SELF-CONTROL GREAT ASSET

Foozle In Golf Causes Grievous and Abiding Wound—Overzealousness Given as Reason. “Greater,” said Solomon, “is he that ruleth himself than he that taketh a city.” To foozle in golf is to encourage giving up one’s great soul. It is a grievous and abiding wound to the sensitive for which he Invariably curses himself roundly and takes to sackcloth and ashes. When her lord returns from . the links his spouse knows well by his sour dejection that he has sinned ignominiously, he who thought he was master of himself. At such times he will snarl at his best friend, even as the wrongdoer is at war with the world.
