GOLF ISs POPULAR BECAUSE IT IS LIKE THE GAME OF LIFE Golf is a game why men learn to | eet over their love. It calls for those qualities that we associate with real manhood: Deciâ€" sion, accuracy, nerves of steel, perâ€" severance, self control. Take your eye an instant off the ball, let your wrist turn ever so litâ€" tle on the downward swing, forget to follow throughâ€"and you top or slice or pull your stroke and are in trouble; in sandpit, bunker, swamp or bracken. ~Everyone gets into trouble on the golf course. The test is getting out of it. That‘s when nerve and steadiâ€" ness and determination tell. That, too, is life. For a ‘bad shot the golfer wcan curse and ‘blame the wind, the sun, a bad lie, a disturbing meotion. of caddie. Or he can analyze the false stroke and not make just that mistake again.
