When I get a good drive off the first tee," said Booverman discouraged, "I mess up all the rest. You'll see." "Oh, come now," said Pickings, as a matter of form. He played his shot, which came methodically to the edge of the green. Booverman took his mashy for the short running-up stroke to the pin, which seemed so near. "I suppose I've tried this shot a thousand times," he said savagely.
The best thing to do, I suppose, would be to play for a conservative six." When, after four butchered shots, Pickings had advanced to where Booverman had driven, the ball lay in clear position just beyond the bumps and rills that ordinarily welcome a long shot. Booverman played a perfect mashy, which dropped clear on the green, and ran down a moderate put for a three.
Again his drive continued true, the mashy pitch for the second was accurate, and his put, after circling the rim of the cup, went down for a three. The twelfth hole is another dip into the long grass that might serve as an elephant's bed, and then across the Housatonic River, a carry of one hundred and twenty yards to the green at the foot of an intruding tree.
I love to pack mashy suppers and get all dirty and hot dragging them to the beach, and I love to stuff my own Thanksgiving turkey, in my own way! We haven't had a real Thanksgiving turkey for four or five years! We'll have no rent Agnes gets thirty light will be almost nothing, and coal about a tenth of what it was Bert, we'll spend about two hundred a month, all told!"
