With a sufficient number of bunkers and hazards, however good the greens and lies through the greens may be, you nevertheless find that golf is not an easy game except when you are at the top of your form, and when that rare event happens, everything is easy in games and sports of all kinds. Good exercise, easy to play, and the more the merrier.

You can do this far more easily at billiards than you can at golf. All are welcome, partners can be arranged. Tennis, for instance, when you first fail to win a short chase, or your opponent keeps on serving nicks; billiards, when your ball is always under a cushion, or the balls dead safe time after time; cricket, when an umpire has given you out by a mistake of judgment-all these are trials, and they form part of the discipline of life.

The hideous feeling of discomfort that comes over a player when he has topped his ball and made a deep hole in it, the terrible persistency with which ball after ball is sliced, the missing of one or two really short putts, the bad luck that attends him when putting really well, the way the hole is missed by a tenth of an inch, the frequent bad lies-all these combine to make life a burden.
