Braid, English Golfer, Has Holed Out on Fly 11 Times. The golf season has lengthened out to the mid-way post and yet no word bas drifted In from England telling of additional hole-In-one triumphs by the venerable Sandy Herd. It may be that the old boy Is slip ping, as they say down by the gas bouse. Herd Is undisputably the world's champion hole ln-oner at all weights, form and distance considered.

Over space of 35 years play the ancient Sandy has experienced the maximum golf thrill no fewer than 17 times.

Golf as a sport Is cheap enough, but people are not content to take golf as ft sport; they take it as ft social enterprise.

Mag nlhVent clubhouses, dining rooms, service and entertainment are the things that mak golf expensive. It is not golf, but the modern, stage for golf that makes It a game for the wealthy. Golf clubs are modeled after the mansions and estates of tnultl-tndlionatre. The Idea Is not to economize, but to expend lavishly and make a vulgar display of riches.
