hearts have laid upon Canada’s altar. There are several clubs which have an HonourRoll of over one hundred members at the Front; there is not a solitary club in the whole of the Dominion no matter howinsignificant, that is not represented by its tens or its twenties. up into the major figures. One Canadian golfer wears the coveted Victoria Cross: dozens have the Distinguished Service Order or Military Cross to their credit. All, alike have by land and bysea and byair, nobly bornetheir part in every portion of the far flung battle. Nobly have these three thousand odd. played the game; nobly have they fought andisuffered and if needs be. died. No other branch of amateursport in the Dominion has so proud a record. From a golfing standpoint the outstanding feature of the past three momentous years or more is contained in the fact that although the clubs have been entirely denuded of their members of fighting age, there are more golfers 3

\\ CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. IV, No. 1 to-day in the Dominion than there were before the entrance of the most calam- itous warin history. This is a most striking proof of the virility of the Royal and Aneient. Especially the past year or so has there been a marked increase of interest in the game and a marked increase in membership. Perhaps this is chiefly explainable by two reasons: First and foremost :— War time stress and activities, have certainly caused both men and women to seek more and morerelief and relaxation by getting into the sunshine and fresh air; out “‘into the open’’ and a roundof the links is an ideal antidote to the worries of war-time work and responsibilities and the gnawing anxieties occasioned by the struggle that is being waged so relentlessly and remorse- lessly in the theatres of strife. Another far-reaching reason is, that a large number of people have been very much impressed with the fact that the Anglo-Saxon leaders to-day, al- most without exception, in official life are golfers, and they have been very much influenced thereby. They argue, and rightly so too that if Prime Minis- ters and Presidents, Cabinet Ministers, and nearly ‘‘all those in authority’’ find it time well spent to indulge in the game of golf, whenever opportunity occurs, then there must be something in the game; ergo, a game worth culti- vating and mastering. Example is one of the most potent things in the world. Manyyears ago Balfour made golf the vogue in England. To-day the leading statesmen, professional and business men throughout the United States and Canadaare playing it and they too are inculeating the love of the old Scottish sport into the hearts of thousands of friends and admirers. In starting on the fourth round the Editor wishes to especially thank, the ever increasing numberof readers from coast to coast, not forgetting the many good golfing “‘ Allies’’ to the south of us, for the loyal support and ereourage- ment at all times vouchsafed the magazine. ‘‘Bad shots’’ aplenty have been so kindly overlooked; Any moderately ‘‘good drives’’ or ‘‘fair approaches,’’ have been so graciously commented upon, that the past ‘‘three rounds’’ have journalistically been most enjoyable, and personally most profitable and de- lightful. Maythe Fourth Round be so played that it will warrant the support and endorsement of the golfers of Canada and many warm friends in the United States and Great Britain, and, most blessed thought of all, may it witness the successful accomplishment of a victory for democracy and truth in the titanic tragedy nowbeing enacted, which surely cannot be much Jongerdelayed.

Patriotic Funds All golfers the coming season, are urged to give their hearty and Production support, alike to the campaign of Production and to the eall the Chief Call. of the Patriotic Funds. Last year the clubs responded splen- didly to both these deserving objects. There was not a club which did not see to it that the Red Cross and other kindred societies greatly benefited as a result of club competitions and elub matches. As a result of the activities of one Patriotic Day tournament, a Metropolitan club raised $3,000. Several other clubs had $1,000 and more to report as the result of the season’s efforts. Every club did something. What was accomplished in 1917 should be duplicated and even exceeded in 1918. The need is more urgent. Not a club competition or event of any description whatever should be allowed to take place on any golf course without an entrance fee for some worthy Patriotic Society or Fund. All prizes of any value must be eliminated. Nothing but praise can be meted out to the Jeading golf clubs which in 1917 set such a splendid example in taking up so vigorously the Food Produe- tion Campaign: The results in a number of cases were simply astonishing. Benefiting by the experience of 1917, this year even more valuable results May, 1918 CANADIAN GOLFER

will be obtained. Manyclubs are ‘‘doubling up’’ the acreage set apart for the raising of vegetables and other products of the soil. In another column the Organization of Resources Committee for Ontario makes a very strong appeal to golfers ‘‘for the biggest drive you have ever made. . . In the name of the Cause for which our countryis fighting, we ask you to lend both moral and material assistance to the food production campaign in every possible direction.’’ And the Committee, which is acting in co-operation with the Canada Food Board, can rest assured that golfers both on and off the links will respond most heartily to the call and will gladly do their “‘bit’’ and a ‘‘big bit’’ too, for the increased Food Production Campaign of 1918.

