dO. / sometimes wonder what the
goifing public thinks about me.
They must picture me as some poor,
benlghted oid cuss, staggering
around the courses of the country
with a forlorn look and broken
heart. AS a matter of fact. I'm a
nretty lucky golfer. I have won
more than my snare of good cham
plonShlpS, and you can't kick about
finishing second in such things as
the u. S. Open, the British Open
and the Masters
On Craig's suggestion looked
into his past performances, and
what he said was truC-he has won
many a good title. To name a few
he has won there are the Los An
geles Open, the Metropolitan Omen
(he got that last year with the
all-timc hole tournament score
of 264), the Pasadena Open (tWiCc)
the San Francisco Match PLAY
Open, the Augusta Open, the Pine
Valley Open, the Australian Open.
the Hawaiian Open. and the New
Jersey PEA four times. And there
are. a dozen others.
After l had talked to Craig I
talked to Mrs Wood.
Honestly the stories they write
about Craig picture him as a
beaten, thWarted man. she said
Actually, he is one of the hap
piest men in the world. He never
has fretted or fumed about losing
championships by a shot or two
We never talk golf after a round
IS finished Even in those yeals of
1885 and 1886, Wnen he played SO
badly he couldn't qualify for any
thing, he never grumbled or grous-
ed He works on the theory that
you get just what you deserve in
golf. If you three putt it was your
own fault. IF you get an eagle it
was your own skill that brought
it about
Il will be so happy to read a story
about him that doesn't go on about
his hard luck. Because we don't
feel that he had had hard luck.
We feel we're aWfully lucky"
Thus ends my story for today.
