Golfs the game game to Women have short mmter NEW YORK (NEA) Golf's the game for gals galore. "More than two million women are involved in the active golf scene," said Don A. Rossi, executive director of the National Golf Foundation. But men and women play the game somewhat differently. A man hits a golf ball about 225 yards on his drive and then has about 150 yards to get to the green on a par-4 hole.

The average woman golfer has to play golf by wit rather than strength. She nitr her drive 150 yards, the second about 130 yards. Still 75 yards short of the green, she's got to swing a lot of short, tricky finesse shots to reach the green. With more in-between shots, a woman plays shorter game of golf. "It's a game of feel rather than of actual power," said LPGA pro, Louise Suggs.

And (I I 4-. I (0 her ability to swing a golf club. According to Toney Penna, long-time golf professional and designer of hiffown line of clubs, "A woman changes with age and so should her clubs." In other the club you played with a 25 may not fit your individual strength and style at 40. A complete line of woods and irons are now available for women. The Super Blade, designed to help the ladies, provides the largest power area of any iron made.

It is ideally suited to women because by. shortening the hosel this weight is now distributing through the clubhead's hitting area giving greating playabiiity, power and clubhead thrust. "If the shaft doesn't fit a woman's swing velocity, the golf club could be useless," Toney Penna said. He's a firm believer that no woman golfer can play to full potential unless her clubs are made "to personal specifications. Cognizance of the ladies' market came to most golf private clubs, 877,000 at daily fee courses and 928.000 at municipal courses.

The Ladies Pro Golf Association tour" soared from five injhe J30s to 60 members in the '70s. "While our statistics show that women outnumber men in joining the ranks of the nation's golfers over the past decade," said impact goes beyond mere members. Women now in their second and third stages of golf have drastically changed their recreational philosophy as well as how they play the game." In the past women felt that extra money in the budget should go to getting their husbands the best golf clubs. But mobility, changes in family orientation and increased leisure time have freed women from feeling guilty about spending money on her own recreation Beginner or pro, a woman today has to be aware and informed to select the clubs that best suit her To make a valuable purchase she should take into consideration her own strength, size, weight, length of arms and hand size as thev relate to here are some fine points she feels a woman can use to improve her golf game. To master the short game, try not to be overanxious and think you can hit the ball completely to the hole.

Instead, consider the possibilities of rolling. If you are hitting uphill, hit a little further. Downhill, don't hit quite so hard. Never try to put back-spin on the ball. Let the grooves on the clubhead do that for you.

Striking the ball properly will automatically put a backspin on the ball. The most important single factor in the short game is selecting the right club. And, if a woman's going out to buy golf clubs, this "year more than ever before, she's got a lot to consider. 1 by the phenomenal growth and -demands of women golfers, golf companies have been "busy consulting LPGA pros and suddenly there's a whole new spectrum of colorful ladies golf equipment in the pro shops and sports catalogues. The days of "token" women's golf clubs are over.

The National Golf "Foundation reports that last year 423,000 women played at Pampering led to design modification. Here's what force in the' marketplace generated. MacGregor tonsutls Judy -Rankin, Marlene Hagge, Sharon Miller and other women ranking in the top 15 pro money winners. Dunlop named their top-Uality clubs after Suzie Maxwell, 1972 U.S. Open Champion who assisted with the design.

Northwestern has hired two LPGA golfers, Debbie Austin and Margie Masters, to field test new equipment. Ben Hogan's company's plunge into ladies equipment led them to design a specific shaft for women. It's not a cutdown mens shaft, and women's fjrips are one-thirty second smaller than the men's. And other manufacturers have made other changes to benefit women. Aesthetically, women seem pleased that manufacturers show color-coordinafed woods in mahogany mist, high luster blues or exotic greens.

But flashy color shouldn't prevent them from looking intently for the same quality features found in men's clubs, differing only slightly in lighter weights, slightly shorter, shafts and grip size. community life Mattoon Jounnal Gazette 9 Mr. and Mrs.M'Cael Jay Kingery Wedding held A a in Artnur manufacturers years ago Jameson and about nine when Betty Cybil Griffen were great names in golf.

Dear Ann Landers: Four years ago we moved to Albuquerque. We have a lovely adobe house with a spacious back yard and the air is fresh and invigorating. My perents, who live in a small apartment in the heart of Newark, have been driving out evey August to spend a week with us.

Before they pull up they always stop at a market, load the car with steaks, chops, fruits, vegetables and canned goods. They also insist on taking us tc dinner at a fine restaurant the night before they leave. One could hardly call them free-loaders. My husband, Karl, starts knocking them mid-july. After they leave I have to listen to his small digs for another two weeks.

Neither Mom nor Dad has an ounce of malice in them. They are lovely, big-hearted people. I can't understand why Karl dislikes them. His folks are a couple of sour apples. At our wedding his father and mother shook handswith me.

I have never seen them kiss anyone. (I often wondered how they happened to produce Karl.) We have invited them to visit us a dozen times but they are too cheap to make the trip. Karl is beginning to complain about my folks because they are due here in a few weeks. What shall I say to him? MAE Dear Mae: Save your pipes and enjoy that lovely New Mexico air. Nothing you say will make any difference.

I found room receipts in his pockets (how dumb can you get?) and a bill for perfume came to the house. He said he bought it for his mother. His mother doesn't even know what perfume is. We had a long talk a month and he swore he had stopped seeing the girl and I thought it was settled. I shpuld have known better.

He is such a liar I can't get a straight sentence out of him. Divorce is out of the question. Our religion allows one marriage, lousy or not. The girl is considered a minor in this state.
