DOMINION GOLF TOURNAMENT

CONTEST COMMENCES FOR AMATEUR TITLE NUMBER OF SURPRISE DEFEATS PLAY FOR PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP (By Telegraph.—Special Reporter.) Wanganui, October 1. To-day was a day of surprises, and it will always be so so long as the early rounds of the amateur championship are over 18 holes instead of over the 36 holes as hitherto. The qualifying rounds of the open brought together a collection of 32 players of varying standards, and it was the unknown quantities that effected the surprises Weather conditions were absolutely ideal, so that players had only themselves to blame for any mistakes they made. That L. Cathro would have beaten A. D. S. Duncan was scarcely anticipated, although his defeat of J. Goss in the first round showed him to be a good golfer. It was with breathless expectancy that the crowds, saw Cathro’s ball wobble on the lip of the hole and so give him the match after Duncan had holed a long putt in a brave attempt to stave off defeat. Fine golfer though A. E. Ekstedt, of Palmerston North, is, no one thought for a moment that T. H. Horton, playing on form, would be beaten by him. But missed short putts can be costly and Horton has only himself to blame.

It wii never for a moment suspected that N. Louisson would oust an improving Kapi Tareha, but Kapi was to learn yet once more that excursions into the rough are not the way to win matches. In the first round A. D. .8. Duncan just nosed out against Leo Quin, who found a sliced drive to the eighteenth hole a most expensive one. . That Sloan Morpeth beat W. B. Reilly he owes to temperament, experience, and good fortune—not to better play, as for 16 holes Reilly played the better and more accurate golf. T. H. Horton played sound golf against C. A. Seymour without being brilliant. His drives were straight, his iron shots were little inferior if at all to his high average, and he was putting very well. Seymour was driving well, but played not too well with his irons, being inclined to pull them, while he missed several short putts. Seymour came more on to his iron shots in the last few holes, but his putting showed no improvement. At the turn Horton was 2 up and only 1 up at the eleventh, his completed round being a 75, which equals the standard scratch score of the course. Horton struck trouble in the rough at the longest hole on the course, “Long Tom,” taking 6. Seymour did very well to hold to Horton in the way he did. Manawatu Players Meet.

It was unfortunate that the two Manawatu players, A. E. Ekstedt and I. Seifert, junr., should meet in the first round. There is little difference between the two in standard, and their play to-day was in keeping. At the turn the pair were all square, although Seifert was 2 up at the fourth. Ekstedt got a two at the fifth and also won the seventh, the eighth and ninth being halved to make the game all square. Halves see-sawed to the seventeenth, when Ekstedt became one up at the eighteenth. Disaster overtook Ekstedt at the sixteenth, where he drove under. the hill in a bad lie, Seifert taking the hole in 5 to become all square again. The 17th was halved in s's against the standard 4, and the 18th was won by Ekstedt, who won the match one up. Seifert holed a chip shot at the 10th. Both players were driving well to keep very straight. The putting of both was also good, and, if anything, Ekstedt just had the little bit that mattered in the work around the greens. There could not be said to be very much between them. Seifert gives the impression that he will develop into a great player with more experience. He has a fine temperament for the game, and, in meeting Ekstedt, he met a very experienced and much older player. Ekstedt went round in 74 and Seifert in 76. Sound Play by H. A. Black. H. A. Blacto-day played his best golf of the tournament, being 4 up at the turn. From tee to green he was never in trouble, nor did he spoil that game by bad putting. He missed nothing that was at all holeable. Harold, on the other hand, was very poor around the greens and in his putting. At the sixth he fluffed his tee shot badly. The most notable incident was a half at a standard 3 hole in two’s, and at the first hole Black sliced badly out of bounds. Poor work near the greens is always costly, and Harold found it so. The less said about the J. Quin and J. L. Black match the better for Quin. In the light of to-day’s play his two 74's in the third and fourth rounds of the open were flashes in the pan, and about six or seven strokes or more better than his usual standard of play. Also he met J. L. Black out for business. How good that business was may be seen from his figures so far as they went. They were : Out; 454433445—36. In: 342. His figures were three under s's. There was not a falter in Black’s game from tee to hole, and on the greens he was deadly. Defeat of H. P. Dale. The defeat of H. P. Dale by A. E. Conway was scarcely expected in view of the fact that Conway had not had much practice of late. Conway, however, quickly adapts himself to a course, and settled well into his stride, being one under fours nt the 16th. At the 11th Conway was one down. He won the next five holes in 34534 against the standard 35535. Up to that stage the pair were playing even golf and avoiding trouble by keeping well on the fairways. After that Dale was compelled to make excursions into the rough. Putting, usually Conway’s strong point, has through the tournament been poor; to-day it was good. If even Conway did find any trouble he recovered excellently, and Dale, when in trouble, found difficulty in breaking clear. R. Ward and C. W. Armstrong are two young players, the former hailing from Christchurch and the latter from \\ anganui. Ward. who is only 19. promises to be a first-class golfer if he is not that already. Unspoiled by success be plays steadily along through the fairways to the greens, and takes all due care when on them. He was never in trouble and never made mistakes that he did not easily recover from. Armstrong, on the other band, was inclined to go for distance. Only once was Ward off the straight. That was at the fourth. He then took his spoon and lay the ball stone dead. He was six up at the turn, his first nine holes being done in 54543444 3—36. Kann Wagg’s Lost Chances. Like many others, A. G. Sime played his best brand of golf to-day, playing without difficulty from first to last. Rana Wagg, on the other hand, lost many chances by missing easy putts. Sime had only one bad hole and then he only took 6 against the standard 5. By winning the fifth in 2 and the next, in 4 Sime became 3 up at the sixth, playing beautifully to the green with shots which hit with fine strength ran well up to the pin. There was little to choose between them in the matter of their driving and they kept straight. Sime went out in 39 to Wagg’s 42, and was one under 4’s when the match finished. Bad putting has been Wagg’s main trouble throughout the tournament. Youth and experience met when B. M. Bilk and A. R. Blank played their match, the experience of the latter player gaining him the advantage in the finish. Silk played a stylish game, but nervousness was responsible for faulty work on the greens, of which Blank was not slow to avail himself. The finest match of the morning was that between Sloan Morpeth and W. B. Reilly. Few gave Reilly much of a chants, W ha pynwed Morpeth to tt»

