To those who still think of golf as an old. man ’3 game this piece of informa- tion may be, startlin‘e. 'l‘he exper- ience, however. is not peculiar to Jones, as most good players have isimilar experiences. Golf is not so strenuous as rugby nor baseball. but. it is a hundred times more wearing. To play golf well demands sustained concentration, and it is this feature; which strains and drains the nervous system. If one starts a champion- ship in poor physieal condition, be as- sured that a week's golf will expose the weak spots and set the nerves a- jumping. 'Walkinq seven or eight miles in ‘five and a, half or six hours should not. lhe strenuous Work under ordinary conditions. but when, in addition to this the player must not allow his at- ‘tention to tlurtuate from the game in ‘lhand, one (ran readily understand “what a strain it is. M'orry in golf 9 .has the same t'atal et‘feuts on one s E5 what, a strain it is. M'urry m gun has the same fatal effects. on 0110’s :rmneas it exercises (m one’s health. There is no general regimen that i can he applied to all. Each personij must discover his own physical pe-lr (wuliarities. There is no sullistitute for . sleep and proper food. \But it is far better to dance or do anything: in . order to induce sleep. even though . this means retiring: at a late hour than to retire early and lie awake, lfretting and playing the game several times. One recalls a Varsity hockey team which after losing.r the first game in the finals for the. Allan cup, were taken to a dance so that they would not have time nor opportunity to brood over the loss, and thus fret themselves into a bad condition for the next. game. Brains. are the chief asset of any game. including life's ‘batrtle. One should not, however. indulge in sharp practices. A player should by no means hinder the actions of an oppon- l ent, that. one need not do anything to l assist. him. 'The careful player on a wind hole. where the opponent has the honor, will not. take the chosen club from the. bag until the other has played. Nor is a player to Iblame after playing a spared shot with the wood if his opponent goes far over the green with his. JUEIUIZJUIâ€"qu-I’ v L.’ The Question of Luck Each player should know his own limitations. And no matter what his opponent. does. he should play his own game. This certainly is the rule to fulluw in medal play. Luelk enters into the. game to a great extent. ‘Sume players have the reputatiun of being lucky or wtherwise.

It is said ,in militaw tacti1's1 that the best. defense is a. stmng offensive. I think this applies to most gamesl even where tl1e1e is team plav. In hocke) some teams resort to the four- lman defense. especially atter win- 'ning the first game. But it is surâ€" prising ho‘w often such tactics result in the loss of the series. Walter Hagen is perhaps as suc- cessful a golfer as there is t11dav.He never takes any thing fox granted. He tries for everything, and nexer con- sidem a match over until the final putt is holed. - ’ ‘0 ’1 3h l . Anything may happen in golf: it is far better to suspend judgment until the hole or match is finished. Other- wise one is apt to get many startling surprises. Ouimet, I venture to say, got one at the shont 13th hole at Flossmore in his match with Marston. Ouimet played a perfect. shot, his ball landed at the hole, coming to. rest be- CANADIAN mu I!

Marston played an indifferent shot. which miraculous» 1y escaped going into a bunker, some say by striking the leg (If a boy scout. T he 'ball rested 35 feet on a slwping green alhove the hole.

Some Conclusions One must play the game that suits the course, and one should remember that'holes are as easily lost as non. At all times it. is profitable to keep: a. cool and eollee'ted head, and play tthe shots that are within one 's albility. lBeeanse one is down is, no reason for ,lieeoming exrited and doing or at- tempting l'oolhard)‘ shots. Hang on like the. British bulldog, and. as a rule. the other fellow weakens a little. Matehes. generally speaking; are not lwon ‘hy a player's 'hrilliarrt work, hnt thy the other t'ello‘w‘s mistakes. Sometimes a player feel: nervous during: one tournament and all right f'o' another. I think that one's phy- lsi'eal condition has a great deal to do lwith his game. “1“] ms game. 1 21111 (eitain it is for better to get even four hours of sound sleep than t\\'el\ 9 hour s of (li.
