Excerpt from How to Play Golf
The term beginner, as applied to the game of golf, covers a multitude of varying aims and aspirations; and since advice is surely wasted upon those who either do not need it or have no desire for it, we may, for economical purposes, classify beginners under three heads, and state directly the particular kind of novice to whom the following suggestions are offered. The first class, then, is composed of boys under the age of discretion, who learn games by a natural process of imitation and assimilation; in the second are found all those of dyspeptic habits who have been ordered by their physicians to take a round of golf, either as a tonic or a counter-irritant; the third, and by far the largest, class includes men and women of all ages and temperaments, who by accident or intention, have taken an interest in the game sufficient to inspire them with a desire for improvement, and yet find a difficulty in acquiring any accuracy of form or execution on account of the lack of practical information upon the subject.