limit by a faultless brand of golf. Morpeth was very erratic from the tees and was three times out of bounds, at the first, ninth and fourteenth. He was pulling badly, although at the first he sliced. As usual, however, he extricated himself wonderfully. Not until the last three or four holes did Reilly crack, and it was not to be wondered he should find the strain too great. Morpeth, on the other hand, when the whips were out, rose to the occasion like the great player he is, and his long irons became straight on the pin. First Real Drlva. Morpeth’s first real drive, one of very few, was obtained at the fourth tee. At the previous three he had sliced out of bounds, pulled at the second, and pulled over’ to an adjoining fairway at the third. They were all square at the third. Reilly was one up at the sixth, and they were all square at the turn. Reilly was 2 up at the eleventh. Morpeth dragged a hole back at the twelfth with a 35ft. putt. At the thirteenth, Morpeth, with a following wind, laid his second a yard from the pin—a 417yds. hole. He missed the putt, and Reilly, playing faultlessly from off the green turned almost certain loss into a half in 4’s. Morpeth pulled yards out of bounds at the fourteenth, where the fairway is straight and wide. Reilly was 2 up. To the short fifteenth Morpeth played a perfect approach from the edge of the green, and won the hole in three, Reilly playing much too strong on the green. He was beginning to crack. It became more apparent at "Bunker’s Hill,” the sixteenth hole, the grave of many a good golfer’s aggregate. Morpeth got a screamer, while Reilly duffed bis into the bottom of the hill seventy yards from the tee. He played wonderfully out, but his third was in the bunker. He came out like a shot out of a gun and ran across the green into the long grass. He did not hole out. The game was then all square. From then on Morpeth made no mistakes, but kept straight, winning the next hole and halving the last. Reilly had made a gallant fight. He had played class golf to the fourteenth. His was really better golf to there than Morpeth’s in almost every respect. He should be heard much of in the future, for he has a fine style. To hold the lead to the seventeenth hole was a great achievement. Good Putting—Bad Driving. The history of D. W. Whyte and T. Grey’s match may be summed up in Whyte’s good putting and Grey’s bad driving. Grey was one down at the turn and having got all square lost the sixteenth, to be again one down at the 17th. The trouble with Grey’s drive was a most pronounced slice. As the game developed Whyte’s driving went off and Grey did not have the luck to profit by it by any improvement in his putting. D. C. Collins played fine golf to go out in 37, to be 6 up at the turn. While Park was driving well from the tees he was cutting his irons, giving himself little chance against Collins's all-round consistency. Park was driving a beautiful ball from the tee, about 35 yards longer than Collins, who made no attempt to follow him, but played safely along the fairways. E. Al. Macfarlane came on to his game this morning and gave J. 11. Mangan no chance. His play round the greens and on them was particularly good. His work from 40 yards gave him a minimum of work on the greens. Mangan was inclined to be erratic in his long shots and very wobbly on putting. A. big surprise was effected when W. Louisson beat Kapi Tareha. Louisson steered clear of trouble, but after the seventh hole, where he was two up, Kapi s drives took him all over the country. He had always to be digging himself out of trouble. They were all square at the turn, but the measure of his downfall may be seen in the second nine holes played. 460464545—43, against the standard 37. When Kapi found himself always having to dig out of trouble and apparently unable to remedy his defect he lost touch with all hi? clubs except the putter, and then it was too late. Louisson never Jet up and iflayed sound golf all the way through. Level Pegging Game.

