When at length we teed up again at Muirfield, I felt as though I were fit to play for anything, and started in a way that justified my confidence, for I picked up a useful lead of five strokes in the first half-dozen holes. After that Taylor settled down to most brilliant golf, and brought my lead down to a single stroke; but at the end of the first round I was two to the good.
He found a temporary solace by playing a succession of mental golf-games over all the courses he could remember, and he was just teeing up for the sixteenth at Muirfield, after playing Hoylake, St.
I fancied this new discovery of mine and had confidence in it, and that was why I got all those long putts down and achieved the golfer's greatest ambition. But though I keep it still and treasure it, I have never played with that putter since. It has done its duty. I must tell just one other story concerning this Muirfield Championship.
Andrews I go to Ganton An invitation to the south of France The Championship at Muirfield An exciting finish A stiff problem at the last hole I tie with Taylor We play off, and I win the Championship A tale of a putter Ben Sayers wants a "wun'" What Andrew thought of Muirfield I win the Championship again at Prestwick Willie Park as runner-up My great match with Park Excellent arrangements A welcome victory On money matches in general My third Championship at Sandwich My fourth at Prestwick Golf under difficulties.
"Miss Somerset may I call you Mary?" The girl looked at him with eyes that shone softly in the dim light. "Mary?" she repeated. "Why, of course, if you like " "If I like!" cried Mortimer. "Don't you know that it is my dearest wish? Don't you know that I would rather be permitted to call you Mary than do the first hole at Muirfield in two? Oh, Mary, how I have longed for this moment! I love you!
But neither Ben nor Andrew was as successful as was wished, and not unnaturally they thought somewhat less of Muirfield than they had done before. Therefore it was not fair to ask Kirkaldy, after the competition had been completed, what he really considered to be the merits of the course. I was standing near him when a player came up and bluntly asked, "What d'ye think o' Muirfield now, Andrew?"
What does the angler care for catching a large basket of trout if there be no one by to show them to? And what does the golfer care about his game if he have not an opponent or a crowd to witness his prowess? At Muirfield I enjoyed the amateur championship R. Maxwell's year.

For some reasons I like Muirfield; but it does not enjoy so many advantages as the other championship courses. There are not so many sandhills. It is on the flat side, and at the first glance you might take it to be an inland course; but after a single round you are greatly impressed by the good golf that is to be obtained upon it.
