Sir: As a fellow sport will you kindly assist me to hand a few remarks
to those people who speak of golfers as “athletes.” Athlete is an
over-worked word, anyhow, and to tack golfers on to its tail, is about
the limit. To my notion golf is a game fit only for ladies and doddering
old men. You are at liberty to give my address to any golf “athlete”
who thinks he would like to “take a fall” out of me.—Buck (_Ex-champion
tiddlediwinks athlete._)

One or two professionals have admitted that when you look at the hole in
putting the ball keeps wonderfully on the line, but they think they sense
the distance better by looking at the ball.
