whether playing with clubs. shaft

golfers existence when he Is blithe-

oelectable period Is conferred around
the time he makes his first purchase

sailies forth OH some course, public
or private. It matters not, to tempt
tate. AT such q time any shot Is
masnihed in his eyes. as good one;
every yard tho ball travels causing
more or less delight.
The beginner at golf is the only
one who can really enjoy the game.

reduction OF handicaps.

This. II he but realized II. is the

he is Solfing monomaniac. His

vagaries of golf balls is profound
HIS only ambition in life is to get
his handicap reduced and at long

accomplishing this, his wretchedncs.

victim of the handicap habit.
There is nothing In the world to

He has no handicap to live up to.