‘Waterloo won Britishers the world over, have a very warm spot in their on Playing hearts for the Hon. Mr. Brand Whitlock, the heroic United Field of Eton’’ States Minister to Belgium, who during the States’ neutrality did so much for the Allies and so much for the stricken Bel- giums. Heit was too, who fought so tenaciously for the life of the martyred nurse, Miss Cavell. His name will always be held in fond remembrance by the peoples of the Empire. Mr. S. P. Jermain, the ‘‘Father’’ of Municipal golf in Toledo, Ohio, recent- ly received a notable letter from Mr. Whitlock, whois still in Europe, the following extract from which he forwards to the ‘‘Canadian Golfer:’’ ‘“Don’t let the young men neglect their game altogether. Remember that ‘Waterloo was won on the playing field at Eton,’ and healthy outdoor sports do more to make the nation great than anything besides moral charac- oe ter. They make it physically clean and strong and they teach the lads the sense of fair play and honour,—andthat is what we arefighting for in this world to-day.’’ Such a notable pronouncement from such a notable man, is worthy of being heralded throughout the length and breadth of the land. It is a clarion call to old and young aliketo ‘‘Play up, play up and play the game’’—in the individual life and in the national life; in the field of work and in the play- field. It will interest readers of this magazine especially, to know that Mr. Whit- lock is a golfer and the members of the Inverness Club of Toledo recently honoured themselves by honouring the U. S. Minister to Belgium with alife membership in their club. Any golf elub the Anglo-Saxon world o’er, would be proud to have the name of Mr. Brand Whitlock on its membership list. He is one of the out- _ standing diplomatic and humanitariumfigures of the war.

From Mr. Sylvester of the Country Club of Springfield, Mass. : ‘‘The writer who is an alumnus of Queen’s University of Kingston, is extremely interested in the ‘‘Canadian Golfer,’’ not te mention the rank and file of our members and we do not care to miss a number.’’ Mae Mae Mam Mr. Alec Brown of Robert Forgan & Son, The Links, St. Andrews, writes the Editor: Our Captain Forgan is still in Salonica, where we may say hehas already enjoyed several games of golf. We understand there is quite a lot of that out in the ‘Near East,’ as it helps to keep the men fresh and fit.’’ M6 “ a6 A small matter no doubt, but why not be correct A large numberof elubs in sendingin their reports still persist in Having it ‘‘Greens Committee,’’ as though a chap named Green was running the whole show. Leave off the fad t should be ‘“‘Green Committee’’—a Committee having charge of the whole ‘‘Green,’’ which is the old Scottish term, embracing both green and fairgreen,

Judging from the requests (over 40) received from elubs from one end of the Dominion to the other for Calkins Handicap forms, the system will he generally inaugurated in the principal clubs this season. The ‘‘ Canadian Golfer,”’ as previously announced will be only too pleased to forward a eopy of the form to any elub making application. The system has the endorsement of the Royal Canadian Golf Association and should be generally adopted. ' v ' The pronouncement by the Rules of Golf Committee of the R. ©. G. A. this issue is worthyof every consideration. It is a notorious fact that on many Canadian courses the Rules of the game are more observed in the breach than in the observance. Let’s hope 1918 will see a big improvement in this res- pect. Hach individual member of the Rules Committee has given the pro- nouncement published elsewhere most careful and painstaking personal con- sideration.

The Seottish Women’s Hospitals in which Miss Florence Harvey, twice Jady champion of Canada, and for two years, Editress of the ‘‘Canadian Golfer,’’ is nowserving, is making an appeal to the golfers of Canada, to sup- port the Madge Neil Memorial Fund, in connection with its work in Serbia. Miss Harvey has nobly volunteered, and is nowserving in the unit, having gone overseas some three months ago. The least the polters of Canada can do is to contribute to the funds of the Society. The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ urges every golf ciuh the coming season to support Miss Harvey and the cause she has espoused. The ladies clubs of the Dominion should especially make this cause 6 May, 1918 CANADIAN GOLFER

The very progressive club at Sarnia is the latest te put in force the “Rotary System’’ in connection with the election of directors. At the last annual mecting on the initiative of Judge Maewatt, it was decided to elect directors for three, two and one years. “Tis the only system making for a virile golf elub. BRR: OK A despatch from Paris, April 21st, described an international football mateh there for a cup offered by the King of the Belgiums. The Belgiums defeated the French by 5 to 2. There was a huge attendance and both Premier Clemenceau and the Belgian Minister were represented. The boys at the Front are ‘‘earrying on’’ with sports as usual, notwithstanding the big of- fensive.

