employ a boy, known as a "caddy" to carry the bag or receptacle in
which the different clubs are kept.

The brassie is much like the driver, except that it has a brass head
or plate on the hitting part. It is used for a good send when the ball
is in a favorable place.

The cleek and lofter are iron-headed clubs, and are used to drive the
ball far and low. A hundred and twenty yard stroke is good, but not
unusual.

The golf ball, as I have said, is made of hard rubber, but in learning
the game any hard ball of medium size will do, and one club will be
enough with which to practice.

Hazards are obstructions in the way of the ball. A bunker is a hazard,
such as a fence, wall, hedge, depression, or trees.

The ground between the holes should be cleared as far as possible of
all obstructions. Hazards are not objected to by good players, as they
add to the sport.

The game called "singles" is where two players, each with his own
ball, play against each other.

A "foursomes" is when two players play against another two, each side
having a ball and the partners playing alternately.

Often a skilled player will match himself against a number of
inferiors; this is called a three or four ball match.
