The Happy Golfer: Being Some Experiences, Reflections, and a Few Deductions of a Wandering Golfer

The Happy Golfer: Being Some Experiences, Reflections, and a Few Deductions of a Wandering Golfer by Henry Leach, 1914. Being some experiences, Reflections, and a Few Deductions of a wandering Player. The first of the seven wonders of golf is a mysterious fascination that it sets towards mankind, from which, overwhelming and enduring, no people are immune. The game seizes men of all ages, of every nationality, all occupations, dispositions, temperaments—all of them. The charm acts upon men and women alike. Sometimes we have suspected that males are more whole-hearted golfers; but there are circumstances of quick recurrence to cause a doubt, and even were there none the fancied difference would be capable of explanation. It has nearly become an established rule that they golf the most who golf the last, for there is no man of the links so keen, so simple and humble in his abandonment to the game, as he who but lately held aloof and laughed, with many a gibe upon the madness of the class.
