TED RAY—PITCH 8391‘.
No need for me to stir up the old
controversy as to the respective
merits of the pitch shot and the run
up, but it will suffice if I at OIlCl‘
say that out and out I am for the
pitch.
Probably one of the finest efforts
1 swr saw on the golf course in the
way of a pitch was at Rochampton.
in the closing stages of a profession-
al tournament in 1921, which was
won by Taylor. His bail lay in a
sand bunker only a matter of. feet
from the pin. and it may safely be
said that that was the most im-
portant moment throughout the
tournament. The majority of the
lookers-oanore in a quandary as to
how TayIOr was going to play the
stroke. but. to the consternation of
those who watched. he thrashed his
club head into the sand quite four
inches behind the ball. which he
proceeded to lay within two inches
of the hole. Of Course, there was
no question of :1 Fun up there. but
it went to prove how succcssfullv
Taylor had studied the intricacies
of a stroke within short distance of
the flag.
