To my mind the old foursome provided a much more interesting and enjoyable game than its successor, and tended much more to the cultivation of good qualities in a golfer. It seems to me that this new four-ball game is a kind of mongrel mixture.
When it happens that just the same thought enters the brain of that other man, a lost hole is likely to be the result. Decidedly this is not the sort of game to improve the golfer's play. The four-ball foursome is so very like two single matches that there is little special advice to offer concerning the playing of it.
The four-ball foursome, I admit, has much to recommend it when the partners are equally matched, when both are really good players more likely to do a hole in bogey than not and when the course is clear and there is no prospect of their protracted game interfering with other players who may be coming up behind.
I think it is to be regretted that the old-fashioned foursome, in which the respective partners play together with the same ball, has so completely lost favour of late, and that it has been superseded to a large extent by the four-ball foursome.
The four-ball foursome Its inferiority to the old-fashioned game The case of the long-handicap man Confusion on the greens The man who drives last The old-fashioned two-ball foursome Against too many foursomes Partners and each other Fitting in their different games The man to oblige The policy of the long-handicap partner How he drove and missed in the good old days On laying your partner a stymie A preliminary consideration of the round Handicapping in foursomes A too delicate reckoning of strokes given and received A good foursome and the excitement thereof A caddie killed and a hole lost A compliment to a golfer.
Probably my brain was a little over-excited when I came out of Court, and what I imagined to be an epic was nothing more than a tissue of exaggerations from a disappointed wife. I'm sure I'm doing the right thing to go there.... What about a four-ball this afternoon, Andrew?" The four-ball match was played and won in normal fashion.
The fourth man is quite conscious of this impatience on their part, even though it may not be openly expressed by the smallest sign. So he is in a hurry to oblige, and his effort is then disappointing. I seldom hit my best ball when I am driving fourth in a four-ball foursome. Of course somebody must drive last, but not necessarily the same man every time.
But Imogen walked away quite unconcernedly, and Jeannie Hadden followed her. These two, as nearest in age, were growing intimate. Ginevra was almost too old, she was twenty. They played a four-ball game then; Leslie and Etty against Elinor and Dakie Thayne.
