Hit Ball Too Lovingly.

Walter Travis, the golf expert, declares the playing methods of Misses Ravenscroft and Dodd are precisely the same as those of Miss Rhona Adair and her compatriots of a decade ago. He summed up the differences between the foreign and domestic article thusly: “American women hit the ball too timidly, too carelessly, as it were; as though it was a lovable thing; the English women hit firmly, not to say, vindictively, as if they hated the ball and delighted in hitting it."
