TstE GAME OF GOLF.
How Exercise May be Dangerous for
Aged Beginners.


Aged Beginners.
The sncer that golf is game
only for those not agile and venture
scma enough for games OF greater
danger has long ago faded from gon
criticism. and now 1t has actually
come to pass that golf is arraigned as
a game dangerous for men who may
be described rs aged It Is said
that if man all through his life has
followed sedentary habits, allowing
his muscles to become weak and
liabby. particularly those muscles IN
the region OF the heart, golf may very
easily prove too severe strain for
his system. But In the pages OF a
golf journal this view Is partially criti-
cised by one who did not begin the
game til he was very near the neigh
borhood OF sixty. He declares that IL
is a matter Of beginning gently, and
he tells us that IN his own case he
does not flnd two rounds day par
ticularIy exhaustlng Al the same
time he confessea that he has always
been an enthusiast for outdoor exer-
else. and Is inclined to think that for
q man who has never taken physical
exercise-rather q rare experience
it may be little exhausting to begin
with. Il is all a matter OF not over
doing il at first. but. unfortunately, 50
attractive is the game that the oldest
beginners are tempted to go in for II
rather more vigorously than is wise.
The result Of all this latest pother
seems TO be that like everything else
in life It is wisdom at the outset to
go slow" and this is a verdict that
''aged beginners should lay 10 heart.
