A Nervous Wreck
Championship golf is the greatest strain in the world of sport, says thirty-three-year-old Leonard Crawley, Cambridge triple blue. “It makes me a nervous wreck.” he declares. “This match play business robs me of my sleep, takes away my appetite, and makes me miss yard putts that a baby of five could hole. Now I understand why the great Bobby Jones had to give up championship golf. The strain would have killed him.” “Get Together” Is Welcomed It is confidently expected that the move initiated by the V.G.A. to have at Sydney during the 1937 National championship time, a meeting of representative executives of the various State associations and councils, will eventuate in success. The proposed meeting is to be something quite separate from the annual formal meeting of delegates of the A.G.U. and is essentially for exchange of ideas, bringing about of understanding and uniformity and to start any concerted action which is agreed to be desirable. Reports, official and informal, are to the effect that the suggestion has met w’ith general approval* The effects may be far reaching.
