Too much golf Analysis of good strokes One's attitude towards one's opponent Inaccurate counting of strokes Tactics in match play Slow couples on the course Asking for halves On not holing out when the half is given Golfing attire Braces better than belts Shoes better than boots How the soles should be nailed On counting your strokes Insisting on the rules Play in frosty weather Chalked faces for wet days Against gloves Concerning clubs When confidence in a club is lost Make up your mind about your shot The golfer's lunch Keeping the eye on the ball The life of a rubber-core A clean ball The caddie's advice Forebodings of failure Experiments at the wrong time One kind of golf at a time Bogey beaten, but how?
Cannot every golfer recall numberless instances of bad shots and holes lost because in one of these moments of doubt, when his own inclination was leaning to the employment of one particular club, his caddie thrust another before him? Feeling that there must be something good in the caddie's recommendation, he has been tempted in spite of himself to use it.
"Well, not so very often, as the real golf-bug or caddie's worm would measure the thing say, on an average of once a week in the golfing season.

I'm sorry she didn't have the little cakes." "She's going to make some to-morrow and send them to me. It's pop-corn in this box." Dorothea held up the latter and shook it. "Moses brought it from Virginia.
It is then a disturbing factor, and its humorous aspect does not always appeal to one as it should. Some golfers might be flattered when they come to know that their caddies have backed them to the extent of half the remuneration they will receive for carrying the clubs for the round. It is a touching expression of the caddie's belief in them.
