| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "sooner or later...holes of more than 500 yards in length will gradually disappear...What is required are more holes randing in length from 395 or 400 to 480 or so; or, to put it plainly, better two-shot holes, and not 'mongrel' holes of over 500 yards where three strokes of any kind will do." States that "this could be done not merely by a bunker system along, but by placing tees at varying distances and angles, so that they might be regulated according to the importance and class of the field and the prevailing conditions." Mentions "a few really good two-shot holes" including the number 15 at Baltusrol; the number 3 at Brookline; and the numbers 11 and 18 at Brae Burn. |
