MOST of us have our off days, when we describe ourselves as being a bit out of sorts. Athletes and sportsmen have times when they feel what they call


“stale.” Foolishly, some blame the tennis racquet, the


cricket bat or the golf club. The wiser ones blame themselves.' Golfers know what havoc can come when they get over anxious, so endeavour to take things m their natural stride, or swing until that swing returns


and people , annoy us with their appaient stupidity, we should pause to ask ourselves if everyone else is in the wrong or if the blame really lies with us. When . things seem to be getting out of focus, we should consider whether there is need for a new pair of spec- . tacles or just a fresh point of view.
