SHE KNEW ALL ABOUT 1T.
And So Will Others when They Read
Her Account of Golf


Yes. dear" said the resy-cheeked girl in
the Chevy Chase car to the girl with the
white lawn. tucked, six-rowed. open-insert-
ing waist; yes. brother Jack has told me
all about IT, and have read for six months
the golf column in all of the papers 1 am
going out to the links now; come along and
look on. it's such fun"
The more observe the greater my mys-
tihcation,' replied the other girl
why. 1t is simplicity itself, dear" said
the golf girl. Now. listen will explain
the game in five minutes. Never use any
but single-piece drivers and brassys as
they add twenty yards to your drive and
never come loose in the glue. The spring
is nearer the point of impact and is not
deadened by string, while the grain is con-
tinuous from top of shaft to toe. IL a
straight-faced driver entangles with a bull
ger brassy. the bulger driver will rescue
the straight-faced brassy. If the persim-
mon head comes in the way of the socket
or the forked-spiced brassy. rely upon the
double length of gluing surface, and call
loudly to the caddie for help. The deep
laced, medium mashy will make the con-
Vex-back mashy look like a masher in the
Ponce court the next morning. Ii your
twisted-neck putting-cleek rubbernecks to
see what the deep-faced putting-cleek is
doing at the first tee take the nIblick and
use the mashy-iron to make a long put
over the fourth hazard. Some say the
goose-necked putting-cleek will knock the
centra-ject mashy into a bowl of cornmeal
mush, but 1 have found that the lofting-
mashy will always bring the gun-metal
putter to the scratch in one drive
Really. now?'
Truly. This is important The jigger
concave lofting cleek will make the Short
blade cleek look like Sharkey's face in the
Rubin fight, If You always use the APP
preaching mashy to get over a nine-hole
course when there is no hazard to punish
a fooled tee shot up a bamboozled ravine,
or over an ice pond"
Il Will try and remember that ~
Don't fail, unless you want the divot to
make putting green feel like 20 cents IL
you run across casual water out OF
bounds. just make a penalty stroke for a
lost ball to retrieve the honor, address the
bail, and cry loudly 'one off three or all
even, or three more This play will make
the other girls jealous. II Col DOGGY says
his ball is not played where 1t lies. he is
liar. If you lead off the tee out of turn,
and make medal play. the men won't
mind, as they like the girls to mix the
game up: it's such fun to get II straight
again, with a match play for disqualified
ton If the game is going slow, take the
caddy bag and whack the cross-bar toward
the direction flags. Never press your stokes,
as you are apt to conglomerate bad miss
with foozle You will break your club in
scalffing you will certainly disarrange
your hair in topping. Always duck at
low tee: it is as dangerous as low bridge
on canal If you place too much gravel I'M
der the ball, II will take - lot of sand to
finish the game
so kind of you, dear. to tell me all this"
mot at all. | must particularly caution
you about keeping your head in the same
place until the ball is struck. IL you
should happen to lay your head on the
green while you are making a swing back.
sledge-hammer blow, you might not be able
to find 1t again. Don't be afraid of pre-
liminary waggle; 1t won't hurt you, espe-
cialy if you lay your club down on bunk
er. Always play to cut the grass from I'M
der the ball. 1t saves moving the lawn
If your arms become tired, try a vice versa
showing off and lie dead, particularly in
distance plays. Some players assert that
in long puts the arms should be free from
the body. but prefer to keep my arms on"
what has the greenkeeper to do with the
turf-divots?"
Nothing at all. Sometimes the heather
and furZe plows up scarifier. but the sur
face may be cleared II the yawning bunker
is not asleep. And never forget that the
smartest game of golf can be played from
the clubhouse veranda in a stunning new
gown. Also remember that the hazards
should be left to punish slicing and pulling.S
A good shot should be rewarded by giving
the ball a good lie. It's tired, poor thing.
If bumpy-hole looks careworn, have the
caddie run ahead and flag the train. IL
you think that artificial bunkers and arti-
fetal hazards are the same, you are fiuking
a single or foursome.
$50 good of you, dear"
mot at all: goodbye: here 10 the club
house. Goodbye"
Goodbye
Goodbye: so sweet OF you; goodbye"
"Good-bye!"
