SECOND GUESSING «* SPORTS A. by BRIAN BELL ^ (awociated eeuit spcrt* vvorrso) ' L w. E Too Much Golf Is More Than a Plenty Johnny Farrell, former open golf champion and a young pro carrying with him one of the most pleasing personalities the game has known, has decided that there is such a thing as too much golf. After win ning the 1928 title, Johnny, striking while the iron was hot, played • across the length and breadth of I the land. As a result, his game suffered. He was off, and although he work ed hard to get his fine strokes back they would rot respond. He was nowhere in the Winged Foot com petition, where he had to defend his title, and he has -wisely decided to quit trying to fon'e a recovery and let nature take its course. The Canadian open marks his farewell tournament to golf until December 2. when he will line up with the other great pros of the country at Santa Barbara for the annual Professional Golfers associa tion championship at the La Cum bre Country club. The lay-off is almost certain to ; turn the trick. Few golfers can equal the smiling young Quaker Ridge pro or the greens, especially from 30 to 40 feet and when he found that he was not placing the long putts dead to the cup. he knew that his touch had temporarily left him and he would have to have a golf vacation. In the meantime it seems quite likely that the tears being shed over the departure of Johnny as a se rious factor in tournament play are premature. After his.rest, he should come back, better than ever. John ny has shed ro tears and he has not lost his great disposition, one of the real assets of his game. Even Golf Roses Have Their Thorns The erratic duffers of golf who break 100 one day and skid many strokes over the next need not think they stand alone in inconsistency. A striking example of what can happen to even great golfers was given by Jock Forrester, the tall Scotch pro. in the metropolitan open championship at Lido. The Hackensack player led the field over the first round with a great 70. equalling the course record. The i next day he required 81 strokes, to 1 get around the same 18 holes. The Forrester cf Thursday could have given the Forrester of Friday 11 strokes and had an even match Then on Saturday in the third round he was even worse, taking 84 strokes. Fortunately for Forrester’s peace of mind, although it did not result in any financial gain, he stpeped around the fourth round in 71, one under par. Golf is a strange game. Bill Mehlhorn Will Have To Gc a New Nickname ‘ Wild Bill” Mehlhornis no long er wild. The colorful pro who has supplied excitement in generou: quantity on scores of golf course: played a steady game to win th< metropolitan open. Bill played well enough in th< first three rounds to go into a tii for the lead at the start of th< fourth, and then scored a great 61 to winwith 288 for 72 holes, ever par. He was not under par 72 foi the course in his first three round, but he was not much over two 73', and a 74. leaving him a stroke ove: cn each of his first two rounds anc two strokes for the third. He clip ped four strokes off on his fin^ chance more than enough as Witf Cox, in second place, scored 291 At that Wild Bill took three putt cn the eighteenth green in his 1"? round This may have been jus to show that he could do it.
