Most boys and girls are somewhat familiar with golf, and the Juniors will probably prove no exception. Any kind of “parlor golf” may be introduced, as simple or as elaborate as you please. Here is one kind that must be interesting, called “Quiet Go-lol-uf,” and explained by Vincent Van M. Beede as follows:

“This game is meant especially for boys and girls who know something about the royal and ancient game of ‘golf’ sometimes called ‘go-lol-uf’ just for fun. Seat your friends about a table, pass around pencils and paper, and then say:

“‘We are going to play go-lol-uf. I hope you won’t squabble much. This game is a little different from the outdoor kind. Here you are expected not to get into a hole. I shall pass to each of you a card on which is written something about golf. Write your answers on the large sheets; and don’t forget, please, to write your names at the bottom of the sheets. Number the answers, of course. At the end of every two minutes I shall yell “Fore!” and everybody must pass his card to his left-hand neighbor.’

“Here is a list of terms:

“1. A dancing-party. (Ball.)

2. A drink. (Tea.)

3. A box in which to keep the vegetable from which this drink is made. (Caddie—Caddy.)

4. A society. (Club.)

5. The man who rows next the coxswain in a racing-shell. (Stroke.)

6. A common color. (Green.)

7. Bold. (Brass(e)y.)

8. The man who holds the reins. (Driver.)

9. A number. (Fore—four.)

10. A guess. (Hazard.)

11. Used for smoothing clothes. (Iron.)

12. A story that is not true. (Lie.)

13. A piece. (Slice.)

14. Something with which one eats. (Spoon.)

15. The noise made by an animal that does not like Thanksgiving. (Gobble.)

16. A place where hay is kept. (Loft.)

“The rewards might be a golf-club, a scarf-pin, a score-book, a pair of balls, or a rubber tee.”

Another game of golf is the one played on a table wound with a somewhat crumpled cloth. Each player is furnished with a pea and a pin by way of ball and stick. It is very good fun when there are players enough to make the contest exciting; for the winner is the player who is first to roll the pea up to goal. The pea that collides with another, or pushes it, or even touches it, is sent back to the starting-point.

Other games mentioned elsewhere in the book may be substituted for one or the other of these, in case not all present are enthusiasts on golf; but the second one could be adapted to the veriest novice, while interesting to all. Refreshments of cake and chocolate may be served, and it would add to the fun if the small iced cakes were decorated with various golf emblems.
