TUT. TUT! IS TO BE NOW CORRECT LANGUAGE FOR GOLEERS
London, Nov. 19. "It is prohibition at its worst," said J. H. Taylor, commenting on the proposal of the American Professional Golfers' Association to eliminate swearing on golf courses. A. H. Compston expressed the opinion that Americans argue so loudly in locker rooms that a stranger might think himself in ,a madhouse, but the proposal is unnecessary. Bandy Herd said: "It is absurd. Perhaps they will invent a new language to overcome the difficulty." James Braid declared that the association could not enforce the proposal even if it were passed. The secretary of the British Professional Golfers' Association Mr. Perrins) said his committee had not dreamed of such a proposal. "I have not heard Wlalter Hagen curse at bad luck," says the Evening News golf writer. "Great golfers do not use 'language,' but Lord Balfour's ' 'Tut! Tut!' is more venomous than many more lurid expressions."
