"Well," said Booverman, without joy, "that ball is lying about two hundred and forty yards straight up the course, and by this time it has come quietly to a little cozy home in a nice, deep hoof track, just as I found it yesterday afternoon. Then I will have the exquisite pleasure of taking my niblick, and whanging it out for the loss of a stroke. That'll infuriate me, and I'll slice or pull.
I'd sliced into this baby bunker, don't you know; I simply can't keep 'em straight with the iron nowadays and there the pill was, grinning up at me from the sand. Of course, strictly speaking, I ought to have used a niblick, but " "Do you mean to say, Reggie, that, with such an excellent opportunity, you did not ask Maud to marry you?" "I see what you mean.
It was nicely perched up on the grass, and to have plunked it on to the green with an iron should have been for any reasonable golfer the work of a moment. Eunice, however, only succeeded in slicing it feebly into the rough. Ramsden reached for his niblick and plunged into the bushes.
We ran the ball to earth finally inside the piano. "What's the local rule?" inquired Mortimer. "Must I play it where it lies, or may I tee up and lose a stroke? If I have to play it where it lies, I suppose a niblick would be the club?" It was at this moment that Betty came in.
When he has secured a fair command over all his clubs, from the driver to the niblick, the golf student may play a round of the links; but he should do so only under the watchful eye of the professional, for he will find that in thus marching on from hole to hole, and perhaps getting a little excited now and then when he plays a hole more than usually well, it is only too easy to forget all the good methods in which he has been so carefully trained, and all the wise maxims he knows so well by heart that he could almost utter them in his sleep.
"A little more of this," said Mitchell, beaming, "and the Greens Committee will have to give up piracy and go back to work." The twelfth is a long, dog-leg hole, bogey five. Alexander plugged steadily round the bend, holing out in six, and Mitchell, whose second shot had landed him in some long grass, was obliged to use his niblick.
He, therefore, proceeded to play with the niblick only, till he proved his case and showed that it is a club entitled to the highest respect. A fierce old Liberal fighter in Parliamentary warfare, who entered politics about the time Mr. Balfour did, told me this story the other day. "I've watched Balfour for about forty years as a cat watches a rat. I hate his party.
One glance at her pale, set face told me that there was to be a scene, and I would have retired, but that she was between me and the door. "Hallo, dear," said Mortimer, greeting her with a friendly waggle of his niblick. "I'm bunkered in the piano. My approach-putt was a little strong, and I over-ran the green." "Mortimer," said the girl, tensely, "I want to ask you one question." "Yes, dear?
"I go out with that man Hemmingway to play an ordinary friendly round nothing depending on it except a measly ball and on the seventh he pulls me up and claims the hole simply because I happened to drop my niblick in the bunker. Oh, well, a tick's a tick, and there's nothing more to say, I suppose." The Sage shook his head. "Rules are rules, my boy, and must be kept.
He had carelessly laid it down for a moment while he got out of a hole with his niblick, and when he turned round for it the thing was gone. At the twelfth tee it was raining harder than ever. We pounded along with our coat-collars up and reached the green absolutely wet through. "How about it?" said Thomas. "My hole, I think; and that makes us all square." "I mean how about the rain?