The Sports and Pastimes Committee of the St. Charles Club, Winnipeg, in its very attractive booklet of the 1918 events, prints a numberof the most ‘important rules with this footnote: ‘*Members are requested to study the Rules of Golf and not only to religiously abide by these Rules themselves, but to insist on others abiding by them. In a competition it is ab- Solutely unfair to the rest of the field to waive any penalty incurred by the player with hom you are playing the round.’’

Quite Right! Good Work, ea 78 my a Wounded soldiers, that is soldiers who are disabled from further fighting, or strenuous labour of any sort, are being given the first choice as caddies in several leading English clubs. The members make up a subscriptionlist, to add to the regular fee for the round. In Canada perhaps, where the seale of wages is, generally speaking, so much higher than it is in Great Britain, this innovation could probably not be introduced with any great. success. The ‘‘man caddie’’ is unknownin this country. Still however, in some cases. re- turned soldiers might be glad to take up such an occupation, which from a health recuperating standpoint, is an ideal one. :

36 pA We The Regina Golf Club has set an excellent example for other clubs to follow. Owing to the unusually propitious weather the season opened there early in April and a match was arranged between teams headed by the Captain and the Secretary, in which the older and more experienced players were paired with the new members and players of only one year’s standing. Golf, it is only fair to confess, is rather apt to be a selfish game. The tendencyis to make up matches with personal friends only or with players of one’s own calibre. The beginner doesn’t get a chance. He’s side-stepped; he’s not en- couraged. Regina’s idea is a good one. Once in a while a Captain in competi- tions should mix up his players—good, bad and indifferent. Give ’em all a chance to enjoy the game andprofit by playing with a partner with some good shots in his bag,

It is a very easy matter the coming season to par your course. Here is the formula :—Par3, up to 250 yards; Par 4, 251 yards upto 445 yards; Par 5, 446 yards up to 600 yards; Par 6, over 600 yards.

7 aN 7S A despatch from Washington, April 21st, says: ‘“The burn received by President Wilson on Friday, when he grasped a hot exhaust pipe as he climbed from the fighting tank Britannia, after a ride around the White House grounds, will prevent him from playing golf for at least a month, it is said. The President plays golf almost every day. The burn was giving the President some pain to-day, but promised not to be serious.’’

The extraordinaryrecord of the Norwood Golf Club, Winnipeg, inelecting 139 new members at a recent meeting of the directors, is one of the wonders of Canadian golfdom and that too in a city that has eight golf clubs. The Metropolis of the West too, has sent as many or more men to the Front per caput than perhaps anyother city in the Dominion. A most wonderful tribute certainly to the vogue of the game of golf in the West. WR ek ak Nowthen, for the ‘‘holes in one.’’ The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’s’’ Competi- tion opens on May 24th. Last season the Royal Ottawa was the first club to report the feat. With its thousands of golfing enthusiasts, and the courses in remarkable condition, thanks to a phenomenal early season, it is more than an even wager perhaps, that the Western ‘‘One-shotter’’ will be the first to be heard from in 1918. Here’s good luck to the ‘‘Oneers’’ were’er they may hie from or tee from. x KX “Golf Ilustrated,’’ New York, the golf paper de luxe, has been acquired by Mr. J. A. McKay, President of the ‘‘Spur,’’ New York, from Mr. Max Behr, the elever golfer and golf writer who has decided, owing to other important interests, to drop out of journalism—all of which is a distinet loss to the game and the Fourth Estate. Mr. Follette, a Cambridge man, by the way, and a golfer of repute, will be retained as Editor of ‘‘Golf Ilustrated,’’ which under his captainey is bound to continue its high standard of play. sk me ¥. ‘ + ‘ Although Provincial prohibition does not come into effect until May, 1919, the Quebec Government has cancelled the elub liquor licenses of the Royal Ottawa Golf Club, the Country Club, Ottawa and two city eity elubs in Hull. The members of the Rivermead Golf Club had already decided by a narrow vote not to renew the liquor license for the current year. All these clubs are across the river from Ottawa. This action of the Quebee Government has no bearing on the clubs in the Montreal district and other portions of Quebec. They will retain their licenses until May, 1919. Hull having ‘‘gone dry,”’ was the reason of the drastie action by the Government in the Ottawa district. Me {6 He The Ouimets of golfing fame are living upto the best traditions of the Royal and Ancient and they say that there is not a prouder womanin the United States than the mother, Mrs. L. F. Ouimet, who now has three sons serving Uncle Sam. Francis, the ex-amateur and open champion, as all the world knows, has been in khaki for some time, and has already risen to the position of Sergeant. Wifred, the oldest of the brothers, also a very fair golfer, is in the aviation branch of the U.S. service, and now comes Raymond, the youngest of the family. As a schoolboy he wonthe State junior golf cham- pionship of Massachusetts, and a few years ago he became a professional. He taught at Wellesley College, and last year had the berth at Bretton Woods. Last winter he was at an indoor school. He is below the draft age, but has written home, saying that this month he is going to Charlestown to enlist in the Naval reserve. Well done Ouimets.

