Never have I seen aâ€"club extend to visiting competitors, either amaâ€" teur or professional, more courtesy than was extended by the clulb whereâ€" on the tournament was held, and all the members of the executive of that club and of the are deservâ€" ing of the highest praise for this branch of their labours.. All departâ€" ments were most efficiently conducted. ‘*Another cause of the undeorâ€"develâ€" opment of golf in this province is the class of instruction golfers have been recerving. A year ago, I opened my golf school (and it is still running), and during the time it has been open golfers have come to me who have had lessons from professionals in this province, and they had not even been taught the proper way to hold the clulb>. *‘*‘There is an instructor herewbouts who has been teaching a grip wahich will never permit those who are strugâ€" gling with it to get beyord the dub class. Where are thundreds of golters duwbhbing round the golfâ€" courses of this province who haive ibeen taught wrong. The more these poor souls play the worse they wull get. Some golf lessons are cheap at $5 and othâ€" ers are dear at fifty cents: ‘*With the single exception of Wilâ€" lie Campbeli I have never seen a firstâ€" class player who was a firstâ€"class inâ€" structor. (While on the other hand, noneâ€" of the firstâ€"class instructors are firstâ€"class players. Getting your puâ€" pils to play well and then to go out and play as Vardon does is imposâ€" sible. Teaching breaks up a profesâ€" sional‘s gcame. "*This demic of city. **There are five correct grips out of which the maximum degree of hitâ€" ting power can be obtained. There are several other grips that are not so good. One or other of the five grips can be applied to any golfer, depending on the size of his hand, Ign;:th of arm, ete. The average golf instructor can be excused from being unable to analyze a goif swing with its many complicated â€" parts, hbut there is no excuse for him not teachâ€" ing one or other of the correct emips. scores oT Je Dest goilers started as caddies and are proud of the fact. tmve the caddies a few of your old clwhs and a chance to develop their games. Help the boys along. Them playing on the course won‘t hurt it. ‘‘Last year the Ontario Amateur (Giolf Association held an {#open‘ tournament. (They were just twentyv years behind the different states who started these tournaments yvears ago) and instead of throwing it open as it should be, to any golfer who paid an entry fee. they held a closed tourâ€" nament for representatives of â€"the clubs who were members of the O.A.

None. ‘*The professional ‘OUIfG‘I‘a of this province should er province hold a closed â€" tournament. Why should the O.:A.G.A. hold one, too?, If the golfers of this province are unable to hold their own against outside mmrpetlmon let them be beatâ€" en. Let the best man \\m ‘*Holding an ‘open‘ tournament the way the O.A.G.A. held one last year does not fully serve the purpose it is intended to in the developing of golf, hbut, on the other hand, shuts out many golfers whoâ€" should be eligible to compete. ( ‘*Golf today in this province is far behind what it should be and this is due to several reasons. Every golf club should allow the caddies to play on the course three mornings a week, starting as early as they like but finishingy by nine o‘clock. ‘This will develop golfers for the future. No apparent effort is being made to deâ€" velop the young players who, will be the club members of the future.

It is a truison that the future of any sport depends on the rising generation, and this feaâ€" ture of the letter by Mr. Sert‘os can searcely hbe overâ€"emphasized. The letter by Mr. Servos is as follows:â€" ‘*Are you a golfer?
