shape, is called into service to adj
vance II once more toward the cup.
Each attempt to hit the ball, wheth-
er successful or not, cunts as one
stroke; the person who puts his ball
into the cup with the fewest strokes
win the hole, and the one with the
lowest score for the total number of
holes wins the game; this method of
playing is called medal" play. Some
times, by agreement, a game may be
decided upon holes won rather than
upon the number of strokes; this is
called match play"
When each of a group of players
has "holed out" Of the first cup, all
move a few feet to the second tee,
or second starting place, and pro-
coed to drive in the same name as
from the first tee. Thus the game
continues through the nine or eight
cen holes.
A ball shot into shrubbery or be-
hind trees, from which position it
cannot be struck may be picked up
and thrown into the fairway, with a
penalty of one stroke; if it lands in
a sand pit or in any other position
where the use of a club is possible
it must not be touched by hand. If
a ball is lost another may be put in
to play, with a penalty of n stroke
and when this is done the new ball
is placed on the fairway in the sup
posed location of the one that was
lost.
Implements of the Game
The ball is nearly two inches in
diameter, with surface roughened.
Every player should have four clubs.
The golf enthusiast sometimes has
eight to ten clubs. The clubs average
forty inches in length. Those consid-
cred most necessary are the follow
ing.
Driver-This is one of two clubs
having a wood head, the other being
the brassie. The driver is used on
the ball at the tee.
Midiron-This club is used in drives
in midfield, when the green to be
approached is from 100 to $50 yards
ahead.
Mashie or Lofter-Frequently a
bunker, sand pit, tree or other haz-
ard lies across the path, and the shot
must go above it. A club with an
iron head bent more obliquely than
the midiron is then required; the
mashie raises the ball into the air;
the player sacrifices distance to Sc
cure height.
Putter-This club has a shorter
handle than any other, ard is used
only after the ball has been shot up
on the green. The short handle re-
quires the player to lean toward the
ground, from which position he can
better judge the direction and
strength of stroke required to sink
the ball into the cup.
BRASSIE of wood and differs from
a driver by having a brass plate on
the bottom so it will slip over the turf.
1t is used in the fairway when the ball
lies right for a long stroke.
NIBLICK-Spoon shaped iron club
used to lift ball out Of hole or bad
lie.
CLEEK-Iron club to be used when
lie is such that brassie cannot be used
and distance in stroke is desired.

The Game of Golf


Coli is a game played in large
spaces, the Fairgrounds, or courses,
requiring many acres. A "shorr
course" requires at least sixty to
seventy acres of ground while a
long course" needs $50 acres or
more to give players the opportunity
to develop masterful playing. The
playing field does not require stated
dimensions or regular shape. A
short course" demands sufficient
space to locate nine "holes" from
one hundred to five hundred yards
apart. The direct distance between
the holes must be on lines that are
not crossed or closely approached by
each other. This arrangement is re-
quired to protect the players from
flying shots from the clubs of other
players. The distances between holes
vary as much as possible to give
skill in judging shots. Whether the
course be short or long, the arrange
ment should be such that the last
hole is near the starting point. In
the first half of the play the partici-
pants are playing out" or moving
away from the starting point; in the
second half they are playing in"
or approaching the point from which
they began to play.
The field may be level, or it may
be quite billy and wooded in places.
The hazards of the game increase
with the difficulties the surface pre-
scnts. On flat courses artificial
mounds of earth called bunkers are
made to develop greater playing
skill these are also given the general
term hazards. In front of a hazard
a long narrow pit may be dug to the
depth of over a foot and its bottom
covered with several inches of shift
ing sand. This add greatly to the
difficulty of the player whose ball
falls into the pit for several shots
may be wasted before the ball is
again on the fairway.
Each hole is really a metal cup
four inches in diameter and four in
ches deep, sunk into the ground I'M
til its top is level with the surface.
The ball must be knocked into the
cup, a feat requiring considerable
skill. To facilitate this play the turf
on all sides of the cup for about
thirty feet is made very smooth. 1t
is usually heavily grassed, and the
grass is kept closely cut; sometimes,
however, it is a hard clay surface.
This square is called the green, and
The play on the ball toward the cup
from any point on the green is call
ed putting, the u is given the short
sound.
One person may play alone-a
SINGLE" two may play a match
gamc-a "twosome;" three--a three
some," or four--a "foursome." Only
once in playing each hole may the
ball be placed definitely in position
for a stroke, and that is for the first
stroke off each starting place, or tee.
In these instances a small mound of
sand about an inch high may serve
as a base upon which to rest the ball.
The ball is then struck by a club
called the driver; it is sent as nearly
as possible in the direction of the
first hole, and at the spot where it
drops another club, the mid-iron,
cleek, brassie, niblick or other special
