YOUTH'S 69
LONG HITTING
A round of 69, six strokes lower than I the standard scratch score, by a youth of 19, P. W. L. Hisdon, was the outstanding feature of the play in the Golf Balls of Stoke Four-Ball Tournament at Stoke Po'ges. The' 'scratch score is'3B out and 37 back. Eisdon's figures were:—:. . Hole. -Yds.

Another noticeable feature is the bent arm at the address, though it straightens out immediately the back swing has got under way. There is no hurry, length, being ob.tained by perfect timing. A feature of his play was the powerful hitting. In a cross wind he drove to the tenth green,! a distance of 295 yards, and at the thirteenth down wind,
he drove 320 yards. His putting was excellent. ■
