Apparently ; such is the case with golfers also who seem to have thei years. Often the closer one inspects the individual the more dif- ficult it becomes to analyze just why this should be? In short, why do some players attain the stature of super men for a season and then, playing just as well never “click” again. In 1937 all golfdom on this continent bowed to ‘“Lighthorse” Harry Cooper, then Canadian Open champion and holder of the Seagram trophy. He was the greatest money winner of the year and apparently unbeatable. In 1938 Sam Snead ap- peared from the Hills of West Virginia. Oddly enough healso won the Seagram Cup, emblemof our Canadian title and went on to establish an all time money record with a total of $18,- 272.83, With $25,000.00 prize money still remaining to be played for between November 15th, and January Ist, when this figure was quoted, Snead has a fine chance of reaching the $20,000 00 mark in this, his great year.
