TOO EASY FOR EXPERT PRO'S

New York.

Fred Corcoran, just in from the winter golf circuit, beliovos America's professionals have reached, such a. point of perfection that par, as it now is figured, is an utterly out-moded standard.

"There's just no sense to it," said the tournament manager of the Pro-: fessional Golfers Association. "Dur- ing this winter's tour, when the boys pluyed for U.S.$113,000 in prizo money, the winners were eight and 10 shots under par in every 72-hole tournament. There's no reason to believe they can't do it overy time.

́· GOLF A BUSINESS

"And why do they beat par? Be- cause colf, with them, is a business and a profession. They work at it eight hours a day. Would you be lieve it. after Jug McSpaden had shot his round of 59 down in Texas, he went right over to the practica tee and worked there for two hours? You can't beat fellows like that and por can't.elther."

Corcoran, for the last few years, has been working on what he feels Is the best solution. He belleves It's one that will have to be accepted before par becomes utterly ridicu-| Ious.

HOLES DIFFER

"Take two holes on a golf course to-day, One Is 360 yards, the other 415. On the present yardage basis, par for each is 4. Yet the 250-

yarder is straightaway, no o

bounds on either side of the

way, no traps to speak of. Jimmy
