GOLFERS WHO MAKE THE MOST OF A HANDICAP.
AND SOME OTHERS.
is,
A good story new to me that of the golfer who challenged another to a match. "Give me a stroke a hole," he said, "and I'll play you for ten shillings."
The other protested that though he knew nothing of the capabilities of his adversary, the handicap sounded too great.
"Very good!" answered the first golfer, "Then I'll give YOU a stroke a hole and play you for the same stake!"
Whether this story seems funny to you or not must. I suppose, de pend on how many golfers you know who like to make a suggested match an opportunity for striking a bar- gain. In the old days, long before handicaps assumed their present importance, many a match was won by skilful negotiation in the club- house, rather than by skill with clab and ball. Even to-day there is a great deal of this bargaining going on, and sometimes think that it makes for A better game than striking the difference betwen two rigid handicaps.
Handicape.
An enormous number of golfers who have been playing the game for n lifetime have handicaps that have not changed for years. And some men who play, from handicaps be tween eight and sixteen have a way of pulling out remarkable golf for their handicap when the Importance of the occasion warrants the effort.
Myself, I confess to enjoying a match that is based not too strictly on oficial handicaps.
Most golfers will have had the experience of knowing players whom they can beat off their handicap at any time, and others they can never beat and, though it is not easy to say that the handicapper is at fault, there must be an impulse to find a way round this.
The four-ball gama reveals the weaknesses of the bandicap.
A four-ball can too easily become, to all intents and purposes, a two- ball. One player on each side may 411|||||||||||||||||||!shoulder the match, while the part ners may make only a fugitiva ap- COASTWISE

pearance if they come in at all. Apart from those hardened golfers who are capable of doing anything from a sixteen handicap, there is a vast army of players whose handicap is of no real value to them.
The Foursome Better Than Four-Ball.
When a scratch golfer plays an eighteen handicap man, the chances are in favour of the better golfer every time.

I can Bee no reason why this should be, but I set it down as a personal experience.
That is why the foursome is so much better golf than the four-ball. The long-handicap man partnered by

The long-handicap golfer, finding himself with such a lead over a more experienced player, will be tempted to think, "This is too good to be true!"--and so he will allow his lead to slip away.
