Golf will getcha If you don't watch
out Spool the game, if you wish; call
it senseless. childish and a lot of
other things along the same line But
don't tempt fate by clutching a club
and taking even one swipe at the ball
If you do, you are lost forever to the
anti-goIfing clan.
Golf is a game whose devotees are
made up largely of men who used to
think that of all the silly games golf
was the silliest. They jeered at the
golfers, they ridiculed the game. And
then, one day, they got club in their
palms, took a swing at the ball-and
now they are golfing fends.
Golf is unlike any other athletic
game. The golfing fever attacks you
the very second that you take your
first swing. Other games. like tennis,
baseball, bowling, hockey, football.
must be played often before IL be-
comes something of a mania. But
golf is different.
why does golf ensnare with the ra-
pidity and the tenacity of a drug2
That's a question that no man ever
has been able to answer satisfactorily.
But 1t does.
When you take your first swing at
the golf ball one of three things hap
pens. You miss the ball altogether,
you hit it a mile or so after meeting
it squarely. or you top" it and send
II dribbling for distance of only a
few feet In any case the fever. at
tacks and you are victim.
If you should happen to get in a
mighty drive, you become all puffed
up over your skill. 'Luck?' Not a
bit. That drive you made just shows
that you knew what you were talking
about when you said that il was
silly, childish game. What's that?
The other fellows insist ii was luck
and that you can't duplicate that shot
on your next try. Well, you'll show
'em. And you take another swipe.
And from that time on golf en-
snares you.
Probably, like thousands of others.
you miss the ball completely on the
first swing and plow up a yard of
earth behind or alongside the ball.
That foozle is the means of enslav-
ing you because you argue with your
self that your miss was a bit Of bad
luck-and nothing else. The game
seems so simple in your mind that
you can't figure out that IL needs
skill to meet that ball squarely and
fully. So you lay It TO bad luck--or to
accident
Missing the first swing puts you on
your mettle. You take another swing
TO convince everybody. including your
self that it's an easy matter to hit
that ball and drive IL over the hills
and far away. Chances are that you'll
either miss the second swing or that
you'll 'tops your baD That second
failure exasperates you more. You
keep on trying-and by the time that
you've met the ball the way II should
be met. the golf fever viii be RI ging
in your veins You're a victim.
Golf looks like "a simple game To
the outsider Il ssems like the simplest
of tficKs to soak that little ball Sofi
