...their own graves with their niblicks, Englishmen wha' ha' wi' Wallace bled their shillings on every green, Scots wahighing their short approaches, wahoing the long grass with their mashies, plus-four scorers who shyly admit that the only shot they are sure of is their fourth putt. Even of these, many get about a course with 72-odd clips, but only three play golf as every able man sensibly expects to. Last week, the handicap figures of Great Britain were issued. Three golfers were listed at scratch-Roger Wethered, Sir Ernest Holderness, Cyril J. H. Tolley...
Miss Glenna Collett, famed Providence golfer, thought of a putt. On a certain 19th green, with the smell of a Southern twilight enchanting her frequently photographed nostrils, Miss Collett had seen that putt obtain its velocity from the pendulum swing of Miss Frances Hadfield, travel in an unwavering line for 20 league-long feet, disappear, with a leisured imperiousness, into the hole, thus winning for Miss Hadfield a leg on the Belleair Heights golf championship (TIME, Mar. 16).

...Modern Golfer, the verve thus suggested seems badly buried in the bunkers of authorship. The garrulousness is there, but the wit runs so low that one joke, about a billiard player watching Vardon putt, has to be pressed into service twice...
...exclamations were heard, when she entered the semi-finals at the expense of Bernice Wall, of Oshkosh, Wis. When she carried Glenna Collett, ex-champion, to the 18th hole, squared her match with a deadly spoon-shot through trees, won at the 19th with a 15-foot caromed (lucky) putt, then jaws dropped, gasps were heard, tongues wagged long and loud. Such prowess in a comparative novice was unheard of. In the final, against seasoned Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, of Philadelphia, twice before champion (1909-10), Miss Browne "cracked." On a soggy course, she sliced with her brassie, lopped...
