Nisbet 1900 ; red cloth with gold lettering ; no dustjacket ; "It was rarely except on the Links that I saw Freddie. It was my custom and that of several others to walk round and watch his play at golf but I never even saw him compete for the Medal or in any greater contest than a match over both Links with Andrew Kirkcaldy. We used to make little bets with him in ordinary matches that he would not do the round under seventy-eight or some such figure and we were apt to lose our halfcrowns. At first his extraordinary driving was the chiet attraction but he later aimed more at accuracy and drove much within his powers. I remember his coming into the Club and asking whether it was worth while to measure a drive he had made. He had in fact "overpowered" the Heathery Hole the thirteenth as you come in on the right-hand course. The drive has been disputed and I only narrate what I remember. Perhaps my recollection is inaccurate. He was playing behind his brother Willie and when the brother and partner had played their second Freddie's ball flew over their heads and lighted on the long narrow table-land which there crosses the Links. Freddie on approaching the hole could not find his ball and I think gave up the hole and then found his ball about "hole-high." The day was of a light frost brilliantly sunny and with the faintest flicker of air no breeze. I remember seeing Mr. Tait measuring the distance to the place where the ball was found and I think the whole extent was about 350 yards the "carry" being about 250 yards. Probably there is a more authentic record than my memory supplies. At first his extraordinary driving was the chiet attraction but he later aimed more at accuracy and drove much within his powers.
