Hillcrest Country Club Los Angeles, California Gentlemen:

You may have your ideas 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 dross 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 "hole" is a tin cup in the centre of a "green". A "green" small parcel of grass coating about $1.98 a blade.

Д

The Idea is to get the golf ball from a given point into each of the eighteen cups in the fawost strokes and the greatest number of words. The ball must not be thrown, pushed or carried. It must be pro pelled by about $200 worth of curious looking implements, -' esi pecially designed to provoke the

owner.

After each hole has bien. com- ploted the golfer counts bls strokes. Then he subtracts six and says, "Made that in five. · That's one above par. Shall we play for afty centa on the next hole, too, Ed?"

After the final or eighteenth hole, 'the golfer adds up his score and Etops when he has reached eighty- seven. He then has a swim, a pint *: of gin, sings "Sweet Adelino" with six or eight other liars and calls. it the end of a perfect day.

Very truly yours,
