Golf is a game, and talk and discussion is all to the interests of the game. Anything that keeps the game alive and prevents us being bored with it is an advantage. Anything that makes us think about it, talk about it, and dream about it is all to the good and prevents the game becoming dead. ALISTER MACKENZIE
Construct a course simply to cater for the giant and the chances are that it will be made ridiculous and disconcerting to the pigmy, who may even be driven to give up the game in despair. TOM SIMPSON and H.N. WETHERED

A first class course can only be made in time. It must develop. The proper distance between holes, the shrewd placing of bunkers and other hazards, the perfecting of putting greens, all must be evolved by a process of growth and it requires study and practice. C.B. MACDONALD

I learned to play the American game over there between 1951 and 1960 and it revolted me. I have always regarded the bounce of the ball as the third dimension in golf, but the ball is not allowed to bounce in America. PETER THOMSON on his Australia influence

Australia can be seen, in general terms, as a cross between the distant British Isles and the United States, and I find that the many fine Australian courses reflect this merging. BEN CRENSHAW

Frequent visits to Scotland and among our home courses have convinced me that the time is ripe for a stupendous revision looking toward a saner and simpler plan for turning the good earth into playgrounds for those who follow through. PERRY MAXWELL

As each year goes by I fear the true sporting spirit of match play is less and less in evidence. We find a growing disposition for play to concentrate on the figures that are registered at a hole rather than on the question of whether the hole is lost or won in a purely friendly match. TOM SIMPSON
