F. W. P. “During those long waits, sift the caddie for golf balls. I
think I know where you can get a new one if you hurry.”
C. P. S. “I always improve the time by reading to my caddies from ‘How to
Keep Well.’”
E. McC. “Started by handing him the W. G. N. folded so the Line alone
was visible. He calmly informed me that he read it every morning before
eating, and after breakfast he looked at Brigg’s picture and read the
baseball news. Then with a sly look, he remarked: ‘I ain’t seen you make
it yet.’ Now, you got me into this, and it is up to you to reinstate me
in the good opinion of my caddie—if he ever had a good one.”
E. E. R. “Uplifting one to-day, I found him standing on my perfectly good
Black Circle.”
J. M. W. “Since school began, a small boy who hitherto had been a ‘model
of a pupil,’ has been brought before the principal three times for using
‘the most terrible language.’ Questioned as to how he had spent his
vacation, the miscreant confessed that he had caddied on a local golf
course. The principal suggests that caddies be supplied with earmuffs, to
be worn through the long and profane waits.”
Another way to uplift the caddie is to follow the example of Col.
MacDonald of Edgewater and blow the boys to a good feed and a little
good will.
