...Alice" approach, however, is by far the riskiest, the "Alice" who responds will inevitably turn out to be that eager-looking individual you saw yesterday, the one who occupted the two seats across from you on the trolley...
...British Amateur is the riskiest tournament in the world because, until the final 36, all matches are at 18 holes-which means that luck rather than skill has a large part in determining the winner. For U. S. players the chief hazards always are the wind (invariably a cross one), a course studded with thick gorse and tricky sand traps, greens that require a pitch-&-run shot rather than the backspin approach most U.

...flight cowboys of the North American rodeo circuit circulated around Broadway movie theatres and bars, wearing at the Garden's special behest the widest hats and brightest shirts they could buy.

But one day Corra announced bitterly that...
...British Amateur is the riskiest tournament in the world because until the 36-hole final all the matches are 18 holes, which means that luck rather than superior skill is likely to decide the outcome. At St. Anne's last week, Little had more good luck than bad. In the first round, playing shaky golf, he nosed out an opponent who was even shakier, one up. In the next rounds, while he was playing better, most of the British golfers conceded the best chance of beating him, like Jack McLean, Cyril Tolley and Leslie Garnett, were being eliminated from...
