Tee, airway and Green

By CHICK EVANS


 One of my readers has protested against the idea of having public links golfers qualify" in some way before they are turned loose on a course where hundreds seek to play on accommodations that can take care of but a few. The thought was that. because of the congestion. the beginner be made to show that he at least knew how to swing a club.
 While this would aid golfers who are able to move along with their game. there is an element of unfair ness in it for the beginner, for where is he or she to learn how to swing clubs if not on the course? And does the course not belong to the com munity, as much yours as mine? The proper way of going about it is, of course, to take some instruction from professional, but the officials in charge feel that they have no right to tell the citizen that he must do that.
 The logical alternative. it seems to me, is a new city job-that of city golf instructor.
 With the tremendous golf develop ment we are now witnessing, and new public links coming into existence everywhere, l feel sure that it Is but a matter of time only until we have these official golf instructors. The city might pay these instructors a fixed salary and have them teach golf without charge to the pupil, or they might arrange part salary and part fee basis by which the voter could be instructed in golf for very nominal charge per lesson-say 25 cents.
 A @
 Practice Court.
 The city would not require any out door instruction field. A practice court. such as the courts designed for winter school, would do. All the pupil needs is fundamental knowl- edge in the proper way to swing the clubs and he can learn that indoors as we'll as out.
 Under this arrangement the city officials in charge of public golf links would be justified in making those who wished to play such courses prove that they had been in structed and knew enough about the game not to interfere unduly with the pleasures of others on the course. The plan would make better golfers of all those who play the public courses and thus would be a worth while public institution. Golf pro- notes health and any city can well afford to go into the health promo tion business to the extent of city golf instructor.
 I do not want to put myself in the position of being criticized for criti- cizing myself the golf played by many public links players. l want to see golf played by everyone who can possibly get interested i'll it. l am instantly enthusiastic about any body, man. woman, boy or girl, who has or seeks any acquaintance with golf equipment. But the wave of golf is engulfing the country so right now that the golfer on public course finds himself in a position good deal like the pedestrian in the streets who does not own an auto mobile. As Kin Hubbard says, he is liable to get killed by car any time he thinks about something else.
 It's about the same way with the public links golfer who really can play. He is likely to give up the game in despair while wondering what it's all about.
