WEEKLY ANECDOTE
LEARNING GOLF When Lord Northcliff decided to learn golf, he went about it in a characteristic way; He engaged a teacher, and every day for a week he drove 100 halls. “I think I’ve got the drive now,” he said. “Now 60 0 with a brassy.” And for a week it was nothing hut brassy work. Then came a week of 600 shots with a midiron. Following this was a g week of nothing but 600 shots with a lofting mashie. The fifth week was given over to the putter, and he putted 60 0 times. The following week he played the course for the first time and made a bogey score! It was a case of*first understanding each club, and then the game—not a had idea! And it was reflective of the man.
