. . . A circular letter from the PCA says"You can't win by using the abbrevia-tion, 'pro', which some think is "deroga-tory." . . . The implication of reprisalsis considered by amused sports writers asunbecoming to pros or professionals ingolf, but nothing to worry the newspaperpros who must fit "pro" into tight columnspace ... No complaints from amateursyet on "pro-am" . . .

GOLFDOM explored this subject sometime ago among experts who are proud tobe called pros in newspaper business andwas politely asked not to bother themabout any pro golfer with an inferioritycomplex. The sportswriters added they hadtrouble enough getting space for club proswithout being told how to use that space... Some sportswriters asked if they wereordered by the PCA to use "professional"instead of "pro", and were they also ex-peered to use "Professional Golfers' Asso-ciation" instead of PGA? . . . Oh, well, asShakespeare said "A rose by any othername is still a rose."
