Sixpenny Putter:
When Bobby Jones was winning every prize the game offered, his putter became famous. They called it “Calamity Jane.” Last year when the open champion Alf Padgham was winning competition after competition his putter became "The Thousand Pound Putter.” In the £2OOO tournament at Little Aston, 20-year-old Max Faulkner, assistant-professional, smashed the course fecord with a 68, and again a treasured putter did the trick. But what a putter. Max was just starting golf four years ago when he picked it up in his father’s shop. It was a discard, ancient, made of aluminium. Sixpence would have been a generous offer for it. But Max altered it to suit himself —and now. offer to buy the shabby old thing for its weight in gold, and he’ll refuse.—" Daily Sketch.”
