...face of his wooden clubs with blue chalk, waxing the handle of his irons before the difficult shot. To Cyril Tolley who won it at Muirfield nine years ago again went the championship. He, a links behemoth, has obtained most fame from his prodigious drives. In 1923 at Troon he drove to the green on a 350-yard hole.

In their own counties, they were most of them little champions, but among them there was easy-going young Joyce Wethered, who, last year...
...Sound advice, from a certain diminutive Carnoustie man who teaches golf near Chicago, to persons going to golf at Troon, is this: "Gae oot on the fi-rrst nine o' Troon, an' gae in on the second nine o' Pr-restwuk. Hae yer lonch, an' gae oot on the fir-rst nine o' Pr-restwuk, comin' in on the last nine o' Troon. Aye, an' ye'll pay only one gr-reen...
