Tee, Faiirway
and Green
by CHARLES NCHICk) EVANS, JH.
Stop! Look! Fore!
By CHICK EVANS

Just the other day 1 read an ac-
count of boy being killed by golf
ball, and by singular coincidence l
heard the next day that good friend
of mine had been struck between the
eyes by ball and rendered uncon-
scious. i~
These were unpleasant facts to see
associated with the game. We are
accustomed to connect fatalities with
other sports where strength is pitted
against strength. and in consequence
muscles are strained or torn, limbs
dislocated or broken and internal in
juries suffered. Golf however, has
been considered free from such mis-
haps because it provides healthful ex
ercise. with free and easy use of
muscles in the open air.
But from time to time we have
borne home to us that golf is not en-
tirely free from accidents; almost
none of them, however, is inherent in
the game, and almost every one is
the result of carelessnes or igno-
rance.
There is certain anxiety to play
shots that makes a player forget the
little rule of golf etiquette that says
one must not play until those ahead
are we'll out of the way. But this
neglect doea not bring about the
gravest danger on the golf links, for
players ahead can only be hit by roll
ing of bouncing balls, and not by one
on the fly. The greatest care must
be taken in regard to players on
parallel holes, for in this case poorly
hit balls can reach another course.
When l was boy l was struck
just above the left eye by a mashie
welded by a still smaller boy. The
slight strength of the boy saved me
from serious injury, but | shall al
ways bear the scar. There is no doubt
a man could easily kill another by
hi aI,,l,
call that for years l took my faithful
mashie to my room every night for
protection against burglars, and 1 am
sure that IL had ever swung on one
he would never be able to "burgle"
again.
My second and only other accident
happened when l was wearing
heavy heeled shoe ana ball came
along and took it off SO neatly that |
hardly knew what had taken place
until l investigated.
The only remedy for golf accidents
il, careful watching. The proof of
this can be found on course which
is the most dangerous one theoreti-
cally l have ever known. Here the
holes are not only parallel. but cut
across, yet in the years of this clubs
existence not person has been hurt.
All of this teaches that the player
himself should be on the outlook and
the possible victim should heed the
word Fore"
There is also an amusing side to
this serious question, and l remem-
Der when l was a boy at Edgewater
some of the kids" were in the habit
Of putting themselves in the way of
speeding golf balls. They had dis
covered that the golfer who hit boy
was so overwhelmed with grief that
he offered consolingly large sum OF
money.
1t was astonishing what knowledge
these caddies showed of the financial
condition of the men whose balls
they intercepted, and if one was ever
foolish enough to allow himself to be
hit by a poor man he was guyed by
the other fellows.