The game between F. Huggins and B. J Smith, jun., was one ot level pegging until when 2 tip Huggins was stymied on the seventeenth and eighteenth greens, iosing both, and Smith going on to win on the twentieth green. J. Goss and L. Cathro played a hard fighting game. Goss went out in 37 and was 2 up. Cathro won the next four holes in 3434, making him 2 up. Goss won the next three in 434, making him 1 up. Going to the seventeenth Cathro pushed his second out, but chipped to get a 3, making the game all square. Cathro did the eighteenth in 4, Goss just lipping a long putt to miss a half, losing the bole and the match. . A D. S. Duncan and Leo Qum fought a bard fight in which the veteran had to do a great deal of trailing. But ever a lighter, Duncau held grimly to his task to win the match on the last green. The quality of the golf may be judged from the fact that Duncan took 39 out and 35 in, and Quin 39 out and 36 in. Quin was outdriving Duncan, and Duncan was having slight trouble with his iron shots in the early stages. Both were putting well. They were all square at the turn, while at the sixteenth Quin was 1 up. The seventeenth hole was halved, but at the eighteenth Quin sliced his drive, and to that fact may be attributed the loss of his chance to secure at least a half. Taking it all in all, sound golf was played by both, and it would never have done for either to let up. Dunean was driving well and playing bis chips in masterly fashion. Duncan was unlucky. however, to miss short putts on two greens. Duncan’s card read : — Out: 445435644—-39 In: 252564444—35 Quin's card was: — Out: 444435555—39 In : 352453545 —36 THE SECOND ROUND D. O. Whyte held to 8. Morpeth very well in the afternoon when the second round was played. It was level pegging over the first eight holes, without any outstanding incidents of play being witnessed. Bad putting lost Whyte the ninth hole, and then Morpeth jumped into his stride to take the next three holes in 242, making him 4 up. From theno® on Whyt® bad b® J»al

Wrong Club V»ea.

Morpeth was hitting much more accurately from the tees in the afternoon and his putting was fair. A. G. Sime, full of confidence, never looked like losing in his game against A. R. Blank. Sime went out in 37 to Blank’s 40, and did the next holes in 354443. Against A. E. Conway K. Ward never looked like losing. His play has called forth high commendation for its easy grace and naturalness. He does nothing rashly, so that he makes no mistakes. He went out in 36 to Conway’s 42, making him 4 up. Coming into the fifteenth, where the game ended, he did standard figures. It was a triumph for consistency. The surprise of the afternoon was the defeat of T. 11. Horton by the Palmerston North player, A. E. Ekstedt, 3 up and 1. Ekstedt deserved his win, as he played powerful golf almost throughout. Even then Horton’s defeat may be explained in terms of missed short putts and a duffer brassie when he ought to have taken an iron at the sixteenth, where so many golfers before him had crashed. The first hole was halved in fours; Ekstedt lost the second and won the third, when Horton missed a short putt. Ekstedt met trouble in the rough by pulling his drive and took 6 to Horton s 4. Horton was then 1 up. The next three holes were halved in 345. A missed 2ft. putt cost Horton the eighth hole, and as the ninth was halved in 4’s they turned for home all square. At the tenth Horton’s club slipped in his hand and his ball found the rough, the hole taking him 4to Ekstedt’s 3. Ekstedt then took his turn at digging out of trouble, the hole costing him 6 to Horton’s 4. Sinking a long putt at the short twelfth gave Ekstedt the hole in 2 to 3. A missed 3ft. putt cost Horton the next hole. The compliment was returned when Ekstedt missed a 2ft. putt at the fourteenth. But luck was not with Horton, for at the short fifteenth he took three putts to halve in 4, when he ought to have won in' 3. As though he bad not already given Ekstedt enough start, he had perforce to go and take his brassie for a second to a bad lie to the sixteenth, and duff it, so that Ekstedt won the hole in sto 6. Ekstedt was now dormie 2. On the seventeenth green Horton failed to negotiate a stymie and lost the hole 5 to 4 and with it the match, 3 and 1.

