 By VERNE WICKHAM Events which cast their shadows before them may be popular and all that, but golfers who case their shadow before, behind and all around them are not popular on any golf course.
 This aggravating golfer has just holed his putt and is standing around on the green. watching the rest of the golfers putt and his shadow is covering the cup! You know the type that stands around carelessly looking over the course or up at he fleecy clouds. You look for the cup and finally dis cover it tucked away in the shadow some place between the left arm and the body and then just as you get ready to take a whack at the half hidden cup he moves around and completely covers it.
 Late in the afternoon it is espe- cially hard to keep your shadow where it belongs at all times. but if you will be careful about this point it will stamp you as a considerate golfer quicker than most any other little bit of etiquet.
 It should be . habit just as much as picking your ball out of the cup before the rest of them putt. Don't walk across the line to putt. Watch your shadow and keep it still on the green!
