CHAPTER I3-America to the Fore.

TIP to the spring of 1919 golf had
- been a rather specialized sport,
if | may use the term; it had not
yet taken the grip on public fancy
that it did the following summer.
The year 1920, however, was a ban
ner season. Many new courses were
constructed, thousands of people
who had never thought of playing
golf began to haunt the links and
golf widows multiplied. 1t was in
the newly awakened international
Ihase Of the game that the greatest
interest was shown.
On my return to America that sum
mer I found a number of British
players already on hand, most of
them planning to compete in the
Evening star., 1924-03-22

Well, from my experience. | have
noticed that if one sees a golfer who
is careless in dress he IS in most
cases careless in his way OF playing
golf. By that l mean one can
nearly always tell a good average
PLAYER by his dress and walk on the
golf course. Whether this actually
has anything to do with his play, |
don't know. OF course, trimness IN
appearance will give man little
more confidence and pride in him
SELF, and it may help the game he
plays from this standpoint. You will
doubtless be able to think of excep--
tions to what I have said here-good
golfers who dressed like tramps and
beautifully dressed golfers who never
moved off the clubhouse reranda.
