Tests Made By Doctor
A series of tests were made on 30 golfers ranging from 30 to 45 years of age and possessing han- dicaps of 10 to 27. The eating of sugar during their playing en- abled them to reduce their handi- caps considerably. The tests were conducted by taking aver- age golfers, letting them start their round after lunch and tak- ing a blood sample after each hole. As far as possible the stu- dies were performed under nor- mal conditions, with the excep- tion that they were not permitted to smoke during the tests.

All my friends have been telling me I'd better quit before I get hurt and I guess maybe they're right." Dempsey claimed that he still in good physical shape said he thought he could some of those bums" fighting now, but that that was beside the point. He never in- tended to try a comeback and the whole thing was just a joke.