Remarkable Game In Rome

Lieut.-Col. Betts, Well-known Canadian Golfer, Tells of Professional’s Great Score

Mi F. P. Betts, K.C., London, writes the Editor in entertaining vein. Bearing in mind the promise you exacted from me that J would send you anything that might seem to be of interest in the golfing line, [ enclose herewith (not without considerable dubiousness,—if there is such a word) an extract from a letter from my son Hyla, which I have just received. He is as you know extremely busy, and the days which he has an oppor- tunity of snatching for golf are few and far between. You are aware that he was recently appointed Assistant Director General of Transport, and sent to Italy from Dunkirk to assist in the re-organization of the transport service there. His duties apparently take himall over Italy. It was in Rome, where I understand they have a very good golf course, that he got the two games referred to in the extract. If he ever learns that I have sent this to you | expect he will drop everything and start for Canada with his gun. Probably if any one meets him on the way and asks him where he is going, he will say: ‘‘To Bag-Dad,’’ or words to that effect, thus convey- ing an entirely erroneous impression of the real object of his journey. With this preliminary explanation [ will take the risk of giving you the extract, whieh I think will prove of interest to his many old golfing friends in Canada. It is as follows: ‘*Yesterday J had the pleasure of seeing probably the finest exhibition of golf I ever witnessed. The pro. here—Doig, had been giving mehalf a stroke, and we had each won 1 match. Then two days ago I hit my old gait and got a round of fours and fives a thing i have never done in my life before. It was too hot for him and [ beat him six up. Yesterday he took his revenge. We had another chap with us, playing a threesome and some of the people at the club came out and followed us the full eighteen holes, to cheer for me. The bogy is seventy-seven and a stiff one, and Doig made seventy-three, a record, and the finest golf 1’ve ever played against. The first nine was ragged, and he got me five down, but the second nine I bucked up and in spite of his coming home rather better than he went out | managed to get back one of the fives and took five holes running, mostly bogy five, in four each. It was really great sport. I was getting my drives a bit wild but started letting out a bit towards the end to give the gallery something for their money and quite surprised myself. Incidently 1 took from the third member of the three- some the price of two carriage drives, lunches, the pro.’s fees, the caddies’ fees, sundry drinks and twenty-five lire, to the great joy of the spectators. He was rather a bump- tious youth and cured him, I believe. of a pernicious habit he had formed of driving with an iron club, because, as he said, he could get as far with an iron as other people could with a driver. He went out as soon as we had finished and took a prolonged lesson from the pro. in the use of the wooden club.’’

