GOLFING.
Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.] A GOLF CRITIC. ,S*e«ivod this day at 8 a.mA LONDON, Alay 29. The “ Standard’s” golfing expert attributes the superiority of the Americans tn the closest study of essentials and the creation of a race of players striving to attain the same results by the same methods, producing made to pattern gollers, with a better style than the Britishers. It is noticeable that at Aluirliehl, all the Americans swung their clubs alike. There was little difference between Walker Cup players and private competitors. Presumably the style was founded on the old Carnoustie school, which the Scottish pioneers took to America. Tt is now admitted that professionals and amateurs all putt alike, pushing the elbow along the line of the swing, not moving the wrists. On the other hand the British players are brought up t° believe there is no royal road to success. and adopt varying attitudes and different swings, resulting in a completely jumble of methods. Their putting is murder, still any way is good enough so long as the hall is holed. The .Americans supremacy is also clue to keenness and constant practice.
