The proportion of time to be spent

present proficiency Of the player l

tween 90 ana 100, - percent or his

II he plays under 80. so percent or the

should still be devoted to practice.
More can he gained from few hours
OF practice than from weeks of ac-
tual play. The chief reason why
most golfers remain In the dubb class
Is that they always play and never
