NOCTURNAL GOLF.
| I played a wonderful game-for me
/ and I found when I'd got all thru.
| that I'd cut my score to a forty-three,
from my usual sixtytwo. On the first
which commonly takes me eight. be-
! cause I'm not warmed up, my drive
and brassie were long and straight
and my fifth dropped in the cup. On
the second where 1 often dubb with
! both my wooden sticks, l was there
| like a DUCK with either CluD ana hOIeQ
| in DOGGY six. On the third where
one of the apple trees, habitually
| stops my drive, l missed the fruit with
| greatest ease and was down in a nice
par five. l Stunned both hazards on
number four, the bois and the deep
ravine, and trimmed two strokes from
i my normal score, by mashieing to the
| green. On the fifth where L often
| take a dip or two in the seething
foam, two aerial swats and mashie
chip were plenty to bring me home.
| On the sixth where my second is wont
stopped at the edge with my third. a
! On the seventh (they call it a mashie
| soar) 1 flew high over the hellish
ditch and was down in a couple of
more. On the eighth, it's one of those
tricky holes, and a six is my common
| lot, L cleared the cunning but nasty
knobs, with a beautiful mid-iron shot
On the ninth, wherein, every I'M
| friendly match, I chum with the Horti
| Cult, 1 scorned Mrs. Wigs and her
| Cabbage Patch, and a six was the
| sweet result I made the nine in a
forty-three, last night as 1 lay in bed,
| Oh; golf is no trouble, at all for me,
when 1 play a round in my head.
