London, July 5.
AVING undergone a few days' rest, Henry Cotton, Britain's new golf champion, re- turns at the week-end to the Waterloo Club, Brussels, where he is under contract for at least another year.
"Immediately on gelling to the club," he told me yesterday. "I shall begin practice for next year's championship at Muir- field." writes George Greenwood.
"My ambition is to go on winning the championship, and Though it may seem a presumptuous thing to say, I see no rea- son why it cannot be done.
"TRE HARDEST THING IS TO WIN IT ONCE, BUT NOW THAT I HAVE SUCCERDED. THE BEST SEEMS JUST A LITTLE EASIER. HOWEVER, IF I AM THWARTED IT WILL NOT BE FROM WANT OF HARD WORK AND PRACTICE. FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS I SILALL BE AT IT TOOTH AND NAIL"
