A. business executive. He heads a major enterprise, and he's a man whose judgment on other men has been proved so excellent that he's worth $100,000 a year in salary, and another $50,000 a year in business-expense allowance, to his corporation. Now, one of his constant relaxations is golf. And he has long made it a custom to invite new business associates, and new contacts with whom he is going to have to do business on a large scale, out for a day on the links just as soon after he meets them as he can conveniently do.it. And while he's playing a twosome with them, or in a-foursome, he has been known to indulge a little idiosyncracy which he tries to keep secret?╟÷ but which some of his fellow-players have observed. And in most cases, the observers think it's "pretty small potatoes" for a $100,000-a-year Big Shot to do.
