To day I desire to add my mite to tho Ideas advanced, ior 1 1 nny one has felt tho Inconsistency of tho gamo in re spect to putting more than I have I should bo glad to meet him. One writer sug gests that tho cup should bo made larger, nnd I, too, think that this would aid In this elimination of the d lap roportlonate value placed upon the work of the putter. I think it was Travcrs that ....... i-a ruAva ligurea out tnai putting was '45 per cent of tho game. I think It probably ls about that proportion, but surely It was not the Idea of tho old Scotch golfers that such should be tho case. Very likely, however, larger cups would permit occasional approach putts to be holed, and badly hit shots would go In, and scores In the sixties would be easily possible. , It would eliminate the accuracy of the putting stroke, and give more importance to the second shots the real master stroke of the game. It xvould make the play of the best golfers and would take axvay the really beautiful silence that envelops the putting green at critical moments. The de llghtful uncertainty of tho gamo the gal lery tension, the defeat of the, expert by the Inferior player whohas developed un expectedly a wonderful putting streak and other happenings of like nature would all he gone.

PIAYGOLF' Premium on Putting triumph ox-er tho cruel fates of tho put ling green Vx'hat could xvo golfers talk uhout and golf ls n very conxcrsatlonal game when a round Is om o ended If the Btrange, the freakish happenings on tho putting green w-ere taUen from us? Tho missing of short putts hns drixtn many a man to a condition bordering nn Insanity nnd It has given mo many a deep xx-nund, but I must confess that It nddH to tho In terest of tho game. Tho picture of a man measuring a missed txxo-foot putt Is full of meaning. These facts being as they nre, let us first try to perfect our putting, for It Is a part of the game. It Is not the whole thing, however, for golf Is a big game played over n long stretch of country with many big masculine strokes, and the little performances on tho putting green aro only a part of It, Decreasing Greens' Space For that reason I have thought the un fair ndx'antago given so frequently tn the putter might be remedied by decreasing the size of the greens. If they xvero made, say, twenty feet square (of course no really square lines are seen on a modern golf course), the second shot, tho "cut" and push shots would Increase In proportion, and tho long, sixty-foot, snaky putts from the edge of the green xvould disappear. This would ba calculated to bring about a more nearly fair condition than the en largement of the cup and xvould not destroy the ancient Ideas of the game. It would demand extra care of the .ground In front of the green, but would cut down the expense of the greens, an ex pernio that has been groxvlng rapidly in proportion to the generosity of their sire. I love the old game, Just as It was handed down, and I hope some time to be beaten by a golfer who does not xvln his match on the putting green.
