the drive from the first tee This is
one OF the dub's greatest embarrass-
ments. No matter what he does on
the rest of the course, he would like
to step up in front of the crowded club
porch and bang out a respectable drive
before a critical audience. 1t is the
one weakness which none of US can
overcome. We can become hardened
on the rest of the course TO three
hundred yard ambition, which results
in forty yard trickle, but when fifty
people at the first hole utter an OH
composed of disappointment, surprise,
disgust and amusement in equal parts,
after we have displaced the ball few
feet with a back breaking swing, that
oh" hurts.
One dub we know Of makes it up
with a brother dub to create a ire
mendOus disturbance back of the tee,
during which the first dub drives
hastily when no one IS looking and
hunts for his ball later on about $50
yards down the course. But this in
wolves the deliberate abandonment of
a ball, and besides officiOus friends are
likely to pick it up as it stares at the
world thirty yards from the tee ana
shame you. There is a better way It
requires Imagination and fOrtitUde, but
it viii work. 1t is this:
Take your stand careIessIy on the
driving green. Tee your ball in an
Offhand manner. Then take your
mashie and fixing your eye on an
imaginary putting green thirty yards
ahead, play a careful approach. Nine
times out of ten you will get a good
hundred yards and avoid disgrace
Later on when you have actually ar
rived within thirty yards of the real
green, You can approach neatly and
often dead to the hole by driving with
all your might.
Another time we shall take up brief
y the subject OF driving in general.
