NEEDS ONLY WEEK
...' TO GET into TRIM
Pros, As Rule, Play Too Much,
Walter Thinks-Pruning
His Activities.
BY WALTER HAGEN,

BRUSH open GOlI SldIlplOH.
~ OBBY JONES is training for the
- amateur championship at Del
Monte the same way he trained
IL for the open at Winged Foot,
where 1t worked effectively for
him.
He is giving himself about week at
Pebble Beach, and with this practice
behind him and no serious golf since
the open Bobby will be formidable.
Bobby profits by not being forced to
play too much golf under high pres
sure, especially as he grows older. He
has more reserve for the big events.
The leading professionals are unable
to do this, as they have to make
living at the game and are constantly
under strain. Horton Smith tells me
that nobody but himself really knows
what it took out of him last Winter,
when he won something like 10 tourna-
mentS.
Not Playing So Much.
7 am not playing in as many open
tournaments as formerly. I realize that
grow / year older every - months,
and if am to retain any sort OF punch
for the big events 1 must stay away
from lot of the smaller ones.
That is one reason I didn't go to
Milwaukee for the Western open. There
scored very Iowa score that would
have taken plenty of mental as we'll as
physical energy to get down to.
When Joe Kirkwood and I started
playing exhibitions We did So holes a
day. but I have cut down to 18, and
about five matches a week. realize
that as time passes the body will not
stand too much. especially in the Ameri-
can climate notice that the old-time
British professionals last a long time
longer than I think possible in this
climate.
Since our return from Europe. Horton
Smith and have played 40 exhibition
matches and in 2 national champion
ships. We won 35 of these matches,
lost and tied 2. We have to give the
best show we can get on the road, but
We get too much golf.
There are so many tournaments now
that if golfer attempts to take them
all in he will wear himself out In a
short time. The Winter schedule Is
more Furnishing all the time.
