Managing Director. (39) Haarkong, rgth January, 1910,

The golfer is to be envied who can sully forth on a round with such an assortment as this. He must be either a good golfer, or a sanguine one. If he be not a good golf one's suspicions 'ara aroused that he has bought the set at home auction sate, or that he has been reading "Ad- vanced Coll," or that he has been watching the great masters and means to copy their methods to the letter. It is almost unkind to suggest that he is doing a wrong bath to himself and 10 caddie. For there are quite a lot of Rolfers who do conscientiously believe that

there is a certain order in which they must use their clubs, who would na more dream of tak ing out their marbie before, their cleek then they would of eating fish before soup,

Each of these clubs may be used more than once-usually is used more than once- but ore may not be used before the preceding club has been brought into action. The goliere who insist on playing the game thus decently and in order may be known by the fact that, while a different club may be used, the result is almost invariably the same. I mean that uple's one examines the club in use, it is almost impossible to tell whether a drive or a running up approach has been întended.

Now, it cannot be too farcibly laid before the golfer that the correct number of clubs be carry coincides exactly with the number the plaser can effectively use–clubs laken out for practice excluded. ・・・

The bint I bave just given may, or may not, be useful to my golfing readers. There are golfers who prefer variety of implements to good results, and these will probably continue to bring on to the links every club they pos sess. But the question of how many clubs we ought to cany directly affects the caddis in whom we are none too soon taking a genuins' Interest. And if you askea caddie how many clubs you ought to carry he will probably reply! "I should advise you to stick to your cleek."- Mark Allerton in Pall Mall Gouette.
