Self-Bunkered
Vapour trails and poplar trees have no connexion bnt for Miss H. K. Buchanan, of Little River, they have figured in two memorable incidents at Shirley while playing in the Canterbury womens’ golf championship. Last year. Miss Buchanan climbed a poplar tree to play her ball which had stopped in thick rough close to the trunk. She dislodged three balls before finding her own, and took nine for the hole.
Yesterday, Miss Buchanan, an avowed jet
aircraft enthusiast, was so lost in the pleasure of watching the vapour trails made by a plane performing over Shirley that she tumbled into the bunker at the fourteenth green.
She lost the hole, but not her sense of humour and golfing courage, for although two down with three to play. Miss Buchanan, the 1961 titleholder, took Mrs J. A. Lees to the nineteenth. Bnt, as she confessed afterwards, the bunker, the vapour trails and a newly-developed shank "did her in.”
