[By FI.AC.bTIC*.] A somewhat diiconcoi ting wind I:lst-week-end troubled the majority ol players, and scores in the majority of eases were not However, there were some notable exceptions.

At Hare wood that consistent player. A. JI. lilank, was in great form, ami his score of 69 is u match record for the course. Jt is understood that m a Iriendly panic lie has returned a card of 08. His card was as follows: Out —Blank .-343345 4 4 3—33 JJogey : 45435454 3 —38 lu—Blank : 4 3 5 5 o 3 4 4 3- 30 l'ogey : 5 3 I o o 3 4 u 3—37 This score includes no fewer than eight "birdies," and as he lost only two holes to bogey, ho finished ti up. Another good performance under the conditions was that of C. A. Seymour at Shirley. In the lirst round of the Campbell Cup. he went round in 72. < his figures leading: | -Out: 54 3 5-4 44 4 2-35 In: 4 4 5 3 4 3 6 4 4—37 ' Tins is two below the scratch score of tiie course. At Hagley, the most important events vcie the liuais or. the -»leare3 aim JdLaglcy Cups. The lormer, for senior players, resulted in a win ior Lindsay Russell, who, in receipt or 5 strokes, beat Al. Foley o up and 4. Both players played their long game well, but Foley was weak on the greens. The junior cup was won by C\ 11. "White, who beat Ej Spitz 3 up and 2. This is the second time "White has won this eup. Spitz deserves to bo congratulated on reaching the final, as he is a comparatively new player, and lias improved very mueh. A bogey match at Hagley was won. by "W. G. Morrison (9), w»o finished all square, It. V. Kennedy (12), 1 down, being second. In the final of the Scales Cup at Avondale, J. Millard (scr) and Mi's Hevnolds (20) beat IX Adams (10) and Miss Johnston (22). by 2 up. Millard and Mrs Reynolds won this event last year. In the semi-finals of the members' cup, J. Millard beat M. U. Kemp 4 up and 1,- and C, W. Oborn beat K. More 3 up and 2. At Itussley, the senior stroke .handicap was won bv G. K. MeAllum, whose net score of 74 i* one under bogey. This plavcr is showing steady improvement. F. C. I'airelough was second with a net 75. In the juniors, L. F. Tisdall (18) and J. R v Stevenson (22) tied with scores of 75. In the play-off for the tie in the Rus'ley Clock. W. J. Hunter and Miss E. Ward beat E. 11. Watkins and Miss G. Baxter; and the tie in the previous week s senior stroke competition between L--15. Robinson and F. AY. Hobbs was won by Robinson.

The Rangiora course is in splendid order at present. The turf on the fairways is in splendid condition, awl with water on the greens a uiucll needed improvement is noticed. a number of visitors front Christchureli have played during the last few weeks. E. M. Macfarla'no played ■ a 72, four under bogey, rmd in the afternoon did a neat 35 for tiie last nine holes. Professional H Bluir and Denys Hoare had a round with J. Galloway and P. Ellis (club captain). Ellis, who plays on the 0 mark turned in a 74. It seems as u Galloway may find him a serious contender for the club championship this year. So many new members arc .applying for admission to. the Tcnipleton Country Golf Club that tlic committee are considering the advisability of opening at least nine holes of their No. 2 course at once, and the remaining nine holes before the .cud or the season. Tho No. 2 course planned is 0120 yards in length, and its fairways oven more interesting than the No. course, but not so- well sheltered. 1 ree planting on it,, however,-is being taken in hand at onec.

It is proposed that when the No. course is opened it will bo avadaois for non-handicap players only, as at the present time these players are continually having to let faster players through, owing to the congestion, and it is considered that they will enjoy their game more on. & special course of their own. This is probably an innovation in New Zealand, and the Templeion Club i* fortunate in having sufficient land to make it possible to lay out two full championship mhu'so links, and to provide new players with u course entirely their own. Tlus will also belp to relieve the congestion on the No. 1 course, which at present, due to the increasing membership and the number of visiting players, is becoming crowded. Seventy-two visitors were present, for example, last week-end.

In addition to the two golf courses, a special area of land (ton acres) has been earmarked for croquet and bowling groen* and for tennis courts, and as it is tho intention of the couinuttou to keep the links in. play during the summer months, it will be seen that the Hub is developing into a real oountrv club. The fairways of the No, 1 course are now in gi'eat order, and the new greens being laid down should, when developed, provide all th«t ; a golfer needs. The club is holding us first annual ball at tlioßieeartoii racecourse (kindly lent by the Jockey Club) on July 21st The final of the Taylor Rose Bowl will bo played at the weekend, the finalists being Dr. and Mrs Lewie and Mr and Mrs W. Milner, and

the bowl will be presented to the winners at t-he. close <>l the match by the donor, Mr L. J. Taylor. ► Recently a player in New .Sou tli W'alrs holed lii-> toe shot at. the 13tl hole -80 yards. At Port Elizabeth, Souti Africa', a player assisted by a strong Vi'tuil. inlccl out in cno at the Bth hole. yards, but the record is held by Gcorue Kirby, who holed in one at th•_ ktoneliam course, Southanipton, at the ' IHh hole, D4O yards. l.i)-L vi'iir teachers wl"<) play gull iii- . MiyiM-ated a teachers' competition. Mr A. I;. Blank presented a cup for a bogey, competition, and this cup, know.u as tiie "Pedagogic Bowl," is to he played for annually. I'll rough th; courtesy of the- llarewood Club, these links aie again available, and this year s competition is set down lor Angus: 22nd or August 23rd. The bogey mutch will he played in the morning, startin;; at 9 o'clock, and a I'our-ball foursome will he played in tlie ;ii Lrruonti. Last \i-av -H entry is expected this year. I'Voju '' Pictorial (toll,'' by 11. I>. Martin:—"Golf, after all, is a common leveller. George Ade put it just right when he wrote these lines: 'When a man steps to tlie first tec. ho sheds his social importances, his financial rating, and aIJ prestige that he may have acquired in minor activities. He may be a power in the world of thought, but a joke to his caddie. He is what his score card shows him to be, no inu'ltcr how many be has on his sweater, or how large may be the chequered squares on his important hose.' A fortnight agA-'' Flagstick' • wrote up a, few notes on "'Slicing —what causes it, and how to cure it. These notes were compiled from what wellknown exports have written about, what 'is perhaps the worst fault a golfer can ••icquirc. The day after these notes appeared, ''Flagstick'' had finished a round, and soon afterwards a friend asked him how he had got on. "Flagstick" answered: "Not too good. 1 sliced nearly every tee shot." His iriond immediately took out his pocketbook, and abstracting a clipping from !i -paper said: "Take this. I read it last night half a dozen times. Tt is just, what you want.'' T. said: "From what paper is it?" . His answer was: '• ' May-stick.' in yesterday's Pa.'ws. I had to tell him that I. was responsible for what he had studied. and smiling broadly lie looked at me, aiid said: "Physician, heal thyself! ' CHRISTCHURCU CLL'B.
