DOGS AND LOST GOLF BALLS
PRACTICE AT ST. ANDREWS The granting of permission for dogs to accompany players on a famous golf course in the South of England may have evoked surprising comment in England, but in Scotland the surprise is that it should have done so. Dogs on golf courses are no new development north of the Tweed. On certain courses dogs have gained a useful reputation as retrievers of lost balls. At St. Andrews, especially, this practice has been developed to an art—and an industry. Spaniels are the type most favoured. Some of them have more than a local reputation for the retrieving of balls. Some are credited with earning their masters more than a comfortable wage. Most appear to be able to collect a few shillings a week.
