PROFESSIONAL GOLF NOT UNLIKE BOXING
PRINCELY REWARDS FOR THOSE AT THE TOP ONLY
(By Geoffrey Simpson)
People are fond of telling me that there is no money in pro- fessional golf, but having talked to Henry Cotton yesterday I have an idea that golf is not unlike boxing in one respect.
The strugglers in the game may have to scratch for a living, but for those on top the rewards are princely.
Cotton ranks us world champion in golf, even though St. Andrews de- clines to acknowledge such a title, and white I do not profess to know what such eminence produces a year, the income must be considerable.
For Cotton let it out that he is busy preparing a house-warming la his new house, and ensually disclosed that the place-built to his own de sign on the borders of his home course at Asheklge--has vest nearly
£10,000,
What some of his brother profes- sionals will say about that is easily Kuessed. They were shocked when they heard of Cotton's golf shop at Aslirkige, which: cost four figures, und is believed to be the best-equipped in Britain.
RAISING THE STANDARD
There is much jealousy over Cot- ton and he is frequently criticised,- but there is one thing for which he should be upplauded by his brother professionals,
Colton holds high Ideals about his profession, and he tells you frankly that while he is leader in the game he means to do all he can to push up the standard. It puzzles him when he is attacked for charging 08 quincus for an exhibition matelt. "Surely I am striking a blow for all those who earn a living out of golf when I succeed in raising the payment stale?" he usks.
£5
In days not so fur distant Open champion would charge or £10 for a day's exhibition play.. Colton has changed all that by diligently pursuing his belief that a world champion is entitled to "cash in" on his title.
And in doing well for himself. I am sure he has also raised the standard for others.
MISUNDERSTOOD
The time when £3 a week was a average wage for a golf professional is disappearing, and it is men like Cotton who have helped to fashion the new order of things.
I am afraid at times he is mis- understood. For example, he cou- centrates so intensely on the gume during a tournament that he dues not welcome conversation,
Thus, when Cotton la preparing to play th shot and some chance acquaintance reminds him of the day when they were together at Brighton or somewhere, Cotton's reply is apt to be sharp and to the paint.
This cams him a reputation for. being "self-centred," but when the day's golf is done Collon is a most sociable fellow.
HARD WORK
His attitude is that golt for a pre- fessional is just a job of work, and when a man is at his job he is en- titled to be left alone.
Certainly Cotton's powers of con- centration, his seriousness, and will- ingness for study and practice have raised film to his present position.
He admits he learned moal of his golf from Americans, but does not advertise the fact that. he toured the States at its own expence and work- ed so hard to master golf that bis health suffered.
I should call him self-made rather than self-centred.
