Rather a helpful partner at times, I must admit, although he hasn't been at the game long enough to be a really experienced golfer. Fairly long off the tee, but erratic with the brassie, and not all dependable when it came to short iron work. However, as a rule we held them. Our opponents, I mean." I nods like I'd taken it all in. "A quartette of bogey hounds, I expect," says I.
"You're welcome, of course; but I don't believe you'd have been very much hurt. What's that thing?" nodding toward the brassie, still tightly clutched in West's hand. "A bras a golf club. I was knocking a ball around a bit, and it went over the cliff here." "I should think golf was a rather funny sort of a game."
Let me add here that when the luxury can be afforded, it is usual to employ a boy, known as a "caddy" to carry the bag or receptacle in which the different clubs are kept. The brassie is much like the driver, except that it has a brass head or plate on the hitting part. It is used for a good send when the ball is in a favorable place.
"I wouldn't have cared if you had driven me into the pond," I said, and then I missed my fourth brassie. Two weeks from that day there was a double wedding in the fine old drawing room of Marwick Mansion. From the wedding feast which followed cablegrams went to our friends in Woodvale, also one to Mr.
West knew Stony Bunker well by reason of former meetings, and he knew equally well what amount of swing was necessary to land just over the hazard, but well short of the bluff. Perhaps it was the brassie that was to blame for a full-length, supple-shafted, wooden driver would have been what you or I would have chosen for that stroke or perhaps West himself was to blame.
Boy, place me the globe upon yon pinnacle of sand. So. Now indicate to me the distant pin. Thank you. Do I see it? No. And now give me yes, give me Douglas." The caddie handed him a brassie. He had caddied for Berry before. "Don't breathe for a moment, anyone," said Daphne. Her husband frowned and silently sliced into the sea. "How many balls did you see that time?" said Jonah.
"Oh, look look look! P-e-ach-y!" Breathlessly they watched the two players advance toward the green. Barbara had outdriven her opponent but she topped her second. Carol Day, playing a brassie, put her ball well up. Barbara recovered on her third shot, carried the bunker which guarded the green twenty yards from it, and laid her ball on the edge of the green.
'Thirteen points down and twelve to go. It's all over. Dowd, here, is playing like a crazy man. "And then the spell, or whatever it was, broke. I flubbed my drive, smothered my brassie shot, and heeled my third into the woods. I finished the round in my usual style, mostly sevens and eights.
Usually a boy accompanies each player to carry his clubs. Such boys are called "caddies." The clubs are peculiarly named and it is optional with each player to have as many clubs as he desires. Some of the more common ones are called "driver," "brassie," "cleek," "iron," "mashie," "niblick," "putter," and "lofting iron."
Another very common mistake is to buy a complete outfit of clubs, which a beginner always improperly calls "sticks," before we really know just what shape and weight of club is best adapted to our needs. The common clubs in most players' outfits consist of a driver, brassie, cleek, iron, and putter.
