the rough and rolls right at his
feet.
1t does no good to close your
eyes, or pretend the little man
isn't there. He becomes magnet.
You know the ball will follow
him wherever he goes. After a
while you just give up and hit
the ball to him. It's easier that
way.
A slight variation of this hazard
prevails in the tropics. Here
the look-see boy is a cheerful
little Malay with a sublime and
wonderful faith in your accuracy.
He stands In the middle of the
fairway-with his back turned.
This saves him the trouble OF
turning his head as the ball
passes.
He's lucky, too; you seldom hit
him. With him as with the
Chinese tot, it's easier to drive
OF the course than to worry.
And then there are snakes,
an inevitable accessory to any
golf course in the tropics. Ap-
parently they come through the
jungle from miles around, little
grass snakes, poisonous krits and
occasionally a lethargic python.
There is a theory that they like
to tickle their tummies on the
stiff wire grass on the green's.
However, they have their ad-
vantages. Players sometimes
practice a swing or correct visual
faults by killing the snakes with
their clubs. But 1t takes a little
extra concentration. in view Of
the fact that the snake may
strike before you DO.

golfng institution. The look-see
boy is an assistant caddie, who
stations himself ahead OF the
player, where he can follow the
ball. At first this seems like a
good idea which will save many
an otherwise lost ball.
But the Chinese are an intel
ligent people with a distaste for
expending energy to no purpose.
So the look-see boy tries to figure
where the ball is going to 60
before he takes himself thither.
He studies the player closely on
the first two or three holes. He
notes, say, a tendency to slice
of to the right.
Inevitably thereafter he sta
tions himself of the right Of the
fairway. Inevitably the drive
