and so personal that obstacles
such as the one Voigt now faces
have been introduced to retard
the player.
He is no rich mans son; he is
only a good golfer. As far as
the logic Of the argument is
concerned, we'd rather see a
nobody socially" make a good
golfer Of himself and even sup
port himself through it, than the
idling son of a rich man become
proficient in the game and use
it for nothing except to get
himself lionized around the
clubs.
And besides, professional golf
ers are not the worst things in
the world. They are not bur-
glars, nor thieves, nor leopards,
nor any other desperate things.
We know dozens of them and
have taken one, Gene Sarazen,
to the White House to visit
President Coolidge. Then we
took him home to see the wife
and kids.
Nobody broke down with a
contagious disease after he left
and the last we heard from the
Dakotas, the President was well
and fishing.
So, even if voigt is a teeny-
weeny professional, he didn't
turn 50 last week or last month.
He's been doing what he now is
for some time; and this matter
could have we'll gone over until
next winter or been attended to
