QLF, QA 1938 BV MEA BEMCE B Save the cenversation for the lock- er room! Don't turn yourself into a human talking machine out on the golf course. ' Golf is a great game _for good fellowship but needless talking will spoil any good foursome. Get & player in with you who thinks he has to talk all the time in order to be a good fellow and you'll find the scores going up in the air. On the tees, it is all right, and through the fairway, but don't talk on the green and. of course. never talk when your fellow players are shooting. It usually takes {wo people to cary on a conversation and if you happen to buck up with a.couple of talkative birds. who discuss every- thing from the stock market to the new pro while you.are making an important shot you probably will duck them the next time. Be courteous te your playing partners and keep still when they are shootfng. Don't wait until he yells “Fore” before you shut up. Show enough interest in his game o at least notice when he is shoot- {ing and keep quiet when he is do- ing so. The very first rule in the eti- quet of golf covers this subject. Here {it I»: “No one should stand close to or directly behind the ball, move, or talk. when a player is making a stroke. ¥ SETS NEW COURSE RECORD Gullane. 8cotland.
