Excerpt from The Enchanted Golf Clubs In fact, I am Jacky Gore, and although the War Office addresses me officially as Major the Honourable John William Went worth Gore, Ist Royal Light Hussars, nothing is sweeter to my ear than to hear, as I Often do, a passing remark such as There goes good Old Jacky Gore, the finest sports man living! I take it for granted that the reader will accept this candour as to my performances in the spirit which inspires it, and not as a stupid form of self-conceit. I desire to be absolutely confidential and unreserved with those who peruse these pages, and a false modesty would be as misleading as it would be untrue to my nature. For true modesty, as I conceive it, consists in an accurate valuation of one's own worth; an estimate of one's self that is conceived, not for purposes of advertisement, but rather to foster one's own self-respect. Thus, were these pages designed only for the eyes of sportsmen, there would appear no other de scription of myself than the laconic intima tion, I am Jacky Gore.
