The clubs have various names and various uses. They are for propelling
or driving the ball, according to the rules of the game. They are the
driver, long spoon, short spoon, putter, iron putter, cleek, iron,
niblick, brassey, lofting iron, and mashie.

A "tee" is a small mound of sand or earth upon which the ball rests. As
before explained, the ball is propelled or driven from the tee into one
of the holes. The term "putting" is applied to the locality in which
this operation of driving the ball into the hole takes place.

The etiquette of the spectator is embraced in the common-sense essential
of being an onlooker and nothing more. Silence is golden. Advice and
comment, should you profess to know anything about the game, are brazen.

championships have been won by men wearing their ordinary street
costumes or business lounge suits. The English and Scotch golf dress,
however, is sack coat, knickers without leather extensions, and a plain
tweed shooting cap. The shirt is white madras, soft, unstarched bosom,
with a golf stock or Ascot. Golf shoes or boots are of heavy russet or
black leather. The hose has a long ribbed top, which is turned over,
forming a sort of heavy band on the calf of the leg. It is made of heavy
worsted, plain or ribbed. This costume will do for winter in the English
climate, when you can not employ too heavy tweeds in the north and west.
The American costume, however, is made of lighter twe
