Sir: Asked my caddie his views, and he suggested shorter hours and higher
pay. I guess it is about time to drop the subject.

Practical Suggestions.
When you are put up at a club and invited to sign a friend’s name for
anything you desire, always provide yourself with a hard pencil. It lasts
longer.
Some players, not many, replace divots; but it is better to disregard
them, as the cavity prepared with your iron leaves an ideal brassey lie
for a following player.
After driving into the party ahead, the correct explanation is: “I didn’t
think I was going so far.”
Always use a wooden club on a caddy. A niblick is too messy.
Before pocketing a ball lost by another player it is well to wait until
the ball has stopped rolling.

gallery watched Mr. Rockefeller play a round of golf.
For a certain golfer
A word sufficed.
And the less they told him
The more he sliced.
