Sir: I am resolved to essay the game of golf again after having yielded
to discouragement for a season. But now I am fired by a new ambition.
Reason has taught me that the greater the number of swats I can get
at the pill the more I get for my money. This attribute of mind will
enable me to preserve an even temper and measurably reduce (or reduce
measurably) my output of rude language. I shall welcome on the bunkers
or elsewhere the theory that I am better off where I am than where I’m
going next. If I can get a hundred wallops in a round I get more fun and
exercise than my friend who finishes in eighty, and is chesty about it.
