1:42
It never occurred to me that it was possible to get enjoyment out of a golf course by any method other than by playing over it , but I had keen pleasure all the afternoon in studying the men who frequent the Woodvale links . My refusal to play created a sensation , and I enjoyed that . It is amusing to study the way in which different players go about this game . The railway station is only a few hundred yards away , and as I watched those men who came on the 1:42 train from the city the thought occurred to me that I could have picked out the good players even had I been a stranger to those who approached the club house . You can class the various types of golfers by their mannerisms , even if you have never seen them with a club in their hands . For instance there were two members who left the station platform at the same time -- Duff and Monahan . Both are men of standing in the community , and both are charter members .
