NOTES AND COMMENTS.

(By ‘

“Veteran.”)

We are constantly reminded by golfing experts that matches are won and lost on the greens. This is true, but not many golfers take the advice to heart. If they did they would give more time to the practice of putting. A golfer may play a decent long game with little practice, but never a good short game. * The talkative golfer is invariably unpopular. There is nothing which annoys the average player more than to have a partner who is continually chattering during the game; how one longs for a heavy niblick and the quietness of a deep bunker when one of these talkative people break in with some trivial remark just as one is settling down to take a shot. Judicious conversationalists arc much sought after, but the annoying chatterer is never asked for a return game.
