For instance, if the philosopher is thrown into the society of a man who can talk nothing but motor jargon or golfing shop I select the instances of the conversation that is personally to me the dreariest he need not attempt to talk of golf or motors, and he is equally bound not to discourse of his own chosen intellectual interests; but he ought to endeavour to find a common region, in which he can meet the golfer or the motorist without mutual dreariness.
Good golf to come Giants of the past The amateurs of to-day The greatness of "Freddy" Tait Modern professionals Good sportsmen and good friends A misconception The constant strain How we always play our best Difficult tasks No "close season" in golf Spectators at big matches Certain anecdotes Putting for applause Shovelling from a bunker The greatest match I have ever played in A curious incident A record in halves A coincidence The exasperation of Andrew The coming of spring The joyful golfer.
An unreasoning golfer may play with his clubs on wet days, see that the irons are brightened afterwards, and store his collection in his locker without another thought concerning them. And then some time later when he is out on the links snap goes one of his shafts, and "Confound that rotten wood!" he exclaims. But it is not a case of rotten wood at all.
"I didn't have much time to think, and I don't know what I should have done if it had not been for this excellent club, which I had cut for a rather inglorious purpose. With one of the very best strokes a golfer ever made I cracked his skull." "His skull!" "Likewise his neck. Then I cut his throat." "Oh, Hugh!" breathlessly.
The moral obviously is, that the golfer on being bunkered must concentrate his whole mind, capabilities, and energies on getting out in one stroke, and must resolutely refrain from attempting length at the same time, for, in nine cases out of ten, length is impossible.
"Yes, that is my name," she said, smiling pleasantly. "Well er the General has asked me to er invite you take part in some of our tournaments. We have tennis, you know, an' golf, an' croquet, an' that sort of thing. Of course, you play tennis, an' I rather fancy you're a golfer as well. You look that kind of girl Eh, what?"
The fact is, George had for years been an assiduous golfer; and there is no finer school for teaching concentration and a strict attention to the matter in hand.
"I must look pretty well to win that compliment from you. And how are you feeling? You don't seem robust for a golfer and horseman. But then I'm used to husky Westerners." "Oh, I'm fagged with the daily grind," he said. "I'll be glad to get up in the mountains next month. Let's go down to dinner."
There is a great art in timing this body movement exactly. If it takes place the fiftieth part of a second too soon the stroke will be entirely ruined; if it comes too late it will be quite ineffectual, and will only result in making the golfer feel uneasy and as if something had gone wrong.
This idea of the indwelling happiness, inwardly conditioned, is as ancient as thought. By autosuggestion we can realise it in our own lives. We saw that an unskilled golfer, who imagines his ball is going to alight in a bunker, unconsciously performs just those physical movements needful to realise his idea in the actual.
