him this beginner is no different from 20
others who have preceded her. 1t is going
to be a duh game.
Her companion has played about 10
times and is therefore expert. With great
show of form he takes his turn at the
tee, and after performing all the sacred
rights Of the game drives Off With a
creditable imitation of a birding essaying
its first fight the little white ball starts
out bravely enough, but drops tired out

Thus they proceed The tactful caddy
offers a midiron or brassie, when the
inexpert ones were on the verge of asking
for a niblick or a cleek.
Thus they learn. BY the time the sixth
hole is arrived at the beginner painting

ing out, murmurs Water and sinks
with more fervor than grace on one of
the little green benches that are conven-
iently placed roundabout.
The scenery Is indescribably lovely.
Leafy woods invite one to stop and rest
and do their best to change an ardent golf
enthusiast into an arrant Stacker. An
emerald green fairway rolls into the dis
tance like a wonderful velvet carpet. The
babble of the creek browns out the babble
of boasting golf fiends. All is peace and
serenity But up! up! to arms! Not the

18th hole" he says mercifully. Jumping
in this fashion entails the rocky ascent
of mountains and the perilous descent Of
sharp declivities. Narrow bridges must
be crossed. Ultimately the clubhouse,
where a refreshing shower awaits, is ar
rived at.
So the first game is played. To those
who have the temerity to play second
and then a third, I suppose golfng is the
sport of sports. Some, however, prefer
to preserve the memory of their first

DLATING golf at Cobbs Creek is more
i than just good fun. It's real sdven-
ture, Involving the climbing OF mountains,
the fordine Of streams. the moving Of
grass and the digging of turf Given the
strength OF a sandow, the climbing pro-
clivities Of Dora Keen, the endurance
of a Ted Meredith, plus the agility of
Biondln, the tight-rope walker, one might
be able to arrive at the 18th hole OF that
very picturesque course without feeling
like Jess Wizards opponent at the end
Of the goth round.
But to all ordinary mortals I recon-
mend after the first game softly padded

bed with the daily attendance Of an ex-
pert masseuse. Those who follow this
treatment may in time learn to forget
that they possess innumerable shoulder
muscles they had wot not of before and
all of the vertebrae that the physiology
books record. There are some, however.
I venture to predict. who will carry the
memory OF their first golf game to their
very graves.
The first thing that impresses the be-

Mona Lisa herself does not wear coun-

ribs in the unnatural position that her
companion has told her is the only proper

gallery. consisting of impatient golfers
waiting TO get on the course and the
ubiquitous caddles, watch her with an
inquisitive air. After describing three cir
cles In the ozone which would make a
whirling dervish green with envy, the
beginner, by a miraculous stroke feels
her stick come in contact with the ball.
The ball, however, instead of whizzing
through the air after the manner of bird
