GOLF Silk, Ewen Win N.Z. Open Foursomes With Record 137

(From Our Own Reporter)

WELLINGTON, Nov. 3. Playing colourful and exciting golf, B. M. Silk (Wanganui) and I. A. Ewen (Hutt) won the New Zealand open foursomes championship at Heretaunga today, with a score two strokes better than any recorded by either amateurs or professionals at a national tournament. Against a standard scratch score of 72, they had, with the assistance of some magnificent, bold putting, rounds of 67 and 70. The professional and open record was 139, established by A. E. Guy and J. Weir at Miramar in 1939. The best previous amateur score was 144, by A. Gibbs and A. R. Timms, at Balmacewen last year. Silk and Ewen made few real errors, dhd nearly every time they seemed likely to drop a stroke, one would succeed with a putt of wildly improbable length. Their win, by five strokes, from the professionals. E. A. Southerden (Napier) and E. Fennell (Poverty Bay), was so clear-cut that thev removed the competitive interest from the event by mid-afternoon. 13 Pairs Better Scratch Score

They were not alone in their good scoring—the scratch score was beaten 13 times during, the day, extraordinary results for foursomes play—but after their startling success of the morning, they gave no other pair a chance, because in their second round they made no error of consequence. A good deal of the credit for the winners’ 67 in the morning must go to Silk, whose putting was superb. Ewen hit some lovely drives, afid two or three of the long putts were his.

The short holes cost Southerden and Fennell their prospects c/ winning, for it was on them 'that Southerden had his only weakness. The rest of his game was excellent. Southerden and FenneV, who represented New Zealand overseas in the Canada Cup competition, were six strokes behind in the morning with 73, but made a wonderful effort to win in the afternoon. Their 69, the second best round of the day. gave them the professional title. Tie for Third Place Three pairs tied for third plape, and it may be decided that they shall play off oh Sunday. Among them were M. W. Stanley (Russley) and T. M. Stout (Miramar), who scored 73 and 71. In the morning they were admirably steady, but they started the afternoon by dropping two strokes in three holes. From that point they combined well, putted well, and scored well. N. H. Fuller (Christchurch) and J. H. Rogers (St. Clair) were runners-up in the professional section, and their play always looked likely to produce good results. Rogers is a crisp and clean iron player, and Fuller, if seldom spectacular, was in excellent form. Failure with a putt of 18in cost them second equal placing. Several other pairs contributed to a day’s good golf, but a welj-known team, R. H. Glading and D. L. Woon, were not among them. They began with Woon more or less carrying Glading from tee to green, and although they improved vastly for a time—from five over after five holes, they managed a 73 —they were always struggling. Again in the afternoon, they nad to wait until the sixth hole before they had a bogey figure, and then there was an eagle three at the eighth. N. M. Fowke (Christchurch) and R. D. Wilson (Gore) had two good rounds, with Fowke playing his shots to the green as well as most. Second Best Morning Round

The second best morning round was the 71 by the Christchurch pair, I. B. Cromb and H. J. Gosset. Almost until the end Gosset played efficiently, and Cromb holed long putts. Yet it was their putting at the last two holes that cost them a 69, six putts being taker) on these two greens. They started in the afternoon precisely where they had left off, by twice three-putting, and they never recovered. The Russley professional, I. Arundel, and his partner, T. Burrell (Miramar), were close to the leaders with their morning 73. At the thirteenth, after steady and precise play by both, they were three under. 4’s, with two short holes ahead of them, but they took 4’s at each of these, with three putts on the seventeenth, a most disappointing relapse. A score of 70 in the afternoon by I. E. Deadman (Springfield) and A.

C. Relph (Springfield) was notable for its lack of eccentricities. The first round of the open championship, and the first qualifying round for the amateur ana professional championships will be played tomorrow. The Press Association reports the following results:— OPEN FOURSOMES

Through this reluctance young people might turn to other avenues and be lost to the land. Mr Davey quoted figures to show that farmers had responded to the encouragement given by the National Government to increase production.
