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?
But what happens when, in the smooth execution of our idea, we are confronted with an obstacle? This obstacle may exist outside us, as did the golfer's bunker, but it must also exist as an idea in our minds or we should not be aware of it. As long as we allow this mental image to stay there, the efforts of our will to overcome it only make it more irresistible.
I have already given directions for the playing of such shots, and the rest must be left to the golfer's daring and his judgment.
The portion of the swing behind the body, which determines the speed of the stroke. That portion immediately in front of the body which determines the direction and, in conjunction with weight shift from one foot to the other, the pace of the shot. The portion beyond the body, comparable to the golfer's "follow through," determines spin, top or slice, imparted to the ball.
Feeling sure, however, that they must be appropriate to this occasion, and desiring to be appreciative, he smiled pleasantly into the golfer's face and murmured, "Beastly fluke!" Mr.
Like the gentleman who played euchre with the Heathen Chinee, I state but facts. I do not, therefore, slur over my scheme for disturbing the professor's peace of mind. I am not always good and noble. I am the hero of this story, but I have my off moments. I felt ruthless towards the professor. I cannot plead ignorance of the golfer's point of view as an excuse for my plottings.
Then after this passage through purgatory come the first gleams of hope, when two holes in succession have been done in only one over bogey, and a 24 handicap man has actually been beaten by 3 up and 2 to play a conquest which, if it is the first one, is rarely forgotten in the golfer's lifetime. After that there is a steady settling down to mediocrity.
The mashie will follow, and then the five of them together, and at last he may have an afternoon on the green trying his skill with a putter, and listening for the first time to the music of the ball no such music as this to the golfer's ear, though it consists of but a single note as it drops into the tin and is holed out at last.
The golfer's powers of calculation are now in great demand. Take, to begin with, one of the most difficult of all putts that in which there is a more or less pronounced slope from one side or the other, or a mixture of the two. In this case it would obviously be fatal to putt straight at the hole. Allowances must be made on one side or the other, and sometimes they are very great allowances too.
If any attempt were made to follow through, it is highly probable that sufficient sand would not be taken to make the ball rise up soon enough. However, the more one reflects upon bunkers and niblicks, the more does one feel that the circumstances must govern the method of playing each of these strokes, and there is no finer field for the display of the golfer's judgment and resource than this.