A Narrow Escape Harry Vardon (Open Champion) and Family Victims of Hun Bombs N a recent raid over London, the Huns fairly drenched with bombs the ] neighborhood in which Harry Vardon resides, and the ‘‘champion of champions’? himself had a very narrow escape from being killed. Des- cribing his experience Vardonsays: ‘‘ By some strange intuition, my wife and I got out of bed just before midnight. Then we heard the noise overhead, and almost immediately two bombsfell. It was a curious sound+—a soft hissing soundlike the falling of sand from a pail. Then came a tremendous explosion and everything about the place was thrown hither and thither. We were ab- solutely helpless, standing in the middle of the bedroom, not knowing what was going to happen. Within a minute the place was a wreck. Pictures, orna- ments, furniture were flying around, and yet we were fortunate enough to escape injury. My niece was in the next room andshe also had a presentment that something was going to happen. Before the bombs fell she was on the point of leaving her room, but when she got to the door the explosion occurred, and she was thrown downstairs, and in- jured about the face and body.’’ Asked as to his invaluable collection of golf medals, cups and other trophies, Vardon stated that they fortunately es- caped unscathed. He had them in a strong box which he has since deposited in the bank. ‘‘But for the present.’’ the champion said: ‘“‘I am in a helpless and homeless condition. Until I can secure another house there is only one room here habitable.’’ The open champion is not only the most celebrated of golfers, but he is per- sonally immensely popular throughout the golfing world. He has made two visits to this coun- try, the first time in 1900, when he won the U. S. open championship, and then thirteen years later with his travelling companion, Edward Ray, he tied with Mr. Francis Ouimet for the same cham- ‘‘Champion of Champions,’’ who nar- pionship and was defeated in the play-off. rowly escaped death from Huns. Vardon on both his visits to this continent played many exhibition games in Canada andinstalled himself a prime favourite with the large galleries that watched with absorbing interest his brilliant work with wood and iron, It will be a matter of intense gratification to his many admirers here that he and his family so fortunately escaped injury from the Hun bombs. Vardonis a national asset, and it is hoped will be spared manyyears to play ‘“‘the game of games’’ in the masterly manner, which has been such an inspiration and education to countless thousands. He was 48 years of age the 7th of this month. but as he wrote the ‘‘Cana- dian Golfer’’ recently, he hopes after the temination of the war, to again visit this country, where he will be assured of the heartiest kind of a weleome. In the meantime, he will continue to play in exhibition matches this season and by this means raise thousands of dollars for the Red Cross and other Patriotic Funds. 11 a ee

St. Gharles, Winnipeg In Its Production Activities, Sets a Splendid Example to Other Golf Clubs R. W. B. Lanigan, who this year resigned from the Presidency of the M. St. Charles Country Club, Winnipeg, much to the regret of the mem- bers, has always taken a very keen interest for many years in the “‘varden-side’’ of golf and as a result, the St. Charles to-day has possibly the most up-to-date system of vegetable and flower production of any elub in Canada. In reply to an enquiry from the ‘“‘Canadian Golfer’’ as to the methods pursued, Mr. Lanigan writes: ‘With reference to golf production, the St. Charles Country Club last year had 10 acres under cultivation, and J amglad to report that the project was a commercial success besides adding considerably to genera) production. This was due to the patronage of members of the club, many of whom for years have obtained their supply of fresh vege- tables and their winter potatoes from the club gardens. In addition, we had of conrse all the fresh vegetables required for consumption at the club. This year we are bringing in an additional acreage, most of which will be devoted to potatoes, and besides this, we propose to plant some 1.000 to 1,500 trees and shrubs. The garden feature of the St. Charles Country Club dates from the origin of the club and has gradually been enlarged every season through the increasing demands of the club and of the members for fresh vegetables. The business is on the well known ‘‘cash and carry’’ system. The club is reached by an excellent auto road, and when a member desires any- thing in the way of vegetables he writes out an order on his arrival at the club, encloses the necessary amount, and when he leaves he takes his purchases away in his own auto. Ajl kinds of vegetables are on sale to the members, a list of vegetables available being posted on the club board. Apart from the matter of increasing consumption, the members greatly appreciate the opportunity of getting a daily supply of vegetables as they require them.’’” Here is an excellent example for other large elubs to follow. What St. Charles has done in Winnipeg, ean be accomplished by every club in every large golfing centre.

He seems always to be suffering from an overdose of DeQuincy. The story is told, but not vouched for, that a friend (ignorant of the principle of the game) met him on the links one day and asking him: ‘“‘how it was done,’’ received the following reply :— ‘The prodictivity of the activity of the resiliency gf this sphere, aided by the exertive ability of the exponent of the game, rendered possible by the exact or mathematical circularization of the head of this elub, creating an impact at its centre of gravity, and the centre of gravity of the sphere, on the alinement of the true direction, taken through the axis of the sphere, together with a continuous motion of the head of the club, following such impact, commonly called ‘a follow through,’ results in the sphere attaining the necessary speed and direction towards the object of your attainment, which is that flag you can perceive in the distance.’’ This so staggered the ignorant one that all he could gasp in reply was :— ‘*B’-gosh! You don’t say! and I thought yon just hit it.’’ And he ran all the wayto the city to tell the news. 12 p itals Scottish Women’s Hos D

