GOLFING i i b s o e (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) it eame to me with a diminct but rather pleasant shock when a well-to-do friend remarked one day last eummer that for his part he hdd no patience with sulférs. He had to play the game, of course. Tis social and financial position pragtically compelled him to. But he was always glad when he évuld find ex- cume o give It the go-by. When he ceuldn’t, ke hilariousty weicomed a thun- der shower which, perforee, put a atop to iv “But why this heterodoxy?™ I queried. “Isp’t the game gvod exercise, and isn't exmrcise in tho open air the one jdckaine- up epeeially recommendeld fof the tired busuiess man of commerce?’ & ‘xercise?
