The young man pointed at the bag with every evidence of distaste.
"You may have these clubs," he said. "Take them away. If you don't want them yourself, give them to one of the caddies."
Across the room the Oldest Member gazed at him with a grave sadness through the smoke of his pipe. His eye was deep and dreamy—the eye of a man who, as the poet says, has seen Golf steadily and seen it whole.
He was not altogether unprepared for such an attitude on the young man's part: for from his eyrie on the terrace above the ninth green he had observed him start out on the afternoon's round and had seen him lose a couple of balls in the lake at the second hole after taking seven strokes at the first.

“The young man came into the smoking-room of the clubhouse, and flung his bag with a clatter on the floor. He sank moodily into an arm-chair and pressed the bell.”

Golf, love, wounded pride—and the Oldest Member’s inexhaustible advice.
Long before sports comedy became a genre, P. G. Wodehouse was sending golfers, romantics, aunts, rivals, and magnificent fools onto the links. The Clicking of Cuthbert gathers ten sparkling stories in which a round of golf can save a romance, ruin a friendship, or expose a character at precisely the wrong moment.
This Nile Book Store edition presents “Fore!” and all ten stories in a clean, reflowable EPUB, paired with the complete public-domain LibriVox group recording.
