Description
Nine wise and witty essays on the game of golf originally published in 1922 that still ring true today.

This new edition includes an introduction, notes on the author and illustrator, and footnotes.
A Hole in OneMaking a hole in one is not an achievement at all, but an experience, such as falling in love.
The Water HazardYour true water hazard is a great call to courage, to the high spirit of the game.
Golf and FriendshipGolf is a matter of pure friendship-one reason more for designating it the king of games. The ideal partner is not determined for you by the caliber of his game or of your own. It is altogether a question of conversation-in a game which permits little-and of mutual sympathies and tastes.
The Golf JokeThe joke that has to be carried over from one shot to the next is a contradiction in terms. It is not a joke. It is a tactless distraction.
The Devil and GolfIf the devil is perfectly at home on a golf-course it is doubtless because that place is so thoroughly well paved with good intentions. There can be no question as to his presence there. How, otherwise, are you to account for certain things that happen to golfers?
