Golf has been often diagnosed as a
malignant, conta gious disease. And
there have been many prescriptions
from the laity for its cure. There is

fered to a Topeka golfer, which is
here passed on for the beenfit of the
sufferers from the malady who would
fain be normal again.
One of the most severe cases of
golfitis in Topeka lives in a second
floor apartment, with a front porch

noise of a whip. He put more and
more force into the swings. He played
eighteen holes of imaginary golf on
that front porch in five minutes. Time
and actuality faded away. He didn't

the street, nor the uneasy movements
on the porch below him, where his
landlady sat.

landlady called from below, and
brought him back to prosaic reality.
