GOLFING NOTES. AMAZING OROWTH OF LADIES' SKILL
THE MODERN GIRL.
[BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF "THE OBSERVER."]
Few things of recent years have been mote remarkable than the development in ladies golf, not only in Britain and Amerien particularly, but in the world generally. Their name is legion", and their keenness, is tremendous, more so even than that of their husbands and brothers. The ladies are the best cus- tomers of the professionals, and without them half of the professional golfers would shut up shop. For works ahead they are looked up for lessons to budding Wethereds and Leitches At Mid-Surrey, for example, J. H. Taylor will stand for days, for werks, and for months together, imparting instruction, and 20 per cent. of his customers are ladies. Nothing sa soul-destroying could possible be imagin, ed, but, 'curious to relaw. Taylor, Var don. Sherlock, and others seem to like it. At any rate, it is not the least pro- fitable side of the professionals' business. How differnt is present-day ladies' golf from that of thirty-five years ago, when the incursion by women into the runima of aport, bitherto monopolised by men. was looked upon with jealousy dis favour, and suspicion. There still existä a race of die-hards who put a ban upon lady golfers. Beither permitting them to play on the men's links nor to use the clubhouse. The race
is dying slowly, but gradually.
One cannot help wing amused at the advies tendered in all sincerity by an ex-amateur champion to a well-known lady golfer, who sought his views regard. ing the formation of the Ladies' Golf Union. His advice was. Don't, and his reasons were!—
Women never have. and never can, unite to push any scheme to success. They are bound to fall out and quarrel on the smallest or no provocation they are built that way.'

Constitutionally and physically women are unfitted for golf. They will never last through two rounds of a long course, in a day. Nor can they ever hapë to defy the wind and weather encounter- ed on our best licks, even in spring 13] Summe · Temperamentally. the strain will be too great for them. The first ladies championship will be the last, unless I and others are greatly mis- taken. The L.G.V. Seems scaredly worth #il."

*
With delightful pen, Miss Stringer, affectionately known as "Aantic" to thousands of her golfing nieces,", traces the history of the emancipation of women's golf down to the present day. The revolution in clothes is quite as striking perhaps as the evolution in the game itself. With feelings of horror the modern "bobbed" "or "shingled" girl will read of the golfing costumes of thirty years ago. There was the sailer hat per ched on the top of the head like a penny bun, the high, stiff glazed collar that. held the neck an in a vice, and caused a raw score all round the left side. This collar was a monstrosity. And Miss Stringer says that "every self-respecting woman or girl had to have a waist, and the more wasp-like it was the more one was admired." "Skirts were "long and voluminous, and were worn with stiff belts, which were very uncomfortable, "and we sometimes wore two petticoats, which came down nearly to the bottom of the skirt, and made it all very heavy and eumbrous."
MISS LEITCH'S ENTLY.
Sixteen years ago saw the LG.U. Bag proudly flying on the staff of the Royal and Ancient Club at St. Andrews, but for some reason, not explained, it has never flown there since. Miss Stringer regards the St. Andrews Championship "as the most epoch-making event in the history of the Union, for not only did our presence there indicate that any pre judices against women's intrusion on men's rights had been overcome, but the subsequent happenings showed that we had justified our rights to play over the ground where other women had played three bundred years before." It was also at St. Andrews on that occasion that Miss Cecil Leitch, then just a flapper, The greatest indy golfer the world had bitherto seOD, made her debut.
