THIS letter from D. A. Brauner,

brings up several angles on the tourna-

of the startling things which happen
one must appreciate that golf is a
game requiring perfect coordination
between mind and muscle-at least to
the extent that a haraSsed mind will
not prevent the muscles from perform

There is no other way of giving
the arc of the swing plenty of

clubs lose their popularity.
Maureen Orcutt, the North and
South champion. who Is in our midst
playing series of informal games
over local courses, never has played
anything but wooden shafts, and to
hear her tell 1t she never will. The
personable young lady from New Jer-
sey. who hits the ball with all the
power of one of the better male play
ers is strictly q wooden shaft user
from her wooden headed clubs right
down to the putter which she uses so
effectively.
And now Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes. the
Middle Atlantic champion, who went
to steel shafts two years ago, is getting
herself a set of wooden shafted iron
clubs, following the lead Of her mentor
Freddie Mcleod. The little Colum-

them fairly well, but nowadays Freddie

from coast to coast for the bunker
shots he plays with this shovel-nosed
implement.
DOB BARNETT, the popular Chevy
- Chase mentor, has stood steadfast
through the storm of steel shafts
and never has gone OF the wooden
standard. Most of the Chevy Chase
members have strung along with Bob
on the wooden shaft proposition, and
you probably would find fewer steel
shafted clubs at Chevy Chase than at

The general sentiment among the
pros IS that steel Is fitted for the big
hitters-those who propel the ball a
long way. but that most golfers prefer
wood for the feel" and its torsional
qualities. Miss Orcutt, with her wooden
shafts, and the remarkable exhibition
of golf she has shown around Wash
