GOLF COMES TO ITS
OWN WITH HE-MAN
Best of Rising Players Come
From Public Links.
Washington, I). C.—Not so long ago
golf was quite generally regarded as
a game for idlers who were too lazy
to take up any strenuous sport and
for elderly gentlemen who had been
deluded into the belief that pottering
around u meadow' after a little white
pill might add a few years to their
lives.
When women began to take it up it
was even more disparaged by chesty
individuals who prided themselves on
being he-men. They laughed at the
Idea that It was a form of athletics
and called It cow-pasture croquet.
They derided any one who took it
seriously. It couldn’t he real exercise,
they said, because those who played
the game hired a caddy to carry the
golf bags and clubs and chase the
balls, which was the only hard work
involved. It couldn't be a lest of skill,
because any one could knock a ball
a few hundred yards, walk up to it,
hit it again, and then baby it int o
a hole in the ground.
They found the golfer’s costume of
knickerbockers especially mirth-pro¬
voking. Grown men cavorting around
In short pants!
And this thing of using a different
club every time you hit the ball. What
rot. A bat’s a bat when you play
baseball, isn’t It? You get one you
like and then you stick to It until you
break it or somebody swipes it, don’t
you? You don’t use a dozen different
cues when you play billiards or pool,
do you?
Too Polite on Links.
And then there’s the business of
being so polite—the golf etiquette
stuff. More rot! Mustn’t talk or
move while anybody’s making a shot.
If you do you get two slaps on the
wrist, or maybe three! What would
baseball be if you couldn’t razz the
batter, try to rattle the pitcher and
bawl out the bird who. pulls a boner?
A game’s a game and not a tea party!
And when anybody gets in your way,
you can’t yell “Gettheh—loutofthere
andlatsomehodyplayascanplay!" You’ve
got to say “Fore, please!’’ and "May
we go through?"
But the day came when some of the
strenouH boys tried playing golf. They
didn’t do It because they were inter¬
ested or ever could be interested in
the game, but just as a personal fa¬
vor to someone who’d been coaxing
them to try it, or maybe just to show
the game up as the lot of condemned
foolishness that everybody with horse
sense knows it is. Perhaps they
thought they would give a little dem¬
onstration of what regular guys could
do if they condescended to swat the
ball a few times.
At any rate they tried it and they
discovered it is not a joke.
Today golf Is everybody’s game.
It is no longer-—if it ever was—
merely a rich man’s pastime. It is not
necessary to belong to an expensive
and exclusive country club in order to
enjoy it. The great increase in the
number of public links has brought the
game within the reach of practically
every one who desires to take it up.
And when tournament time* comes
around the public links players are
found among the contestants on the
courses of the finest private clubs.
There Is no aristocracy of golf, no
snobbishness, no exclusiveness. From
England comes the story of a member
of royalty, a duke and three of his
chums playing a match game with four
coal miners. It was a regular chal¬
lenge affair and the miners won after
a nip and tuck struggle.
