individual Glory

Golf championships today are
played and won, not so much for
the individual glory of the indi-
vidual competing professionals,
but for that of the golf-equip-
ment and sporting goods houses
they represent. The companies
gamble with their professionals,
invest in them, speculate with
them, and support them by pay
ing them retainers and sustain
ing salaries
The Open championship to-
day, for instance, has become q
r)ut Of golf statesmen, company
scouts, spies and cut-throat COM
petitors for the services of un-
known players who look as
though they might have a
chance to win. It is as important
to Spalding or Wilson or Hagen
or Croydon or McGregor that
the winner of the Open cham
pionship should have played
their clubs or balls as it used to
be to the Steinway or Knabe
piano companies to have the
great concert artist use one of
their products when performing.
More so in fact. Because, remem-
ber, in the background is that
vast army of dumb golfers wait
ing for it's taliSman.
The Washington times., 1939-01-26
Patience Needed

The average American bust.
neSs-man golfer has little time
for the game and even less pa
tience. He either does not know
or will not learn that to swing
a golf club in proper arc calls
for more coordination, timing,
instruction and practice than
perhaps any other sport with
the possible exception of pole
vaulting. There is actually only
one way to make a golfer, pro-
vided a man has any aptitude
for games and coordination
and isn't trying to swing past a
bay window that obscureS his
vision of the ball at his feet.
And that is by good instruction,
patience and practice.
The man setting out to learn
the game can always acquire
the first because we have the
best golf teachers in the world.
But the other two? That is
something else again. This be-
ing a mechanical era, the
player expects his faults and
defects to be corrected and COM
pensated for by his tools. The
golf club designers have done
this as far as they are able by
giving him irons and woods so
matched, weighted, and bal
anced that they all swing alike.
The only trouble is that he
swings them all badly. And
they have invented and per-
fected an enormous heavy
headed blasting club that will
explode a ball out of sand if the
wielder hits within a foot of it,
and explodes most of the trap
out with it. This is the closest
thing to a foolproof golf club
yet marketed and it has made
the duffer happier because he
has no interest whatsoever in
the delicacies and nicetieS of
niblick play out of a bunker.
All he wants to do is get out.
From the point of view of
strict truth, none of these
promises made in national golf
advertising are false. The clubs
and the golf balls will do exactly
what their manufacturers say
they will do-when in the hands
of an expert. If they tell you
that their ball will outfly by
IS yards or more any other ball
manufactured, it will. It has
been tested against other stand
ard balls on a driving machine.
But the sucker doesn't hit his
ball the way a driving machine
does. No, golf advertising can
be accused of no more than
opportuniSm.
The Washington times., 1939-01-26

refuge behind the weariSome
and eternally repeated: Keep
your head down. Look at the
ball. You looked up," as the
explanation of all dubbed shots,
it is because it is about the only
thing the duffer can under
stand. OF the 80 wrong things
he did on a shot, it IS a cinch
that the first one was that he
lifted his head. Keeping his
head down is also one of the
most difficult things he is called
upon to do.
If I went to Tommy Armour,
or Mac Smith, or Bobby Cruick-
shank, or any of the great golf
teachers and said: Look here,
I've got a little time and l really
want to improve my game" the
first thing they would say to
me would be: Are you willing
to stay off the course for six
months and practice?" Some
of those men could teach golf
to a wooden Indian if given half
a chance.
But their pupils don't give
them any chance at all. They
are helping to pay the profeS-
Sional's salary at the club and
a nice additional fee for a half
hours lesson as well and they
want miracles. Half a dozen les
sons and away they go, hack
ing, stabbing, lunging. coughing,
shanking, topping and fluffing.
Three months of that and they
come back for a session or two
with the pro to get straight
ened out"
And because these things are
so, the golf industry turns over
some so million dollars annual
ly, and championship tourna-
ment golf is no longer sport, but
business. The United States
Open golf championship, which
used to be strictly a sporting
proposition, has now, willy-nilly,
been taken over by the manufac-
turers of golf equipment as the
annual commercial and advertis-
ing sweepstakes.

