All bi,g golf championships are severe on competitors. The mental strain is enormous, and when physical fatigue is added to the burden it becomes insupportable. As is well known, Miss Joyce Wethored went off into hysterics after the last championship she won. At Gleneaglos Miss Wilson, the winner, finished the championship a stone lighter than when she entered it. Is is not difficult to understand the decision of Miss Wethered and Miss Wilson not to play in any more championships under any circumstances. It is just a question whether any woman should expose herself to the stress and strain of such an ordeal, but there is no reason at all why the competitors should be made to suffer undue physical fatigue by the selection of courses of inordinate length. The course at rrleneaglcs would have been quite adequate and sufficiently testing had the tees been advanced to bring the holes down to moderate length and bring irons into use for the Second shots instead of Wpods.
