And now the absurd figure-of-eight nine-hole course, the third hole of which was also the seventh, and the first the ninth, had been complicated into a war kitchen-garden, and James, bored with ordinary difficulties and discomforts, had evolved the new golf. "Come on," said he, burning with the zeal of a martyr-burner, "I'll show you the ground." "Can't I see it by standing up in the hammock?"
After a bit he let me try it. It wasn't easy, though, you bet! But when I'd sort of got the hang of it I could hit them right well. He said I did bully and if I liked I could help him lay out a nine-hole course the next afternoon and we'd have some games. So we did. We paced off the distances between the holes and put up sticks with bits of white cloth on them.
At least, I haven't any of your confidential clerks in my pay. But just how bad is the report going to be?" The auditor shook his head. "Worse than the last one. Perhaps you have noticed that the stock has dropped six points in the past week. You're one of the official family: I don't mind telling you that we are in the nine-hole, Ford." "Of course we are," said Ford, with calm conviction.
And there's a dog-hole down on the Gold Coast where I intended to land this cargo, but now that Scab Johnny's gone to work and sent me a bay scow instead of a sea-goin' steamer, I'm in the nine-hole instead o' dog-hole. I can never get as far as the Gold Coast with the Maggie. She can't carry coal enough to last her."

And he could afford that delay. He resolved, therefore, on diplomacy. "Well, I'm sorry," he answered with every appearance of contrition. "You fellers got me in the nine-hole an' I can't help myself. At the same time, I appreciate fully your p'int of view, while realizin' that I can't convince you o' mine.
Necessity for thought and ingenuity The long-handicap man's course The scratch player's How good courses are made The necessary land A long nine-hole course better than a short eighteen The preliminary survey A patient study of possibilities Stakes at the holes Removal of natural disadvantages "Penny wise and pound foolish" The selection of teeing grounds A few trial drives The arrangement of long and short holes The best two-shot and three-shot holes Bunkers and where to place them The class of player to cater for The shots to be punished Bunkers down the sides The best putting greens Two tees to each hole Seaside courses.
I asked carelessly, while twins in a perambulator got out of our line of fire. "A potty little nine-hole affair at a hydro in the Midlands. My cousins stay there. Always will. Not but what the fourth and the seventh holes take some doing. You could manage it, though," he said encouragingly. "You're doing much better. It's only your approach shots that are weak." "You're right.
As funds became available from the sale of stock, the payment of dues and tile generous donations of a few members, an excellent nine-hole golf course was completed, and tennis courts and facilities for trap-shooting were installed. In March and April, 1908, a modest club house was built at a cost of some $5000.
