She added: “A woman who marries a famous golfer marries a bunch of front-page headlines and nothing else. I woubln’t marry a golfer again if ho had all the money in the world. “Look at my life! I never saw AValter at all in these last years. It was all golf. He was screwy about golf. Ho lived for it, and so I was left in the cold. Golf wrecked bv heart-throb, and it’s wrecking lots of others. ’ ’ I asked her: “Do you play golf?” She answered: “Sure I do. That’s different. AVomon can take golf in moderation. A man just can’t get it out of his blood-stream. “It seems to me, where men are concerned, golf is a now kind of madness. Mafry a golfer and you’re half-way to the divorce court before you get to the altar. ” Mrs Hagen plans a trip to England during the summer. She expects to stay several months. Her last comment: “And St. Andrew’s won’t see me, sir. No, siroc! ”