Long Driving Essential to Eminence By an English Contributor

Pane well remember a time when length with wooden elubs was not con- sidered of any very great consideration in the game, and we were told, as youngsters, when laboriously climbing the rungs of the ladder, to keep straight at any cost, and not to worry about length. Perhaps at that period there was a great deal of wisdomin this advice, but in the light of latter-day experience I have never been able to quite fathom exactly where the wisdom arrived on the scene, as the farther one can hit the ball, the easier it is sure to make the rest of the game up to the hole. Yet our friends of the old days must have had some reason for their repeated advice not to hit hard, andit perhaps lay in the fact that the wooden elubs then used did not lend them- selves to hard, crisp hitting, and were only built for the art of gentle per- suasion, and hard hitting meant, of a surety, crooked hitting. The majority of players have probably a very slight acquaintance with those wooden clubs of the ‘seventies and ‘eighties of the last century. Only the other day I was looking at a set which must have seen the light of day between the years 1878 and 1885, and although I was playing golf at that time and must have used clubs of a similar pattern (perhaps the very clubs I was looking at, as the set constitute a family golfing heirloom), still I could not believe that I ever played the game of golf with clubs of that prehistoric mould; and when I looked over them J did not wonder that players in the old days did not attempt to hit a golf ball really hard. In the first instance, I do not think that the club would have stood the strain, and in the second, the result must have been a colossal slice, as the shafts were thin and so supple as to be comparable with a piece of chewed string. The head was about five inches long, and a little, if any, over an inch across, and the lead must have been perilous near the face of the club. In comparison with the modern day workmanlike weapon, these old clubs represented almost the limit of impossibility. I cannot imagine any- thing in the shape and form of wooden clubs which could appearless adapted for the task of hitting a golf ball really hard than those old fashioned clubs. The remarkable thing is, that had I been casually shown one of these clubs and been told that I once used clubs made in that model, I would have said ‘‘Rub- bish! those elubs were made before I ever played the game of golf.’’ But they were not for I have the family records to prove it. I must have once used clubs of their stamp, and I can nowreadily realize howit is that I originally learnt the game on the principle that aceuracy was everything andhardhitting not advisable. Nowadays it is admitted on all hands, that length with woodenelubsis a great consideration in the game, and a player cannot hope to attain a very great measure of success unless he can hit a comparatively long ball. To my mind, length in driving is becoming more essential, year after year, and in connec- tion with golf in our country the example of the advantage of length has never been so marked as in the championship of recent seasons, It is true that the veteran, Mr. John Ball, is not a prodigious driver. One of the reasons wh) the value of long driving is, year by year, becoming greater, is on account of the gradual lengthening of the courses, and the added difficulties of th: approaches. Now-a-days putting greens are hemmed in with small hazards 1 order to add difficulties to the course, and they are difficult to the man wh« has to play a long-approach up to the hole. but much of this difficulty dis appears when the approach to be played is a comparatively short one, and th length obtained by the long driver helps to give him easy approaches.

present principle in connection with golf course architecture is all in fayour of the long smiter; he ean drive so far that many of the hazards set to eatch a pulled or sliced tee shot do not exist for him. Within the past ten years or so the character of links in the construction thereof has sufficiently changed to make material difference in the advantages gained by different methods of play, and, whereas in the earlier years of this century the comparatively short- driving, scientific golfer could hold his own with his longer-smiting brother, that day seems to have gone by, and in the highest form of golf, as represented by the leading professionals, a man must learn to hit the ball a long way, and to do that he must learn to hit it erisply. This advice may appear somewhat strange in that it comes from a player who has never madelong driving a fetish, invariably plays all shots well within his powers of physique, and who ts apt to preach against the cult of indiserim- inate hard hitting from the tee; but there is a difference between haphazard slogging from the tee and the art of being able to hit the ball sharply and crisply. Many youngplayers are apt to confuse the two, and it must not be overlooked that it is not necessary to hit every tee shot just about as hard as nature will allow one. So many young players do this, and when they are driving all over the course, discuss the matter with the remark that they are off their wooden club play on that day. On such occasions the player should hit the ball well within his physical powers. He has proved to himself that it is not his day, for his usual ‘‘all out’’ methods, so he should wisely go into his shell, and not take unduerisks.

