GOLF CLUBS

TO OBTAIN GENERAL SATIS

FACTION.

Golf clubs may be bought ready for use, but those specially made generally give the most satisfaction, states an expert in the "-Manchester Guardian." A golf club may bo either a help or a handicap, and the importance of using suitable clubs cannot be overrated. Many players could improve their game by a charge of club, but, curiously enough, few are really competent to make a selection for themselves. Clubs should never be bought without expert advice, and that of a friend, even though he be a first-class player, is not often reliable. Tho reason for this is that an amateur will always recommend that which is suitable for his own use; whereas a professional golfer accustomed to teaching is better able to select a club suitable to the style of tho player. In most of the big shops where golf clubs are sold in England competent advice may be obtained for the asking. But frequently the club professional is also a maker of some repute, in whose capablo hands the novice is quite safe. Sets of golf clubs are sometimes offered at a price which seems attractive, but their "purchase is very much of a lottery. They are undoubtedly good value, as clubs go : but if too heavy, too light, or otherwise unsuitable, must inevitably be discarded before progress cr.n be made. It is better to pay more for suitable clubs at first than to buy without advice clubs which may eventually prove useless.
