old me all about it, and | have read for
iix months the golf column in all ofthe
,apers. l am going out to the links now;
come along and look on, it's such fun"
"The more 1 observe the greater my
my stifcation," replied the other girl.
"Why, II Is simplicity itself, dear"
said the golf girl. snow, listen. l
will explain the game in five minutes.
Never use any but single-piece drivers
and brassys, as they add 20 yards to
your drive and never come loose 10 the
glue. The spring is nearer the point
Of impact and Is not deadened by
string, while the grain is continuous
from top Of shaft to toe. II straight
faced driver ~entsngles with 4 bulger
brassy, the bulger driver win rescue
the straight-faccd brassy. II the per-
simmon head comes in the way Of the
rocket OF the forked-spliced braSsy,
rely upon the double length Of gluing
surface, and call loudly to the caddis
for help. The d~eep-fseed, medium
Nasty will make the convex-back
Nasty look like a masher in the police
court the next morning. II your twist
ed-neck putting-cleek rubbernecks to
see what the deep-faced p~utting-cleek
Is doing at the front tee take the niblick
and use the mashy-lron to make a long
put over the fourth hazard. Some say
the goose-necked putting-cleet will
knock the contra-ject Nasty into a
bowl Of corr meal mush, but ] have
found that the lofting-mashy will al
ways bring the gun metal putter TO
the scratch in one drive"
Really, now2"
"Truly. This is important. The
jigger concsve lofting cleek will make
the short-blade eleek look like shark
ey's face in the Rubin fight, II you al
ways use the approaching Nasty to
get over a nine-hole course when there
Is no hazard to punish a foozled tee
shot up a bamboozled r%avine, or over
an ice pond"
II will try and remember that"
Don't fail unless you want the divot
to make a putting green feel like 80
cents. II you run across a casual wa
ter out of bounds, just make a penalty
stroke for a lost ball TO retrieve the hon
or, address the ball, and cry loudly one

This play will make the other girls jesl-
Gus. II Col. DOGGY says the ball is not
played where II lies, he Is n liar. II you
lead off the tee out Of turn, and make
a medal play, the men won't mind, as
they like the girls to mix the game up;
it's such fun to get 1t straight again,
with a match play for disqualification.
II the game is going slow, take the
caddie bag and whack the cross-bar
toward the direction flags. Never
press your stokes, as you are apt TO
conglomerate a bad miss with a fozzle.
You will break your club in scaling, as
you will certainly disarraDge your hair
in topping. Always duck at a low tee; II
Is as dangerous as a low bridge on a
canal. IL you place too much gravel mn
der the ball, it will take a lot Of sand
