Julius Boros the new open Champion was invited to play though ineligible accepted Anil then withdraw leaving the p. . Looking a bit ridiculous. Such an incident was Surpris ing Only because of the fact that their new Man Fred Cor Coran was on the Job the whole time. Corcoran a sure instinct in such and it must be they did not consult him. They had belter do so in the future. Aside from the Boros most of the beefing was done by the name stars beaten in the two eighteen Hole rounds on the first Day the so Calliel Black Friday. They were beaten in most cases by Home or club pros and in All cases by lesser golfers. The cries of pain were pitiful hear. The club pro has got a Heck of a nerve come Down to big one and the .

The great Samuel Jackson Snead a Champion no less got a measly Hundred Bucks. Something ought to be done about it. Anybody can get knocked off in an is Hole match. One feels deep sympathy for these stricken gentlemen. Still it might no t be altogether unfair to remind them that the . Is an organization of club professionals not of touring performers.

Long time now longer than the memory of the oldest tourist among them 18 holes has constituted a round of Golf. It does not really seem so unreasonable that big men of the game should he asked to engage the Little ones in a. Round of Golf.

Extra Revenue Chicago major league base Ball clubs derive one third of their income from concessions. With All golfers from the lowest Dom to the highest. The struggle to avoid Locking somewhere m the mind or body at some stage the action is everlasting to human being Ever will be exempted from it. But it in t such a Tough thing co Battle when you go about it in the right Way. You must make up your mind to really do things not just intend to do them then you must select the right thing to do for each bit of ten Sion. Tension seems to be at its greatest and lasts longer in the mid Section. Worse yet it is harder to detect in this part the body. You May think your midsection is at ease when it is pretty Well locked up. You May have a certain amount of ease be Ore starting your swing Only to up As you Start Down to Waid the Ball. In any Case it is a Good ground on which to Battle out the matter of tension mainly since it in t too difficult to get desired results and the rewards Are greater. An ounce of ease in your mid Section affords a wealth of All things Good about your whole swing. Among these Are Freedom of action in your hips shoulders arms and hands As Well As smooth Ness Power and accuracy in All of your movements. To establish and maintain an easy midsection you need Only prevent it from moving directly away from the. Bail. I i the Best Way to accomplish this is by keeping the midsection out toward the Ball As much As pos at All times. This is just reverse of what you would do most of the time or naturally. This More upright body position will afford you More Over All free briefs Golf winnings up to 1952 Sam Snead won 000 As a pro golfer. 28th season the new York giants pro Grid team will play their 28th season in 1952.
