GOLF BY AIR
Miss Enid Wilson, the British woman golf champion, has a bright idea for an aerial golf match The plan is to play a match comprising four rounds in four different countries —England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales—in one day Players would play one round in England, then fly to Wales and play another round, and so on.
The idea came to Miss Wilson while | making an auto-gyro flight at Hanworth. "It would be a tremendous hustle," Miss Wilson said to a "News-Chronicle" reporter, "but it could be done if one started early enough in the morning. "To reduce flying distances as much aa possible, the golf courses would have to be chosen round the Irish Sea —one in North Wales, one in Cumberland or Westmorland, one in Southern Scotland, and the other in Northern Ireland."
