The Mental Switch


"should be game for fun or recrea-
ton and exercise. 1t should have
no other purpose for the millions
who play it. The contest should
never be against any par, but
against your opponent or your oppo-
nents. Suppose you take a six on
the first hole? What difference does
that make if your opponent takes a
seven, and you win It?
"Take the case of the IS, or the
100 or the lilo shooters. They face
Is holes, each hole marked its set
par. So in the main they are fac
ing Is detectives that are largely
beyond their ability. As a result,
they finish with tangled nerves and
low morale. They have missed most
of the fun which the game should
bring them.
In my opinion, there should be
no par figures planted on any hole,
or on any score card. This would
help to bring about the mental
switch needed, to bring more fun
back to the game. They could then
go out and battle with their oppo-
nents, with the wind and the sand,
with the rough and the ponds, with
no hooking ghosts of par following
them around the course"
Craig Wood, Open champion,
backs up this viewpoint.
What Is Par?
What is par, anyway" Wood
asked me. 'Tve seen Jimmy Thorn
son get home with a drive and a
six iron on a hole $40 yards in
length So far as distance goes, that
hole is an easy par four for a Thorn
son, a Snead or other big hitters.
But it is a tough par five for the
90 per cent. Or take that eighth
hole at Oakmont. It is around 265
yards, labeled a par three. That's
the target the average golfer faces.
It doesn't make sense.
$50 let's all forget about par, a
figure that means nothing to the
expert and makes the great major
ity miserable. Let's bring back the
fun and recreation that belong to
golf, including the six or seven-mile
tramp in the open which older men
now need. Let's make it game of
player against player-and not a
game against the score card"
To all of which your correspond
ent subscribes 100 per cent, with
the backing of some 100000 or
more hackers, who have been har-
assed by this will-o'- the-wisp from a
midnight swamp.
Nothing is more heartbreaking to
the average duffer than his battle
against a cold, infexible par. He
can't hope to match it-aIl he can
do is play and perhaps swear.
NetU Prizes
Miami recently came back to join
Los Angeles In another type of mod
ern golf.
The first two prizes were a pound
of coffee and two pounds of sugar.
Big entry list. Why not?
We may have world series where
the winners and losers may split 60
10 for a few barrels of turnips and
cabbage. Even spinach.
The main idea is to keep the ball
rolling, whatever the prize ahead.
Why not put in WhirIaway and Al
sab for a ton of hay?
Easy to Quit
This department has always said
that to quit, toss in the towel, lose
faith in everything, was the easiest
way out.
This is the shining emblem of the
saffron streak.
It is up to this country to see that
the go per cent left carry on-in any
sport they can play that will bring
about the fitness needed and the odd
moments of recreation that can also
help.
And this all works in with the
prime matter of winning the war.

An Illustration

Here's an example. The average
golfer walks to the first tee, on a
440-yard hole, where he sees par
four inscribed on the card. He knows
he can't get home in two strokes. He
is beaten before he starts. He takes
a six and his whole round is spoiled
Son that same hole Snead, Mel
son, Hogan and others are home
with a drive and a six or seven iron.
On 500-yard hole, hard par five
for many players, they are home
with a drive and an iron.
''The point is that the great mass
of golfers are playing against GER
tain fixed figures set for the few
stars. These figures are far out of
reach, where the 90 per cent are
concerned. Yet they keep on bat
ting against impossible situations.
did you ever hear of par in foot
ball? Or baseball? Or tennis? Or
boxing? Bill Tilden never had any
par at which to shoot. He was just
out to beat his opponent.

Nothing can more surely win you Q reputation for charm than Q love. ly speaking voice, You may spend hours on the care of your conn plexlon and figure, yet ruin the whole effect when you begin to talk.
 It may well be that you've never really heard yourself, Then have Q recording made, or hold piece ot cardboard in front of your mouth to act as Q sounding board and cup your ear while you read something cut Of the newspaper
 If your voice B resonant, the tones beautiful and the diction pers feet, don't read another line of this, But if you detect nasal, highs pitched quality, here are a few sug. Restions to improve your voice:
 Correct your breathing by lying flat on your back for Ave minutes each morning and breathing deep y. After . few weeks youIl find that you1l naturally breathe all the way down to your ribs while stand. ing. Try putting your hand over your diaphragm while doing your deep breathing. If you can feel it moving, then you're on the right road.

Yawning volun. tarily several times before you be- gin your reading exercise will relax your jaw, help eliminate fiat tones, and break your tight-lipped habit
