started for each other but were pried
apart by their friends who informed

In putting. the ball is definitely
sirvck. It is firmly dismissed upon
its journey. It is not scraped up to
in. hole. The grip is generally a
divided one. The left hand may be,
it anything. rather under the shai‘t
than over itpand the right hand is
also slightly underneath. The blow
whlch is delivered is a. level blow.
ohlch causes the ball to glide over
the green with the least possible do—
sire to disturb its surface.
For the less fortunate lndilidual
who finds this part of the game a
thorn in the flesh and' who is com-
pelled to labor heavily oicr the pro-
cess. some essentially wmkmanllkc
method must be adopted. He may
get the ball into the hole. but he
putts less nntul-aly. The difference
in the running of the ball.is at once
apparent. There is not the same
purposeful freedom of motion. it
moves in a more sbber manner over
the ground. Still the ordinary per-
son is thankful for satisfactory re-
