If the thing was to be done at all, it was unquestionably a niblick shot. "I had just made my eleventh attempt to get out of that ravine," the girl went on, "with George talking all the time about the recent excavations in Egypt, when suddenly you know what it is when something seems to snap " "I had the experience with my shoe-lace only this morning." "Yes, it was like that.
We never look upon the niblick with any of that lingering affection which is constantly bestowed on all the other instruments that we possess, as we reflect upon the splendid deeds that they have performed for us on many memorable occasions.
The philosopher in a bunker On making certain of getting out The folly of trying for length When to play back The qualities of the niblick Stance and swing How much sand to take The time to press No follow-through in a bunker Desperate cases The brassy in a bunker Difficulties through prohibited grounding Play straight when length is imperative Cutting with the niblick.
He was, he realized, in the position of a man who has made a supreme drive from the tee, and finds his ball near the green but in a cuppy lie. He had gained much; it now remained for him to push his success to the happy conclusion. The driver of Luck must be replaced by the spoon or, possibly, the niblick of Ingenuity.
"And yet," he said, "who knows? Perhaps it is all for the best. They might all have turned out tennis-players!" He raised his niblick again, his face aglow. "Playing thirteen!" he said. "I think the game here would be to chip out through the door and work round the club-house to the green, don't you?" Little remains to be told. Betty and Eddie have been happily married for years.
Usually a boy accompanies each player to carry his clubs. Such boys are called "caddies." The clubs are peculiarly named and it is optional with each player to have as many clubs as he desires. Some of the more common ones are called "driver," "brassie," "cleek," "iron," "mashie," "niblick," "putter," and "lofting iron."
It took three to get out, owing to the height of the cop, which rose a trifle higher in the air than Mount Blanc, but the niblick Jason had brought along for my use, as soon as I got used to the titanic quality of the game I was playing, was finally equal to the loft. My ball landed just short of the green, one hundred and sixteen miles away.
Such a wife is a true helpmate, and not merely a pretty ornament on which a silly husband can hang expensive clothes, and if he is the right sort of man, he will appreciate this, and refrain from striking her with a niblick after this last remark. Caddies should be treated at all times with the respect and pity due one's fellow creatures who are "unfortunate."
Each of these instruments has the face that strikes the ball laid back more than in the driver, so that they can lift it more easily off the ground. If the ball gets into a worse position, as a bunker or sandpit, the use of the cleek, iron or niblick will become necessary. The heads of these clubs are adjusted to deal with difficult "lies" that is, positions in which the ball may be driven.
Either of those ladies could rule this Empire. Then there are nieces and cousins always about people of rare cultivation, every one of 'em. One of those girls confirmed the story that "Uncle Arthur" one day concluded that the niblick was something more than a humble necessity of a bad golfer that it had positive virtues of its own and had suffered centuries of neglect.
