^OLF IS A SPORT ALL ITS <vi In the past 10 or 15 years, golf has taken a tremendous in- < rease in popularity as has most snorts. but it still ranks all to itself in many respects. Golfers an- a rare breed that don’t seem t t»e affected by weather, dis<no aged enough to quit over poor showings, conquers with excellence all the time, mix good s.h«'s and bad on the same rounds or even holes as well as nimv other little oddities that ate a normal pait of the game.

prove their game by watching Arnold Palmer or Jack Nicklaus boom down the fairway or read a green perfectly to dump in the 30 foot putts under pressure that brings the big money in the touraments. But STILL ALMOST every week end, the linishing holes of a tourney are on one of the networks for those- who care to watch th io -port. In viewing golf on the tube, one sees just a few holes of the course, usually four or five, sees onlv those on the end of the line, which usually is the tourney leaders, play these holes, and usually loose the path of the little white sphere after it leaves the club until it plops on the

green or fairway or at least hits the ground if the camera has picked up its flight. YET THE FASCINATION OF seeing Palmer, Nicklaus and the other touring pros holds some kind of fancy over the vieweis. Maybe it is that the same hole that Palmer took a double boogey on. you might par in a round of golf. It could be just seeing these men react with outstanding shots under pressuer of knowing that as much as ten or fifteen thousand dollars can be riding on each shot. It is a sport that is quite a spectator sport in person only if the big names are competing. The person who watches a little league baseball game would follow a couple of duf ers around a golf course for kicks. GOLF IS A GAME THAT almost any can piay. It has become a lazy man’s game in one respect as electric golf carts can tote a man around a four mile course with a minimum of steps Most prefer to walk the links to get that extra exercises and use this entertaining method of getting out in the sun for fun and exercise. THE SAME PERSON WHO wouldn’ walk to the end of the block for a loaf of bread or bottle of milk on a nice spring day, will walk 6800 yards through wet grass, a steady drizz with a very old breese blowing following the little white ball. A golfer will take to the course “away from it all and then business for four hours as he is touring the premises with someone else. The mildest of people who never get excited will jump with joy when they hole that big putt or get mad and throw their clubs when they hit behind the ball and dribble it a few yards. GOLF HAS DEVELOPED INto a real lucrative game. On a professional basis, the prizes have jumped so much that competition is more than keen to get into the tournament trail. For each 140 or 150 that tee off in these tourneys there are hundreds and hundreds of others who didn’t make the grade. Twenty years ago and further back, fourteen places might be paid in a tourney. Now. fourteenth place can still be reaping profits in the four figure bracket. Payoffs are so much better or hat more can afford to travel the circuit even if they don’t finish i nthe top 10 or twenty each meet. Look at the total money winners so far this year and see what kind of money these men are making from strictly golf playing, not counting the sidelines that have developed for these men with endorsements and other businesses. FOR THE MANFFACTURing end of th game, the money income is almost unlimited. Everyone that plays golf has quite an investment in their equipment with it not uncommon for a man to sink S4OO or SSOO dollars in dubs, bags, small equipment and a cart to carry the clubs. Golf has become big time in money in about everyway and the continued growth has accounted new golf courses over the years and the end doesn’t seem to be in sight. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT golf is a fine sport and a great conditions for manv who never get any exeicise. Add to it that it is a .-p rt that can be familv enjoyed, people of different abilities can compete < n a mon- even basis due to han heap an Iso forth, and \a u have of the most wh< Ie: me. entertaining sport for everyone’s participation that could ever bi hep.-d for. Nothing satisfies an-on- like a o H od enjoyable is holes of golf on a beautiful day. Beauteous Betty .said she had a girl friend who was so n- rvou when she got married she didn’t know whether to say, “I do” “I have.” or “I will.” WORIH HABIT It’s the Shadow Os a doubt that keeps the worrier f rom h avjng a gho t of a chance.
