GOLF SIMPLIFIED By Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr. THE MINIKAHDA COURSE I do not think that Bobby Jones Will win at Minikahda unless ho is particularly favored by the draw. For <1 all the courses that the National! Amateur Championship has been playled upon during tlie last seven years I this one will give th® field more of ’ an equality of chance against Atner- ■ tea's best development of the long i second shot. 1 in mv memitrj then has never been ' a golfer who could play n shot from 175 to 275 yards as accurately as Bobby Jcies, and tfiat. and Ills ability to ■ putt well has made him what he is today. How he acquired that ability ’ is an interesting question. Whether he saw this lengthening of holes and developed the shot, or whether it was merely a natural outgrowth of his tremendous’y great physical strength. I do not know. Minikahda will not require many of these shots, and there will be plenty of strong, young collegians to meet the requirements. And without this terrific second shot Von Elm, Ouimet and the field will play on more nearly equal terms. II is this extraordinary second shot demanded by the new courses, coupled with good putting, that has made 'he golf championship a one man's ' game duping the last five years since .the craze for length brought about Iby the new balls changed the very ■ character of many courses. It may be that Minikahda will show the won't! the old golfing scenes repre- < iitlng more ages, and a wide-spread interest that such a condition conI veys. If will do a great deal for the I economy of golf if it will only show !that a course of 6500 or 6700 yards I can show a more interesting competition than the excessively long ones that prove a burden to all except the very strongest players, .and place i serious handicap on the galleries
