GOLF AND LIFE. THE PSYCHE AND THE SWING THE USE OF UNWORTHY WORDS AND THE ANSWER.

The following article by a writer in The Observer will amuse all golfers:-

The grave young professional mat have wondered why, when he fished his clear, detailed, and damning criticisms en my swing I laugheil. But all that be said about my swing brought to my mind, point by point, the things my Headmaster ased to say in winged well-meaning words, about me na totality. I don't in- tend to go into details about that swing -why should It—but I would recommend any golfer who dares or desires to know himself without taking the sinister riska of the latest science to get the club professional, or some other qualified and responsible person to criticise his swing

He will find that in the ease of good ones surprise will strike, him dumb, and thus his silences will ap pear more seemly than the usual pitiful appeal for applause. As his strokes grow better his silences will become moro frequent. They will be the habitual ne companiment of success, just as his blameless word will naturally-mark a reversion to the earlier, type of play. The asterisk of astonishment will by this means naturally reserve itself for really great occasions, when silanes would be hypocrisy.

HOW TO GET GOOD SERVICE FROM

MICHELIN TYRES.

This inquiry has no interest for those 67. QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL who habitually use profane words to rall altention to remarks, otherwise not specially worthy of note. Their psycho ney is simple and their outlook crude and raw. But I have beer analysing very carefully the problem of the golfing exple- The tive psycho-analysing it in fact. real question is why people who can cont front real adversity with dignified and worthy utterance break into mutinous coinment at the antics of a little ball. Why do the dark clouds of reprobation, and the ble mists of wrath so readily gather round such a small sphere. Laughter. we are told, always has in it an element of surprise, and the same is true, we he lieve, about the siteera and spontaneous as distinet from the habitual and insigni- ficant curse. The damn of disappoint- mout has a further well-deud' psycho- tozical characteristic. It is relex. It is not a reasoned stuntary of the situation. It Shoots volcanically to the surface from hidden depths, often leaping, as obstacle of no account, even the dng- öllar of circumspection. It is a striking example of our old friend, the exploded repression. But how, in the last-men- tioned type of occurrence, did it get into th sub-conscious at all. Psychologically explanation is obvious. Not by our saying it in the past, but by our not sny- ing it. Sutions in which it suggested itself have been met with dignity and self-restrain. The word has been re pressed. Now, it revenges itself upon is, lip past the enting of consciousness, and puts us to shame before the innocent children who carry our clubs. But what is it, for we must probe the matter to the depths, that hurts from his post. the sentinel of circumspection.

THE ANTIDOTE.

Expletives do not wait for our dreams. These things happen in brond daylight, in the waking hours. The answer to our question must be surprise. We make the shot with a picture in the mind. We can hear the clean click, we can see the bail soaring through the blue and running for- ward light-heartedly on the green. So dear is the image that it is completely convincing, a definite pledge, and most vivid prophecy of reality. Then tha actuality gash in the fairway and the ball sickly trickling a few yards half right Just as humour is the detection of the unexpected resemblance of in-. congruous ideas, wearing is expression of the shook of contradiction between a preconceived and an actual creat. Paycho- analysis having revealed the nature of the problem, may, bo expected to giv some hints sa to ila solution. Conscious repression is, of course, useless. For one thing consciousness of conscience has no tire to operate at all. The word has left us before we can deliberate. The moral judgment is left face to face with a "fait 'accompli" Any attempt at repression

tell

Keep tyres pumped up to correct pressure for the load they have to carry. you what this should be,

We Can

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the bead.

Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results. Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking "alignment. If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover.

Keep tyres free from oil and grease.

Start and stop gently and take corners slowly..

Lastly buy

MICHELIN tyres from us and follow the above advice and

tyre satisfaction is assured.
