TOO EASY FOR EXPERT PRO'S

New York,

Fred Corcoran, just in from the winter golf circuit, believes 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 played for U.S.$110,000 in prizo money, the winners were eight and 10 shots under par in every 72-holo 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 golf, with them, is a business and a profession. They work at eight hours a day. Would you be llevo it, after Jug McSpaden bad shot his round of 60 down in Texas, he went right over to the practice teo and worked there for two hours? You can't beat fellows like that and par can't either."

Corcoran, for the last fow years, has been working on what he feels is the best solution. He believes it's one that will have to be accepted before par becomes utterly ridicu lous.