Golf In Vancouver

Shaughnessy Heights Club Is Extending Its Course, and Making Other Improvements HEspring has been quite backward in Vancouver and this, with the shortage of labour is causing golf club officials a great deal of worry, although warmer weatheris nowinsight. Out at Shaughnessy Heights they are improving their club house and lengthening their course. At present this is 5,737 yards, but when the improvements are completed there will be a championship course of over 6,000 yards. Shaughnessy, andin fact all the Vancouver clubs are justly proud of their greens and fairgreens. There are none finer on the continent. Unhke the East, the Vancouver clubs play golf nearly the year round. The fixtures for the Shaughnessy Club for instance, started March 29th, with an 18 hole medal competition. The last event of the season will be the Xmas Day tournament. The opening match with Jericho will be played May 4th. On May 11th Burnaby will be played. June 15th the city championship takes place at Burnaby. July 20th witnesses the return match with Jericho and September 7th, the return match at Burnaby. In October, Vancouver golfers will compete in the Punch Bowl tourna- ment which this season will be held at Seattle. Officers of the Shaughnessy Heights Golf Club for 1918 are: Hon. Presi- dent, Lord Shaughnessy; President, Mr. R. Knox-Walkem; Vice-President, Mr. C. B. Maeneill, K.C.; Secy-Treas., Mr. R. J. Longden; Captain, Dr. A. Cumming; Vice-Captain. Mr. N. J. Smillie. Directors: The officers and Dr. Marpole, W. E. Hodges, J. Poff, E. H. Beazley, ©. S. Meek and J. S. Patterson. The club’s professional, A. Blinko, is still on active service, so A Duthie of Jericho, is Jooking after both clubs in the meantime.

Granbrook Golf Club Progressive British Columbia Organization Has Successful Annual Meeting HE third annual general meeting of the members of the Cranbrook Golf i Clab, Cranbrook, B.C., was held in the City Hall. There was a large at- tendance. After the minutes of the last annual meeting were read and adopted, the Secretary presented the financial report, which showed the club to be in a satisfactory financial condition, having a surplus of $95.65. The Seeretary stated that the clab’s membership showed a shght increase over the previous year. He referred with regret to the loss the club had sustained by the death of two of its most enthusiastic members. Mr. G. W. F. Carter and Dr. Moore. He pointed out that the increasing membership war- ranted the consideration of enlarging the club house and improving the course but if improvements were decided on, it would be necessary to increase the membership fees. ‘ The constitution was amended by adding Honourary Vice-President t the list of officers, and the position was tendered to Mr. A. C. Nelson. The election of officers resulted as follows: Honourary President, Mr. V H. Baker, re-elected; Honourary Vice-President, Mr. A. C. Nelson; President Mr. Jas. T. Laidlaw, re-elected; Vice-President, Mrs. F. W. Green; Secy.-Treas Mr. M. A. Beale, re-elected. Executive Committee:—Mrs. G. Hogarth, Mrs 16 May, 1918 CANADIAN GOLFER 17

The Ladies Tea Committee will be selected by the Ladies’ Executive Com- mittee. Membership fees were decided upon as follows: Men $15,00 ; Lady Players, $10.00; Tea Members. $5.00; Outside Members, $5.00; Green Fees, 50c. The new arrangement will permit any visitor in Cranbrook to use the golf course on payment of a fee of fifty cents. Tickets may be obtaimed from the Secretary or at the Cranbrook Hotel. The question of improvements to elub house and course was left in the hands of the executive to be dealt with.

Some Rules to Remember in 1918S u p i ‘ Committee of the R. C.G. A. Urges a Strict Observance of Rules and Etiquette During Coming Season HE Rules of Golf Committee of the Royal Canadian Golf Association at this, the open- | ing of another season, strongly urges upon all golfers a stricter observance of the Rules. There will be a large number of newplayers on the links, and Captains, Match Committees and club officials should see to it that they are properly impressed with the importance of making themselves conversant with the Rules. The older players too, should be asked to assist in this respect by themselves setting a good example, on all occasions. There is a good reason for all the Rules. They have been thought out, and threshed out, during a long period of time and their observance is absolutely essential, for the proper playing and enjoyment of the game. All Rules are important, but the Committee, would especially direct the attention of Canadian golfers to the following:

p FORE! ONTARIO Get Set for the Biggest Drive You Have Ever Made

(he drive for increased food Production.

You dare not foozle it.

You and every other member of your club must prove that you are worthy of the Royal and Ancient Game, by seeing to it that every piece of unused Jand controlled by your club is put under vegetable cultivation.

