But Mr. Hilton has to take out an iron club, because there are some occasions when it is absolutely impossible to use any other club. He has lost some of his length, he cannot force a ball out of its bunker as he did formerly, and his eye is not quick at judging the distance of about eighty yards which he has to carry to get over some danger. To get the strength of every green fixed in your mind is difficult for any man, for a nervous man well-nigh impossible. When it's time to enjoy the best of fun in the sun, Southern California is a vacation destination that easily springs to mind. It may seem like an exaggeration, but fostering a fun and desirable home complete with unique things to do can encourage friends on the fence to visit the city and make children or family members more motivated and excited to spend time at home. Quaint boutiques for shopping, an old-fashioned pier and luxury hotels in Brighton with a trendy edge are what make this small place such a popular destination with both hip city dwellers and families alike. Even when it's not Halloween, Garriott's house, Britannia Manor, is an interesting place to be.

To be two yards beyond is far better than to be two yards short, for in the first place you give the ball a chance of holing, and in the second place it relieves the eye somewhat to turn round and putt along a different line. You are not making this big investment just to enjoy your table for a year or two; you want your table to work just as good as new for at least 15-20 years down the line. And once they get there, they might discover that they don't want to leave. In the same way you may go round a hazard instead of trying to get over it. I have seen a player who was bad at lofting a ball over a bunker forty yards from the hole, play the previous stroke short in order, instead of having to play a forty-yards shot, what is billiards to make one that took eighty yards to get over the bunker.

There are 18 balls in this game and one white cue ball, which is the only ball the cue ever contacts. I have played many games in my time, but I confidently say that for a test of nerve, golf is far the most trying game in the world, and next to it billiards. To prove how much nerve is the first, second, and third necessity in putting, you may take a man of thirty years old who has been and perhaps still is a good cricketer, and has a good eye for games generally. There can be no doubt that golf is terribly trying to a man. I have played at many games, but golf is played by more faddists than have been returned to the House of Commons during the past ten years. In putting, a man is generally so impressed by the fact that a reserve of strength is needful, that a contrary effect is produced, and he is nearly always short-nervousness in putting in nine cases out of ten makes a man hit too softly.

Set such a man on a putting-green with a putter and three or four balls, and he will very likely putt as well as the best professional; ask him to drive or play a brassey and he will be nowhere. At golf, however, it may be truly said that no one putting-green is exactly like any other-one is fast, another slow, one smooth, another uneven, one with one sort of turf, another with another. In the one case experience begets fear, in the other confidence. Finally there is the case of billiards, not a game that is very closely allied to cricket, but one from which much may be learned. In cricket you either hit a ball as hard as you like or you merely stop; that at any rate is the case when you first go in, and when you are nervous. But it is true of golf that you will find it impossible to avoid being compelled some time or other to play with a club you have little confidence in, and to negotiate distances you hate. A collection of welcoming ski resorts, a maze of tantalizing trails waiting to be explored, and a village packed with restaurants, boutique shops, and beyond mean visitors to Big Bear find that elusive balance of resort-style fun and quaint retreat tranquility from the moment they arrive.
