A Mean Golf Caddy Gives Player Advice

1912

Caddy's Mean Suggestion

Mrs. R. H. Barlow, the eastern champion, said at the Cape May Golf club, nodding toward a certain man:

"Yes, he is a very poor player. Even his caddy, for all his liberal tips, scorns him.

"One afternoon he made a wretched foozle and tore up a sod. Lifting this sod in his hand — it was about a foot square — he said to his caddy ruefully:

"'What on earth am I to do with this, John?'

"'If I was you,' the boy answered, 'I'd take it up to the hotel to practice on, sir.'"—New Orleans Daily States.


Don't Quit!

Querulousness is one of the early symptoms of quitting!


Just About

The man who, for fear of being called a tightwad, deprives the children of their rights is about the most despicable specimen of humanity that one can mention off-hand.


Inviolable

It's not so easy to ruin him with whom the pressure of Christ's hand lingers in the palm.—John Inglesant

—The Daily Commonwealth, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, December 17, 1912, page 4.
