GOLE MUSINGS WITHOUT METHOD,

LITTLE COMPENSATIONS.

[FROM " TSK TIMES GOLFORENSPONDENT.]

The unknown genius who declared that life is just one damned thing after another must have bera golfer. For when wê cal drive we cannot pitch, when we can pilch we cannot putt, and when we can putt we can do nothing else at all.

But perhaps this is an ungrateful, almost an impious point of view. All we can. reasonably expect it may be said—is that we should drive and play our irons and putt. very badly and all at the same time, it is a relenting Providence whe doles out these little-compensations to us, one at a time, and we ought to be thankful accordingly. However, we look as it, there is no doubt that most of us are always “of it”? with one damned club or another." Even in she very highest circles the same thing may be observed in a minor degree. When Champion is boling putts that would be called fukes if:wo holed them, he is hook- ing a tee shot or two isto the rough. When his driving is, even for him, magnificent, ko will be reported to have “ unaccountably missed "ome short putta or to have been very unlucky in constantly lipping the

hole.

The Champions may be left to take care of themselves. I really don't know why: they ever miss anything, but I am very glad they do and long may they contiune to do so. As for ourselves, I believe that some of us contribute to our own, mie. Fortages When we light on some new dodge for hitting the ball with a particular club, we will not rest, content, Too eager evangelists, wo thirst to preach the pew gospel to all our other clubs in order that the whole bagful of them may at once be pared. Abhough we know very well that n mashiq is not wielded in the same way as a driver, an insane dhaire for symmetry in our game blots that knowledge out of our minds. I blush to confess it, but I have actually of timos tried to apply a success- ful putting cure to my unsuccessful tee shots. It would be equally sensible to administer castor oil in large quantities to A soro toe. As I write I am, reminded by receiving a letter from him, of a-golfng friend of mine. He used to be firmly con- vinced that his one hope of salvation with wooden clubs" lay in bringing his driver, down into the ground an inch behind the ball and leaving it there. I never bould understand why, for he could not drive. At last I have understood, the workings of his mind. One day he had had a very Eocessful encounter with an “explosive, niblick shot, and forthwith believed he had discovered the way to play all shots. Sim- plification is all very well, but it can ho carried too fare

THE GREATEST OF THESE

Driving, iron play, and putting-I sup pose the greatest of these is iron play. We have been told often enough, and catr ses with our own eyes, that it is the iron play that differentiates the first from the second class, player, the gemine sterling front the baser, metal. This havat: least. equally noticeable in the Tower walks ol golling life We may se men who hit far and comparatively sure from the fee and Fiore by no mỹans scrutch players. The most impotent, of old gentlemen can putt as straights Locksley shot his arrow; but when do we ever see the man who in sgood, crisp iron player and yet, taken as a whole, is a poor golfer It is gen erally the one gift that is denied" to "the lats beginner. Dr. W. G. Grace could drive very straight with that litle flick of his great wrists. He was a deadly putter, and in recorded on one occasion, with the object of horrifying J. E. Taylor, to have" putted very well with a cut-down cricket but. But he could not learm the ordinary iroh that, and whan be took what he called his center in hand his partner trembled or rather he would have done so, if such emotion had been possible in those boyish and jovial foursomes.

All this may be the soundest. sense, though possibly tiresome, a sound sense often is-Nevertheless it is tolerably cer- ain that if the average golfer wäre allowed by Providence the choice of one golang gift, ho would choose to be a good driver. And from the point of view of happiness he would probably be right. No man ever died of a surfeit of good drives. The joy of opening the shoulders and hitting the ball bang in the middle of the club is Fresh and perennial. Moreover, nothing given us such a contempt for ourselves, or so unsettles our minds with distructing theories, as a bout of bad driving. When we are really hitting our tee shots we think that we are good, golfers Long putts, cannot produce that supreme and blastul illusion. If our average golfer's first choice would be the gift of driving I believe his second would not be that of iron play bag of putting Certainly, t bes really good putter buldige i Lone can imagin, 14, a delicious feeling of confidence and of superiority to the rest of the world. But there is just this to be said, though it may saveur of sour grapes; no man is always a good paster. Driving if the ommoner, is the more constant gift. Take Yardon though this is an extreme. instance. Who has ever seen him drive aything but well! But when Mr. Jerome. Travers, as fine a putter he ever was seen, met Mr. Palmer in the Sandwich Chan- pionship of 1014, he could not hole short pait to save his life. When the Gods. endów a man with the art of putting, they make a mean and ungentlemanly reserva tion that now and again, at very long intervals, it will forsake him utterly.

WELL IT OUST BRIDGE?

A new occupation has arisen, that of teaching society auction piquet, the new gams for two players which is capturing the fancy of card players who complain that they know all that there is to be known about auction bridge.

Enthusiasts who are bitten with auction. piquet, say that just as nobody who now plays auction bridge ever wants to go back to bridge or whist, so nobody who once tries suction piquet will ever revert to the parent game. And experience is daily proving that many who have taken up suction piquet prefer it fa suction bridge
