To prove how much nerve is the first, second, and third necessity in putting, you may take a man of thirty years old who has been and perhaps still is a good cricketer, and has a good eye for games generally. He is on a smooth green which looks so fast that it terrifies him, while if it should slope slightly down hill he is more terrified still. Medals are won by the player who, while he plays fine golf, still contents himself with safe play: he makes no mistake from one point of view, but this is because he does not often attempt anything that is very difficult. In golf, on the other hand, the links are very much the same, so are some of the clubs also; and if balls are considered, it is so long since the feather sorts were used, that for purposes of comparison we may begin from the year when gutta-percha superseded the old feather ball. The old school of players, on the other hand, say that the superior balls and clubs and greater width of course produced by the removal of whins and bushes, and much horse-rolling, all these facts have tended to make the game easier.

It would be absolutely impossible to play a good game with the feather balls which are exhibited as curiosities in some club rooms, as it would be at cricket to play a good innings with Robinson's bat, of colossal weight in the blade and very thin handle, which you may see at Lords. If you watch an amateur billiard-player in a handicap before a crowd, you will soon see whether he is nervous by the way he judges the strength. If ever this comes to be brought about golf will suffer and become more selfish and individual a game, and, to be critical, this is the one drawback to golf already. Nerves appear to be absent one day and painfully present another: so there are red-letter days when even a nervous man can putt, but the more nervous a man is the worse will he putt, and in no other part of the game will he find nerves play such demoniacal tricks.

Julian let his gaze range over the shelves that ran from floor to ceiling: a proper library, certainly, the sort of place every club had, with its tables for writing the occasional letters, but most of the books seemed to be bound volumes of magazines, and there were more than a few shilling shockers drooping at the ends of rows, or tucked in among the more solid bindings. Julian pushed himself to his feet and followed his friend down the dark-paneled hall. But the ridiculous exhibition of temper and sulkiness that a great many players show habitually, only begins to be humorous when the game is over and the opponent of the irascible one is telling a congenial friend after dinner about it, and the offender is not present. One great value of games is that they are the finest discipline for the temper. The games were held on Thursday 14th of May at Thurstons Billiard Hall, London. I tell you, Caudle, a billiard-room's a place where ruin of all sorts is made easy, I may say, to the lowest understanding, so you can't miss it.
