Tramping across the hills a few milas from his home he came across a wonderful course; it was marveli- our, this course. As he looked down on it from the summit of a hill his heart thrilled to its beauties the lake, the stream, the trees, the vel vet greens. Ile set off home at once to ask a knowledgeable friend which club this might be.

When he indicated the direction he was told the name of the club and the road in which Its clubhouse was to be found.

That very evening he went out again, found the rond and the club house. The secretary was charm- ing and, on hearing who his vialtor was, undertook to get him put up, although he knew none of the mem. bers.

My friend thanked him for the courtesy, and gave his cheque for the entrance fee and subscription then and there.

A week later he received a note that he had been made a member. The Wrong Club. He seized his clubs and set out glorious for the course. It was

discovered day for golf-but he then that the Club he had joined was not the one that possessed the thrilling country that be had seen from the hill. There were three Clubs in the vicinity, and he had been directed to the wrong one!

Golf seems, judged by this un- deniable fact, more soclable game than many of its critics will admit.

One course I know was takon over by a water company, and nine of its holes converted into a giant i reservoir. The number of members who resigned from the club was small compared with the total membership. Many have joined other clubs, but still appear at their first club from time to time.

I wonder what would happen in golf if golfers went round seeking the best in courses, refusing to play over courses that failed reach a high standard?

Many of the old courses which date back to the early days of golf might have to be modernised. The classic courses of old need never be touched; they are as good a test of golf as ever they wore for the overwhelming majority of players, even though some modern "tigers" with their new technique and

Test The Ability. A good modern course should be long enough to test the ability of the big hitter to get on to selected greens in two shots. At the same time, it should give the lesser player at these same holes a reasonably easy three-the sort of three that would encourage him to play three good ahots without striving too hard after length with each one.
