The discussion relative To golf and
actors, however. is superior to the
usual run of silly season disputes. for
il involves little matter of psychology
of more than hiStriOnlc interest Those
who AXE the affirmative side maintain
that actors cannot play the royal and
ancient game as well as non-actors
because of temperamental unfitness.
and that the peculiar fault OF tempera-
ment which units them is the habit OF
relying for inspiration on the presence
of an audience. In other words. il il
believed by some that a goltnS actor

conclusion that no actor Is good

But the trouble is that some actors
are good golfers and the nicely poised
syllogism fiutters TO the turf. And the
additional trouble is that an actor OFF
