cept with eheerfulness, to keep a tight
rein on the temper, to be tair and to
despise cheating, to be generous to
one S opponent, and where team work
is involved to play for the side rather
than for one s self. One defect of golf
lis that usually there is no team work,
but in the "two-ball foursome, where
each side plays with only one ball. the
two partners taking alternate strokes,
there is a slight introduction of this
spirit But one of the chief features of
golf is the necessary faith in the per
feet honor of each player.
There are requent opportunities for
the dishonest person to alter the posi-
tion of his ball without detection so as
to make a perfect "lie' out of one
which would have been almost unplay-
able. 1t is also possible to reduce
one s strokes by happy knack of for
getting one here and there. The real
spirit of the player is very apt to ap-
pear in games. Some people are always
pleasant and happy however badly
they may be playing; others, though
they are few, spoil the game of all
concerned by grumbling and incessant
explanation.
"a certain frequent characteristic
smallness in women seems to me to lie
in the direction which games will tend
to alter. This, think, is often due to
their not having had the corners rub
bed off in the manner of men by a
rather rough contact with one another.
| Golf gives opportunity to become rid
! of this, and, furthermore, it provides
chance to meet men on equal terms
on their own ground,
/ One may hear different opinions ex
pressed concerning the appearance Of
women playing golf, and there is rea-
4 son for this difference-they make a
variety of pictures. But there is moth
ling in golf which makes them pleasant
\ to behold or the reverse, except this
THAT it lends itself TO outrageous cos
tuners or to such as are simple and be-
coming according to the taste of the
wearer, and that the naturally graceful
| or the naturally awkward can find eX-
lceptional opportunities to exhibit their
+ tendencies So far as dress is con,
cerned, and speaking perhaps more es-
lpecially of the south, men are the
greater sinners. 1t is not infrequentlv
possible to see the trim, well groomed
man of fashion turn on the golf course
into an unrecognizable scareerow. Wo-
.men ON the whole dress for the game
with taste, and their bright sweaters
l0r coats between their simple skirts
and hats give a most pleasing touch to
the whole course Nothing can be more
becoming of a good figure than well
chosen golf costume. As for their ap-
tpearanee in the various stances OF
tho gone, one may summarize by say
ing that grace and good golf 60 hand
lin hand, while awkwardness is an in
dieation of room for Improvement in
the score"