The obligation upon every elub is to, at least, raise sufficient vegetables and poultry for the use of its members. staff and guests. Wesuggest a Production Handicap

in which every member of the club should compete. The losers in each successive round should be compelled to do so many hours cultivating or hoeing.

By the end of the season nearly every playing member will have done some work on the patch, and consequently take more lively interest in :ts de- velopment.

Be Up and Awake to the Need ot Increased Food Production

It is hardly necessary to address gentlemen of golfing calibre about the necessity for increased food production.

In the name of the Cause for which our country is fighting, we ask you 40 lend both moral and material assistance to the food production campaign ip every possible direction.

Upon request we will send to any Golfer, free of charge. a booklet upon vegetable growing. Mention the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’? when you write and address: Organization of Resources Committee Parliament Buildings, Toronto. In Co-operation with Canada Food Board.

LAWNS and GREENS SELECTION OF SEED AND SOWING |: is most important that the lawn should be sown with a mixture of grass seeds especially adapted for the purpose required. A mixture suitable for a Park or Golf Course would be quite unfit for a private lawn, Bowling or Putting Green. All the finest grasses that are most suitable for the formation of a lawn when grown for seed produce very much less weight of seed per acre than do the coarser growing varieties, consequently the cheaper the mixture the coarser the turf. We maintain that the finest dwarf growing grasses are the most economical even for large areas, as the turf formed by the dwarf compact habit of the finest grasses requires to be mown only about half as many times as a turf formed of coarser growing varieties. Before sowing the seed it is advisable to rake the surface as smooth as pos sible, then on a calm day, sow the seed as evenly as possible over the surface, and after raking it in, roll well several times with a good hand roller until the surface is perfectly firm aud smooth. If the soil is heavy and liable to become hard, a light roller only may be used, leaving the rolling to be done after the grasses have become well rooted. THE BEST GRASS SEEDS TO USE It is evident that not all grasses are adapted to lawn making. Only such kinds as are capable of making a close turf are ideal for lawns. Most grasses which have creeping root stocks, short joints, and produce long, narrow leaves in abundance about the crown of the plant, adapt themselves well to lawn making. For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds—Rennie’s Best XXX or Evergreen LawnSeed. For Terraces or Side Hills—Rennie’s Best XXX or Evergreen Lawn Seed. For an Ordinary House Lawn—Rennie’s Best Lawn Seed. For Bowling Greens—Rennie’s Bowling Green Lawn Seed. For Shaded Situations under Trees, etc.—Rennie’s Shady Nook Lawn Seed. For Golf Putting Greens—Rennie’s Putting Green Seed. For Golf Fair Greens—Rennie’s Fair Green Seed. For Ball or Cricket Grounds or Athletic Fields__Rennie’s Tough Turf Grass Seed. Note:—Rennie’s Grasses have been thoroughly tested to stand the severe frosts of a Canadian winter season. Manyof the hest BHuropean grasses are un- suitable here.

Kind Words from the Amateur Ghampion N this, the Third Anniversary of your magazine, I want to con- gratulate you on the continued excellence of each and every issue. It is astonishing to me these war times that you can continue to give golfers such a well printed, well illustrated and instructive and entertaining monthly periodical. It is a credit to Canadian golfdom. 1 read every number with much interest and profit. It is no doubt in every golf club, but in my opinion, it should also be in the homeofall golfers in Canada. It is well worthy of a place in the reading roomor library of every follower of the game, we all love so well and which is keeping so manyof us mentally and physicallyfit in these stressful times.

The failure of the arteries is one of the OLD tragedies of modern life. Men in the very prime of life, and in the midst of business activities, are suddenly cut off. In many TERIES cases the blow comes before they realize then condition And what is the cause? Most usually overeating and drinking, combined with too little bodily exer cise. The blood becomes overloaded with poisons. The kid neys ‘break down in an effort to filter the blood, degeneration of the arteries takes place, an artery in the brain bursts, a clot is formed and paralysis results. Or it may be an artery in the heart that gives way and causes heart failure. And how1s this condition to be avoided? By moderation in eating and drinking, and by keeping the liver, kidneys and bowels regular and active. If you do not get sufficient exer cise to accomplish this, it is necessary to use such treatment as Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills It is only by the action of these organs that the blood can be purified and the poisons removed from the system. In using Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills you are not making any experiment, for they have no equal as a means of awakening the liver, kidneys and bowels to healthful activity. They prevent such serious troubles as hardening of the arteries, and thereby promote comfort and health and prolong life.
