Local players have been much occupied during the past month with the various competitions in progress. A four-ball match last week was won by Matheson and Dykes with a splendid card of 6 up, while other good cards returned were those by Bateman and Titterton, 3 up, and Bryan and Butts 2 up. The Senior and Junior Handicap tournaments are now completed with well-merited wins for Steedman in the senior and Bateman in the junior.
