Becoming impatient they called upon
one of the pretty young women play
ers who has been making quite a rec
ord in Kansas golf circles recently.
Seeing a chance to match her game
with real he-players she readily ac-
cepted the invitation. The game was
on. Noticing how fretful and earnest
the men took their shots she inquired:
Why not enjoy the game? You
play like professionals
Say" spurted out one of the vaca-
tion-widowers, Where do you find so
much levity in such an expensive
sport?"
Until the last hole she argued this
remark in her own mind. After the
showers and the evening "doll-up" one

The two are able to fight down one
mental hazard that is a severe detri-

bothered by the gallery. After facing
many thousand critical audiences the
senator and governor have no con-

other day.
The writer anticipated a little in
side on national and state politics.
Nothing but the darned ball." the
caddy replied.
And that tells the story of golf. A
golf game is the poorest recreation
for business men who expect to get
out in the open and settle their bust
ness problems. But it is the best
place on earth to forget everything
but the little elusive "pill' that ever
brings problems of stance, form and
hazards.
