"That's about my usual at the old game." And therewith I made my tee, drove and went into the garden to cut a cabbage leaf. * After hoeing the vegetables with a mashie for a hot two hours, I fought my way out of the rhubarb on all fours, with a golf-ball between my teeth, and then strode doggedly back to the tee and drove into the virgin artichoke forest.
Another convincing argument in favour of the low tee is that it preserves a greater measure of similarity between the first shot and the second, helping to make the latter, with the brassy, almost a repetition of the first, and therefore simple and comparatively easy.
If I hit that golf ball good and fair it will 'follow through' into the next county, and don't you forget that I told you so! Come on, boys!" Carter looked at me and winked. There was no one waiting on the first tee, and a clear field ahead. It was agreed that Carter should have the honour, I to follow, and that Harding should drive last.
Not lately, but in the early years of my experience, I have seen this principle carried to a curious excess. When there was a difficult carry from the tee, and an inferior player and short driver had the turn to make the stroke, I have seen his partner instruct him to miss the ball altogether not tap it off the tee, but miss it.
You will see notes against them in the margin, showing when each is supposed to be used." It was a small favour to ask. I took the book and gripped her hand silently. Then I joined Alexander and Mitchell on the tenth tee. Mitchell was still continuing his speculations regarding the Greens Committee. "The hole after this one," he said, "used to be a short hole. There was no chance of losing a ball.
"And he wrote Hen a love-letter Thanksgiving beginning, 'Darling Miss Cooney." "That so?" said Tee Wee, who was just home from the University for Christmas and not up on all the news yet. "How'd he sign it 'Your loving Mr. Dunn'?" "'Ave some werry nice 'am, Cally?" "Yes thank you. But do go on and tell me about Mr. Dunn. Does Hen like him?" "No, but she loves violets," said Tee Wee.
Wallace did not tee the ball on any raised inequality of the turf, but simply placed it on a smooth spot, such as one would select as the average brassie lie. If I had any lingering doubt as to his ability, this one preliminary act dispelled it. Now that I calmly recall this scene in that sheep pasture, its dramatic grotesqueness rather appeals to me.
By the time he has spent a day or two there and has found that, in spite of the three courses open, it is wise to post his time the day before or he is likely to kick his heels around the first tee for a couple of hours before he can get away, and when he looks over the crowded dining-room at night well, he comes to the conclusion that most of the school have deserted and are playing truant, too!
It is hardly necessary to add that whenever an important game is being played, considerable wisdom will be exercised if the reserves are taken out in the bag along with the clubs with which it is intended to play, for though breakages are not matters of everyday occurrence, they do happen sometimes, and nothing would be more exasperating in such a contingency than the knowledge that for the rest of the game you would be obliged to play your tee shots with your brassy or your brassy shots with your cleek.
If you make a high tee, when you come to play your second stroke with your brassy, you will be inclined to find fault with even the most perfect brassy lies when the ball is so well held up by the blades of grass that the best possible shot with this far-sending club should be the result.
