Abstract/Contents:Suggests that "the character of the putting greens and their approaches mark the quality of a course to a far greater extent than anything else. Now matter how excellent may be the distances; how cunningly placed the hazards, or how carefully considered has been the distribution of shots, - if the greens themselves do not stand forth impressively the course itself can never be notable." Suggests to "construct...greens boldly and naturally, remembering at all times from which side of the fairway the approach is to come and the character of the club with which the approach is to be made."
