In these stores the old and practised golfer may often pick up a good club at a trifling cost; but the beginner would be more likely to furnish himself with a set which would be poor in themselves and quite unsuited for his purpose. The proper place for him to go to is the professional's shop which is attached to the club of which he has become a member.
In the very faint red light from the doors he saw a moving sea of black and heard it surging to his very feet. He had an old professional's exact sense of passing time, and he knew that a full minute had already gone by since the explosion. No one could be dead yet, even in that press, but there were few seconds to spare, fewer and fewer.
Difficulties of choice A long search for the best Experiments with more than a hundred irons Buy few clubs to begin with Take the professional's advice A preliminary set of six Points of the driver Scared wooden clubs are best Disadvantages of the socket Fancy faces Short heads Whip in the shaft The question of weight Match the brassy with the driver Reserve clubs Kinds of cleeks Irons and mashies The niblick The putting problem It is the man who putts and not the putter Recent inventions Short shafts for all clubs Lengths and weights of those I use Be careful of your clubs Hints for preserving them.
The latter advanced once more, his bullet head sunk between his shoulders, his little eyes twinkling. Evidently Mr. Bishop's friend would now take the aggressive, and forward movement would deliver an extra force to the professional's blows. Orde did not wait for Murphy, however. Like a tiger he sprang forward, hitting out fiercely, first with one hand then with the other.
He wondered if Bob would get his first eleven cap this year, and if he himself were likely to do anything at cricket. Marjory had faithfully reported every word Saunders had said on the subject, but Bob had been so careful to point out his insignificance when compared with the humblest Wrykynian that the professional's glowing prophecies had not had much effect.
Until I put the whole business for ever behind me, I never lost my interest in issues and principles; neither did I ever acquire one jot or tittle of the professional's interest in the political game, as such; or endeavour to utilise its complex machinery for the furtherance of my own career.
Still, "kindergarten" is certainly a withering epithet in this connection; and one can perfectly understand the professional's attitude. A sitting-room, nay, worse "A kind of drawing-room," in the midst of the kennels!
Here there was a pause while Miss Bingley went to the professional's shop to have a tack put into the leather of her mashie, which had worked loose. George Perkins and little Wilberforce, who believed in keeping up their strength, melted silently away in the direction of the refreshment bar, and Ramsden and Eunice were alone.
These long, powerful, big-handed lads evidently did not know the difference between lacrosse and baseball; but they were quick as cats on their feet, and they scooped up the ball in a way wonderful to see. And throw! it made a professional's heart swell just to see them line the ball across the diamond. "Lord! what whips these lads have!" exclaimed Merritt. "Hope we're not up against it.
There he lay quite still, his palms up, his head sunk forward. Orde stared at him a moment in astonishment, as though expecting him to arise. When, however, he perceived that Murphy was in reality unconscious, he tore off the gloves and ran forward to kneel by the professional's side. "I didn't suppose one punch like that would hurt him," he muttered to the men crowding around.
