The ball must not be thrown, pushed or carried.
Hillcrest, Country Club Los Angeles, California Gentlemen:
You may have your idens about golf but I have mine. Golf is a form of work made expensive enough for a man to enjoy it. It is physical and mental exertion made attractive by the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,- 000 club house.
Golf is the simplest looking game in the world when you decide to take it up, and the toughest look-. ing after you have been at it ten or twelve years.
A golf course has eighteen holes, seventeen of which are unnecessary and put-in to make the game. harder. A "hola" is a tin cup In the centre of a "green". A "green" is a small parcel of grass costing about $1.98 a blade.
The idea is to get the golf ball from a given paint into each of the eighteen cups in the lowest strokes and the greatest number of words. The ball must not ba thrown, pushed or carried. It must be pro- pelled by about $200 worth of curious looking implemente, es- pecially designed to provoke the owner
After each hole has been com- ploted the golfer counts his strokes, Then he subtracts six and says, "Made that in five. That's one above par. Shall we play for fifty cants on the next hole, too, Ed?"
After the final or eighteenth hole, the golfer adds up his score and stops when he has teached eighty- seven. He then has a swim, a pint of gin, sings "Sweet Adeline with six or eight other liars and calls It the end of a perfect day.
Very truly yours,
