It is ill-formed. It should be written thus." Shaking back his kimono sleeve he wore a sea-blue cotton kimono, as befitted his years and with a little flourish of his wrist, like a golfer about to make his stroke, he traced off the new version of the character on the white paper.
Martin heartily appreciated Howard's sound method of swinging everything round to himself and trying to make out that it was all on his side to go out to the house in which Joan ought to be. He was not a horseman or a golfer, and the simple life had few attractions for him. Well, that was friendship. "Thanks, old man," he said.
It is pitiful to watch these two ladies forced to play together, while their lords and masters indulge in fierce foursomes, waged for the brute love of victory and incidentally, perhaps for a ball a hole. If I ever marry I shall play with the habitual golfer only when Mrs. Smith is disinclined to favour me with her society on the links.
“That brigand,” said he aside, “is capable of filching all my game.” And he vanished. Returned home, the great golfer shut up his souls in a sack and went to bed, enchanted to have beaten Mynheer van Belzébuth. Two years after the wheelwright of Coq received a visit which he little expected. An old man, tall, thin and yellow, came into the workshop carrying a scythe on his shoulder.

It will soon be time to go indoors and dress for dinner, and we haven't done half our round. I was going to take Tom to the links, Harold.

Travis was not born in the United States, but qua golfer he is American pure and simple. Which shows the danger of too hasty generalisation, even on the part of a genius. And it shows more. When he wrote those words Kipling was fully justified by the facts as they stood. It is the fault of the character of the American people, which frustrates prophecy.
Given fair circumstances, there is no reason why any man should despair of becoming either a scratch player or one who is somewhere very near it, and it is as easy to learn to play well as it is to learn to play badly.
