' A -well known golf professional was asked recently the reason for "begin- ner's luck" on the links. While his immediate answer is probably not to be taken too seriously, he has un- doubtedly hit home for many cases. "The trouble with many players Just starting the game is too much advice," he said. "Golf is a game of skill. Every stroke must be timed and the length of each stroke must be calcu- lated. The beginner is dazzled with the complexity of the game and be- wildered with the unknown. And how solicitous his friends are!â€" Tips come hard and fast. Every player of his acquaintance starts to give advice, little secrets of the game. "The first round is usually pretty poor; the second eighteen is a little better. Then the game improves, un- til the "friends^ commence their work. Five or six better methods of holding the club, or teeing a ball, or Slicing remedies pour forth. With this huge -stock of knowledge the novice sets Jtorthi As one new tip fajls, he tries another and another and another. Soon he has lost the little precision which he might have gained by chang- ing every few strokes. His game will stay poof then, unless one set .of tips proves worth while. "My advice to the beginner is to start out with a player who knows a little more about the game than the average player and-to stick to the sug- gestions given him by the first teacher, until a man whom he knows to be de- pendable comes along with more in- struction. This constant changing has been the ruin of many a good player's game and has delayed many a novice for months in his progress. A clu professional, if available, should be employed for the first few rounds, but any good player who knows the game will do." * '*'. * * * * Skokie members competed in the qualifying round of the Pour Towns cup last Saturday. S. L. Williams, in the Olencoe Match, was low Qualifier with a card of 84-11-73. Several play- ers finished with net cards under this mark, but started with a larger hand- icap. D. S.