CHAPTER XIV

If the father of modern
chemistry was the search in
ancient laboratories for the phil.
osophers' stone, and the dis
covery of the Pacific Ocean the
result of a similar quest for the
Fountain of Youth, then the
golf industry in the United
States is based on the seeking
of a magic implement or means
by which a semi-portly broker
or merchant can stand on the
first tee Of his golf club on q
Sunday morning, lash out q 800
yard drive straight down the
middle, and follow it up with
an iron shot that splits more
than three puts on any green.
The game Of golf is a mystery,
a much of a one as the universe
and the solar system, electricity,
or ionic affinitieS. Because he
cannot solve it, the busy Amer
lean golfer turns to magic, cure
all gadgets. old wives tales,
books, witch doctors and medi-
cine men. He is forever search
ing for some secret that he
fondly believes will be the key
to the miraculous tranSmuta-
ton Of himself from an execrable
duffer and golf clown to an en-
We'd player who can tour any
layout in circa eighty strokes
or less. Golf makes a simple

intelligent person. Result

Hundreds Of thousands of
people in Bob Jones time trailed
in his wake and pursued him
over hill and dale because they
thought he was a magician. He
had the Touch, and they were
trying to pinch it from him.

feet. his hips, the angle of his
head, argued and discussed

Farewell to Sport
Golf Too Mysterious
For Busy American
Businessman

Ace in the Bag Is an Ace in the
Hole! Il play Ace Irons by pref.
erence," says Angus McPar,
nineteen thirty-umpth Ope n
Champion. Ace Irons, with
their "Metronome Rhythm Bal
ance," will take strokes off
YOUR game too. Play the irons
the champions play.
Selling golf balls is a rela-
lively simple matter since the
American golfer is the worlds
biggest wastrel and has no pa
tience with looking for a lost
ball. He is afraid the fourSome
behind will catch up and want
to go through; he is afraid of
being thought cheap by his own
foursome if he spends too much
time looking. And he likes the
look and feel Of a new ball just
out of the wrapper. He never
acquires an affection for an old
and battered pellet that has
served him well. He buys new
ball practically every time he
starts round, or a box Of three.
More than sixteen million golf
balls are sold annually in the
United States. No wonder it is
important to have the winning
ball.
Selling golf clubs is a little
more difficult because actually
a well-made, well-balanced set of
golf clubs, particularly irons,

have already owned three diff
ferent sets, and so have most
poor or average players.
Most of the star golfers
that is, the top-flight profession
ais who meet annually for the
most dramatic and best-adver-
tiSed of all tournaments, the
National Open, as we'll as play
ing on the winter circuit in the
South-are under contract to
manufacturers to play their
products, clubs and balls, etc.
In addition they may have been
paid retainers for the golf shoes
they wear, the hose, the under
wear, and the shirts. That
takes care Of stars, or many OF
them
But in the field of from go to
10 golfers that tee off on the
first day of the Open, there are
a great many guys named Joe
of no particular past reputation
or record. And there is no tell
ing when some hitherto un-
known will suddenly go crazy,
hook up four low rounds. and
win the tournament. Almost in
variably one of these unknowns
is leading the field at the end
of the first or second day.
The golf company must make
up its mind what it will do.
There is still time, the evening
of the second day the Open is
played over a three-day period,

18 holes each of the first two,
and 36 the last), to grab the un-
known, if someone else hasn't
grabbed him first, and sign him
up. Nobody has been paying any
attention to what ball or clubs
he has been using. The boys
don't like to change sticks in the
middle of a tournament, but
with the right price it can be
done, especially if our friend Joe
is broke, and in nine cases out Of
ten he is.
The trick, of course, is to sign
him before he has won, or at
least to purchase an option for
negotiations at reasonable terms
if he does win. The price is cheap
on the first or second day of
the tourney, and it is a hundred
to one that Joe Unknown has
thumbed his way to the show
and is living in some cheap
rooming house downtown, and
$3.50, or even $50, sounds like a
million to him-maybe. For
there is also the chance that
Joseph will elect to gamble a
little on himself. If he signs
now, it is $3.50, or perhaps
even 5000, in ready cash. But,
on the other hand, if he doesn't
sign, and wins the tournament
and the title, he can get any
where from $4,000 to $500 for
joining up, depending on the
situation. If he takes the ready
cash offer before he has won
and then blows up, as perhaps
he fully expects to do, the joke
is on the company. On the other
hand, if he signs for chicken
feed and then goes on to win,
the joke is on him.
