The result was a special niblick with a rear one-quarter of an inch lower than-the frout edge of the blade. In other words, it is designed with a rudder like an airpl ane, and its effect was amazing. I don't fear the traps now. I even seek them, as I did on two holes of the 1D32 world's championship match with Francis Ouimet. I mean that I played for the traps while Ouimet played for the pin, and I won both holes, as I fully expected to. I knew, you see, that the pin s were not advantageously placed; that Ouimet's pitch shots wouldn't hold the green, but would roll over into the rough. And I knew tha,t I could chip nearer to the cup from the sand than he or anybody else could from the grass. Nobody knows it, but when I threw away .Ils T old to Davis J.
