Fred Corcoran, just in from the winter golf circuit, believes America's, professionals have reached such a point of perfection jthat 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 Golfern Association. "Dur- Ing this winter'a tour, when the boys. played. for U.S.$115,000 in prize money, the winners were eight and 10 shots under par in every 72-hola tournament. There's no reason to believe they can't do it every time.

GOOF A BUSINESS

"And why do they beat par? Be- cuuse golf, with them, is a business and a profession. They work at it eight hours a day.
