TOLD AT THE t9th HOLE by Walter ow DEAR to this heart are the When fond recollections those visions restore, The bunkers and sand traps and streams in the offing And players behind me all bellowing, “Fore!” The wide spreading pond and the tree that stood by it, The far distant green with its cute little flag, The large pile of rocks and the ball that lay nigh it, And e’en the strong niblick that hung in the bag; The old battered niblick, the iron faced niblick, The rust covered niblick which hung in the bag. * * * HERE is no man in the game who knows more golf or who talks of it more delightfully than George Low. In fact if you want to get the low down on golf just take a day off and listen to George. It is this veteran of the links who com- forts the duffer by saying, “Never mind your mistakes of to-day. Golf isn’t a game of a day—it’s a game of a lifetime.” And in talking about instruction Low once. pulled a line which amused us greatly. He , “Some try to teach a man golf without ever walking around him to see what he’s doing wrong on the other sid A lovable man and a wise one is George Low. + * * EMEMBER, I remember, The golf course where I played, The golf course where I socked the ball And many birdies mad Thad a record-breaking score, But now it makes me weep To think I'll see the course no more, I played when sound asleep. Trumbull ‘The average man always wants to start at the top. That is why more men don’t play better golf. They are unwilling to give the time to learning to do things right. They get quicker results by play- ing after their own ideas, but they never progress beyond a certain point. Form in golf is not really something put in to make it harder. It is what reason and experience have discovered is the best way to attain certain gratifying results. * * «# Ww you I'd rather tread the links Than any other dame, Although you're really not, methinks, Improving to my game. To keep my head down’s not at all An easy thing to do. My dear, how can I watch the ball When I am watching you? * * « You can work with a good golf instruc tor until you are hitting five satisfactory shots out of every six. Then you start Caddy—Gee, ma’am, ye couldn't ’a’ done that slicker if ye’d been tryin’ to do it! 14 Hartsdale, N. The Christmas rough I I would not see her golfing dressed Though my true love is very fair— At golf I wish she wouldn't wear With my true love you may perceive But, mercy sakes, I wish she'd leave And she, the girl whom I adore, It rarely makes a golfer tired to play golf if when he comes in he can find an audience. find that another golfer with a stronger voice has the floor. around the course riably hit the sixth shot and keep on hitting it. Most annoying! * * * Mr. Kipling says. that there are four and twent ways of inventing. tribal lays and that every singh one of them is right. W: know nothing about that, but we can tell Mr. Kipling that there are considerably over four and twenty ways of playing a golf shot and the so far as we can discover—every single on of them is wrong. * * * The best opening line for y which we know is, Go back slowly.” * * * 29 LOVE my true love with the best, But while she’s fair to see, In her white organdie. I'd call her all of that Her largest picture hat. I like the links to roam, Her high-heeled shoes at home. Might do these things, I ween, ept they want her picture for movie magazine. + * & What mi es him tired is to * *# Of all the golfers doubly blest. The duffer is the happiest; For he’s content to sock the ball And drive it anywhere at all. comicbooks.com
