There are days when two partners can dovetail their putts with so cruel a symmetry that one almost censes to believe in a beneficent providence.
The golfer who hacks himself for any considerable stake against two adver saries is a bold man. There is no type of match more likely to lead to dis appointment. How often do two play- ers, individually almost contemptible. become in combination "invincible. - On the other hand, now and again one, may beat two opponents who should on their normal.form be far too strong, merely by insulting them.

They magnanimously offered me_boles, up:"/I waived the offer aside with a superb gesture and I beat them, not by one hole, but by many. Through pure ignorance my ball seemed to get to that small portion of the green whence one might hope to put the ball dead.
