HAGEN'S GOLF
"It isn't his wonderful scoiing, but rather the manner in which he gets Ms figure*s, that impresses," remarked a well-known professional during a match in which Walter Hagen was giving one of his usual superlative displays in Melbourne. Ih this particular match Hagen had an almost faultless 70. A leading amateur against whom he was playing also scored well for a card of 72, but his methods were such that he almost appeared to be playing some other game, comments a Victorian critic. Had a stranger come on the scene not knowing the Identity of the players he could not but have been xecognised immediately that Hagen was a master •eraftsman.
