i king )f Golf By JOE UAPLEfl Eight local piasters went to Morganton or Wednesday alter nooA for a garte, and seeing ffie boy* in ffttMt brings to mihd an tttetestiag subject That of c0Tsu?i?oy. A iq point. Roger Thomas. Roger pHved at Taaglewood Tuesday and had one of his better rounds, a 76. At Morganton the very next day. seeing him play, one might think he bad never broken eighty. Then consider Estel Wagner, he 0et> caught in the same trap on occasions, shoot ing in the mid and high eighty's, yet he takes one club and shots 76. Austin Adams shoots 31 on the front niu? recently, playing very good, but on the back side, he doesn't break I had occas sion to score in the mid eighty's in our recent match with Wilkesboro, then the very next time .out, shoot 69 on a tougher ourse. This is a pro blem that all' golfers have to cOtrtetMf Wrtf. One day we are ready to play in the National Open then' without any reason whatsoever we plunge to the depths of frustration and play terribly. If someone could come up with the answer to this pro blem, he could make ? fortune. Ait we can do is speculate. It doesn't seem to be so much the ability of a person but rather something less tangible. That is mental attitude and even less tangible, the sense of fee 1. On some days a player can tee it up and know without any doubt whatsoever that he is going to play well and by the same token there are days where you know you will play bad. There is one course a player can follow that will decrease thii inconsistency without any douK and (hit is tonsUfU prac tice ltd regular pitying Re garAMb ?i the aalibee of goM t ? person plays, be he a ninety shooter or a Seventy shooter, regular play and practici will make him or her a more cotir sistantr player regardless of mental attitude or physical feeling. Another partial1 answer to this problem is to work harder at tfte game every time you play. When a players game is going well fte has a tendency to let Up so to speak and play loose, then when a tough day comet around he is not prepar ed to "bey dowt" and play hard. So wort hard ?( tile game evea when you are having ? good day, then when a bad day comet arotmd, you will be bet ter prepared and can salvage ? retpectable score out- of what would ordinarily be disaster. The psychology and Intan gibles of the game of golf are such that no player will ever ' become a true master at it. On ly those who are willing to work and sacrifice both mentally and physically will ever ap proach proficiency in a game that always hat and always will be frustrating to the vast ma jority of players. After all, if we were all masters, the game would lose much of the chal lenge and perhaps that it what makes it so great.
