Not Always Necessary
to Be Consistent to
Win at Golf

There are devious ways in
which one golfer can defeat an
other in this royal and ancient
pastime Of ours, the simplest
and most efficacious method
being to play SO consistently
and accurately that the other
fellow has little or no chance
whatever Of holding his own;
but on the other hand It is also
possible TO beat an. opponent
without in any way playing con-
sistently well. The wooden club
play from the tee Is always q
tremendous factor one way or.
the other and it is easy for 1
man To drive prodigiously from
the tee and then follow it by
execrable work near the hole
Also, a man with . reputation
for, being . long driver plays

his opponent is outdriving him
