Golf Note
Sir: At Wabash and Madison, I noticed a whitewings using the Varden grip on his implement. Is this au fait in the profession.

Golf players talk and write a great deal about the niblick, but they devote hardly any time to practising with that tool. It is considered a comical club.
The meanest golfer is Pop Royce, who holes a twenty-foot putt, and acts as if he did that sort of thing every day of his life.
Crack golfers find a week of tournament play physically fatiguing. A dub doesn’t tire so easily. He will play thirty-six holes, day after day, and use up as much energy in one drive as a champ needs for a dozen. Vive le dub!
Mr. Taft’s gabby caddy explains that the president plays “consistent” golf. That is to say, he does not bring in a poor score one day and a better one the next, but brings a poor one every day. Thus we observe again the influence of the judicial temperament. It’s a grand temperament, but it never sets any links on fire.
