Présentation de l'éditeur
Twelve of our best, they said. And responsibility of choice lay heavy upon me, for the pen was free to travel where it would. When one is off ones game there is no best. And when one is tigerishly on it the course that has been kindly Is supreme :for of such susceptibility is the wayward golfer. Yet these twelve stand indubitably for Quality among the myriad fairways of Britain. They have been chosen for their charm, and for the golfmg history that looms ever in their backgrounds. Wherefore, of apology in choice, en| ugh. Insistent and envious is the thought of the lucky man who may be about to adventure upon them. For his will be halcyon days. I picture him as one who comes from overseas, eager but unversed. And mentally I exhort him, thus: Do not be embarrassed by the great names these Twelve bear. The better the course the more efficient will be your particular game for this is an axiom of golfing faith. And having acquitted yourself reasonably well upon any one, the mental exhilaration thereafter will be marked, lasting and justified. I wish that I could for the nonce change places with the visitor toE ngland, who is bound upon aB ritish golf adventure. For the joys that will be his could be mine in all their freshness of delight. His will be the alertness of expectation when his taxi slips with him through the maelstrom of traffic towards Euston as theL ondon lights come on. The aloofness and slight furtiveness of Euston will quicken his sense of the mystery of the night that lies ahead. And there will stand the shrouded sleepers, somnolent even before dinner. He will dine tranquilly, as the leisured darkness purrs past the windows. Batteries of eyes will flash from undeciphered towns as the huge train swishes past them. Presently there will be a snick of closed bedroom door and a drifting towards oblivion, the ceaseless throb of motion growing fainter.
