European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 2, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 the stars and strikes kill Lozik s Orner the name of the game is Golf one of the most fascinating sport sever played by the athletically inclined sportsman. Once you be been bitten by the Golf Bug there s no sports can really compete with Golf As conversational pieces after a round. For one thing Golf like boxing Bowling swimming Tennis and track is More of an individual sport. You Don t have to be on a team to achieve self satisfaction. Also it Sone of the limited number of sports that you can play effectively from Grade school age on up to and past retirement age. For example conversationally golfers rarely Clam up at the 19thhole when they can sputter about How Good or bad their tee shots were. Woods Irons wedges and putters Are the main tool with which they attack Long and Short holes rough or smooth and roiling or Flat fairways fast or slow greens often guarded by Sand traps or water hazards then replay each Hole at the club never run out of fundamentals stance backswing keep your Eye on the balls Wing and follow through Wood and Iron shots off the Fairway coming out of the rough approach shots such As Chipping or wedging or sandblasting. Each shot is a unique experience in itself and there Are some who take the game More seriously than in Scotland one Day a golfer stepped to the first tee and sliced his Ball so badly that it crashed through a window of the clubhouse Way off to the right. He rushed to retrieve his Ball Only to find a half dozen fellow members in a dither of excitement. Darr Idest Ric Hochst in the history of St. A bans marvelled that Ball broke the window it bounced off mrs. Mclntosh s of us knocked Over Mactavish s whisky and soda bounced through another window and broke the Rector s Windshield. Never mind All the chatter said the golfer severely. Where Smy Ball now the big difference everyone who s had a taste of Golf either conversationally or experience Wise can recall a special sort of connection with Golf. I la never forget the Day some eight years ago during my interview with the general manager of a thriving East Texas daily newspaper when he popped a question on Golf that nearly ended the Star of a sports writing career. So you think you know sports asked the Man with a business like expression on his face. Yes sir i replied rather unsure what predicament that answer might get me into. Okay Tell me what is so different about the game of Golf that separates to from practically every the whole idea of Golf went through the gears in my , you hit a miniature Ball with any one of an assortment of clubs Chase it and try to hit it onto a marked smooth piece of ground near a Flag pole then tap it into a Little Hole. Each time you hit the Ball of course you count one stroke. Stroke that must be it. You count strokes rather than Points like in football basketball or shoot for a Tow score rather than a High score Don t you queried the Veteran journalist Why of course. Hheinbuck9view of river9 one of the toughest Well established courses in the Darmstadt Germany area is the Rhein Blick Golf club at Wiesbaden. It s a Beautiful 6,213-Yard from regular men s Teespar-72 layout witha View to Challenge any resort Hill. In fact the German word Rhein Blick Means View of the Rhein Blick is to some of the belter golfers an obstacle course with its Steep rolling Hills tight fairways lined by thickly wooded areas and Sand traps galore. You get a Good idea on the first two no. 1 measures 358 Yards Par four. You tee from a Hill Over another Hill which blocks sight of the Green located slightly to the left at the Bottom of the Hill. The Fairway is in Good Condi Tion All of them Are but has a left to right slant that could spell double trouble for a Slicer. The second Hole rated the third hardest to make in Par four has no level ground until you fight your Way around the dog leg left Fairway to the Green. It s a 423-Yard Hole but they must have measured it As the Crow flies across the Trees. It s All downhill until you Start climbing the last 100 Yards or so Uphill to the a Duffer like me though the course is an Ideal place to play a match because it has a tendency to bring out the worst in smooth strokes who Aren t accustomed to playing Golf on an up and Down speaking it s the Only course i be Ever had the Privi lege of a Luying where i look Forward to the Long Pur five Hole find dread the Short Par three ones. Could it be that my new Golf shoes were made for climbing the four Par five holes measure from regular tees 490, 429, 486 and 404 Yards. The Short ones Are mostly Uphill but no too difficult to reach in Par. Tho 129, 167, 176 and 147-Yard Par threes however Are tougher with either Steep Hills or razor thin fairways from tee to Green leaving Little room for error. A tip for the handle uppers and Short hitters at Plumi Biniek Don worry about the Fellows who generally Boom those 250-300-Yard drives against you elsewhere. You la keep him straight at i their Blick. A slight Hook or gentle slice by the Long hitters can be much More trouble than a Short straight is an equalizer.
