Her Idea About Golf.

Many anecdotes are told of some of
the curious ideas held about golf by
people to whom it was a new and
strange game before it's modern pop
ularity had set in. One woman who
had evidently had near view of the
game said: "It is played by two men.
One is a gentleman and the other is
a common man. The common man
sticks a ball on a lump of dirt, and
the gentleman knocks it off"
