Golf for Women. By George Duncan. (T. Werner Laurie. 3s.
6d. net.)—We remember an article that appeared in an early number of the Cornhill Magazine, some time in the "sixties," which aimed at showing that woman's place on the links—to speak in the Irish fashion—was to keep away from them. To-day woman is an important factor in the finances of many golf clubs. She has her own Union and her own championships; she often absorbs the services of the teacher of golf ; and one of the most brilliant of the younger pro- fessionals has written a book for her special benefit. Mr. Duncan thinks that woman must always be inferior to man at golf " by reason of her slighter physique," but that the present difference—represented by the fact that Mr. Hilton can give Miss Cecil Leitch a half—might be diminished if woman could master "the art of holding her clubs properly." To teaob this is the chief aim of his very practical lessons.
