...player, was, in my experience, an almost sure indication that he would not be a good instruction coach. I saw it tried again and again with the same result. A similar situation has proved more or less true in golf. The teachers of such great players as "Bobby" Jones, Alexa Stirling, and others have not been tournament winners themselves, and I believe I am safe in saying that the outstanding professional golfers can point to few, if any, of their pupils who have also risen to great success. A rough and ready sort of reasoning seems to fit this condition...
Other putts, of course, had contributed to this result, particularly some made by Edith Cummings, Mary K. Browne, Dorothy Campbell Kurd (late titleholder), Bernice Wall of Oskosh, and Alexa Stirling Fraser. It was by deadly putting that a certain Mrs. Letts of Illinois put out Mrs. Hurd. Miss Cumming's uncertainty with her littlest club was her only demonstrable inferiority to Miss Collett in a semi-final match so close that neither was at any time more than one up, but by that score Miss Collett won. Mrs. Fraser, as Alexa Stirling, three time national champion, long ago demonstrated...
...golfers, women who had come to compete in the Canadian Women's Open. Accoutred perhaps less gaudily than MacFarlane (above) but assuredly more seasonably, in homespun skirts and woolie whatnots, they played for four days, played until all the able U. S. women had been eliminated? until only Mrs. Alexa Sterling Fraser was left to face Miss Macken-sie?until Mrs. Fraser too, at the end of 26 holes, succumbed...
...single thundercloud darkening Champion Edith's horizon at Providence. The vigorous, accurate game she played in winning the Western title, a fortnight ago, would more than suffice to conquer Marion Hollins, even though the Metropolitan champion has played more keenly this year than since her 1921 championship. Alexa is sidetracked. Mrs. Vanderbeck, of Philadelphia, however steady, cannot withstand Edith in a fighting mood, as was demonstrated in the semifinals of last year's title play, when Edith battled her from dormie two to a win at the 20th. There are Mrs. Hurd and Mrs. Barlow of Philadelphia, Louise...
...Than Alexa Stirling there is no finer mistress of golfing style in this country. Glenna, masculine of wrist, short of swing, comes next. Edith's game, while steady and dependable, is more loosely constructed than theirs, but she makes up the difference in temperament. Like brother Dexter, the intercollegiate champion, she is bursting with boyish energy and spirit. Her interests are not confined to golf alone...
