Alex Ross Returns From Scotland Aims Pinehurst Practice
Alex Ross reports that to contend in the British Open at St. Andrews this summer American pros must sharpen running-up shots at Pinehurst. He notes turf, greens, and kick effects favoring St. Andrews style, while Jock Hutchison and Bob MacDonald dominate there. Ross plans no return to St. Andrews, but British golf debates the new standard ball and its flight. Taylor to Times argues the 27 pennyweight limit may backfire, expanding distance and reviving traditional play.
