Let there be plenty of undulations, and then with the changing positions of the hole a player can practically never come to any particular green upon which he may have putted hundreds of times without having a problem set him entirely different from any that he has had to work out before.
"Every inch a soldier, Graham," he chuckled. "Still have to use a hook and eye at the bottom of the coat blouse," he corrected himself. "But I'm getting my waist-line again. How's the whoa!" he called, as Elinor wrapped the rope around his carefully putted legs. "Infernal animal!" he grumbled. "I just paid a quarter to have these puttees shined. How's the family?" "Mother has gone to Linndale.
"Oo oo ee ee ee EE I putted my finger on a waps, and oo oo the nasty waps oo bited me. An' I don't like wapses a bit, but I likes whay-als oo ee ee." A happy thought struck me. "Why don't you boys make believe that big packing-box in your play-room is a whale?" said I. A compound shriek of delight followed the suggestion, and both boys scrambled upstairs, leaving me a free man again.
When he brought off an excellent drive from the eighteenth tee, he seemed to forget everything. "Me dear boy," he began; and stopped abruptly in some confusion. Silence once more brooded over us as we played ourselves up the fairway and on to the green. He was on the green in four. I reached it in three. His sixth stroke took him out. I putted carefully to the very mouth of the hole.
When they climbed the hill, Booverman's ball lay within three feet of the cup, which he easily putted out. "Two down," said Pickings, inaudibly. "By George! what a glorious start!" "Once in sixty thousand times," said Booverman to himself.
By wonderful long work both were on the green in three, but Kirkaldy was on the extreme far edge and away. His approach putt was too strong, overrunning the cup by twelve feet. Wallace laid his ball dead within six inches of the cup, and putted down in five, one under bogy.
But the first person who caught a sight of the mendicant exclaimed, "Ah! here comes auld Edie, that kens the rules of a' country games better than ony man that ever drave a bowl, or threw an axle-tree, or putted a stane either; let's hae nae quarrelling, callants we'll stand by auld Edie's judgment." Edie was accordingly welcomed, and installed as umpire, with a general shout of gratulation.
Thus, to how many players does it occur that the direction in which the mowing machine has been passed over it makes an enormous difference to the speed of the particular piece of the green that has to be putted over? All the blades of grass are bent down in the direction that the machine has taken, and their points all face that way.
'It's a plan with a piece left out, and it isn't finished till it's putted in. Curly must be in our plan, father dear. 'He may be in yours, but not in Lady Isobel's, I think, said Mr. Allonby. 'We'll make a confab with Lady Is'bel about him when we get to her house, suggested True. 'I believe she'll find a way to have him. Bobby cheered up at once. 'I believe she will. We'll ask her.
The professor decided to take a chance: and he failed miserably. As I was on the green with my third, and, unless I putted extremely poorly, was morally certain to be down in five, which is bogey for the hole, there was not much practical use in his continuing to struggle. But he did in a spirit of pure vindictiveness, as if he were trying to take it out of the ball.
