thuse wIh argue that it I wrong to say
that a fairly long course I a sufficient
test to select the best golfer out ot a
field of any fifty or 100 competitor. ,ln
other words, no course csn bo a thorough
test of the skill and nerve of th player
which lias not so closely guarded green
that on occasions there la but one, and
that a most skilful (hot, by which th
long approach can got home.
It 1 not too much to ' that the
character of the course Is determined by
the position and guarding of H- putting
It the greens are In an open
position It well-nigh passe the wit of
man to make the courao flrst-clasa. One
may lengthen the hole and construct
artificial bunker galore, but tha final
teat that of the approach shot ! want
ing.
In Inylng out a new course or remodel-
ing an old one the main thought should
be given to the proper placing or close
guarding of tho green. Where the
player starts from the tee In order to
reauh the green, the golf engineer should
tart from the green tn order to tlx th
tec. In selecting or guarding- th green
th thought hou!d be ever uppermost