Not for a moment did Ekstedt ease up. He held to himself strongly and forced the strain on Horton all the time. It was generally considered that Horton ought to have taken his iron rather than brassie at the sixteenth, when lie was In trouble. Both A. D. S. Duncan and L. Cathro played a hard match for the second round, the issue not being decided until after Duncan had holed a long putt on the eighteenth green, and Cathro’s short putt had wandered round the hole before ultimately deciding to fall in and give him the half for the match. Both did rounds of Jo. Duncan was one up at the turn, after being three, up at the seventh, Cathro taking the seventh and eighth. Cathro squared the match at the twelfth by taking the short hole In 2 to 3. Thereafter the holes see-sawed, both playing golf well up to the standard. As usual, Duncan s chip shots were excellent, but he was unlucky once or twice In his putting. The game that Cathro played in the morning showed that he was in form. He was particularly accurate from the tees, and his putting was first-class. Duncan was not always accurate from the tees, but generally his second shots were accurate. Another match of level pegging was that between D. C. Collins and E. M. Macfarlane, and the balance was swayed against Collins by his Inferior putting, Macfarlane taking two putts on the green where Colling would take three. Both were driving soundlv from the tees, but generally their Irons were a little below form, the ball getting to the edge of the green rather than well on it. At' the turn Collins was two down, and as Macfarlane took the next in two, Macfarlane became three up. Collins won the next two, to be one down, and thereafter the game was close-hauled, Macfarlane’s putting giving him the match. Black Brothers Meet. H A. and J. L. Black met in the second round. J. L. winning 2 and 1. H. A. was 2 up at the third, and ought to have been 3 up at the fifth, which J. L. rather fluklly halved. As the round progressed J. U.S became phenomenally good, and gave nim the advantage. At the ninth Jr L. waj up, but H. A. later squared the game, but could not keep up against J. j/i long putts. For some time J. L. was playing the trailing game, but his greater experience told against his brother in tho end. .T. L. Is just a shade better than his brother at present. PLAY BY PROFESSIONALS Some of the most perfect golf of the day was played by the professionals, A. J. Shaw, E. J. Moss, F. Rutter and L. S. Douglas doing morning rounds of 70. Starting against Shaw, T. S. Galloway did the first hole In 3, missing a 2 by inches, against the standard 5. Thereafter Shaw hit screamers down the fairways and played his seconds dead. If ho did not get close then he promptly sank the putt. Galloway played gallantly along, but all to no purpose. It was Impossible to defeat perfection. Only once did Shaw strike a bad patch, and that was when he lost his ball at the blind thirteenth In the morning. At the seventh and fifteenth holes Sliaw laid Galloway dead stymies, the latter one Galloway getting over with fine chips for a half in 3. In the afternoon round Galloway could make uo impression on Shaw, it even Shaw’s play showed a , slight falling off. C. C. Clements was playing too strong a brand of golf for J. D. Mclntosh to hold. A round of 72 In the morning, to be followed by nnothe;- of 71 in the afternoon against the standard scratch score of 75, leaves little chance for an opponent to get an opening. And so Mclntosh found. Both J H. and C. C. Clements are finished golfers possessed of an Ideal temperament, and th?y play quietly along without many mistakes. In the morning Clements was 4 up at the ninth hole, and finished the round 1 up. In the afternoon Clements lost the first 3 holes, even though playing well. He won the next two to be all square at the twenty-fourth. Clements became again 2 up at the twenty-eighth, and all holes to the thirty-fifth were halved, giving Clements a well-merited victory. Mclntosh was hitting tlie longer ball, but he was not putting too consistently. J. 11. Douglas bad a runaway victory over J. D, Clements, and when the match finished on the thirtieth green he was even fours after having done a 70 in the morning. J. 11. Clements was playing what one might term a good recovery game. He was driving very badly almost throughout in striking contrast to Douglas, who was Straight all the time. One of the hardest fought matches was that between E. J. Moss and F. J. Rutter. Doing the first round in 70, Moss finished 3 up, a lead he kept in the second round to win 3 and 2. From tees to greens both played some of the most perfect golf seen in the tournament. Rutter was playing as equally fine golf as Moss except that Moss had a little better luck in the putting.

PLAY FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

RESULTS OF FOURTH ROUND

Christcliurch, October 1. The New Zealand ladies’ golf championship was continued at Shirley today. Results of the fourth round are as follow: — Mrs. Dodgshun (Otago) abeat Miss Barnett (Miramar), 3 and 1. Miss 0. Stevens (Otago) beat Mrs. Fraser (Sunningdale, England), 1 up. Miss O. Kay (Otago) beat Miss Bead*! (Christchurch), 7 and 6. Miss Chrystall (Christchurch) beat Mrs. Collinson (Manawatu), 1 up. Miss Kay was expected to beat Miss Beadel, but such an overwhelming victory as 7 and 6 was not expected. Miss Beadel could not settle to steady golf, her seconds being very often erratic and her drives, although usually straight and long, were at fault badly. Miss Kay, after an indifferent first four holes, settled down to bogey figures and would have beaten any other lady player in the Dominion on her game to-day. Miss Chrystall. last year's New Zealand champion, beat Mrs. Collinson, a former champion, by a putt on the home green. Mrs. Collinson was the steadier player throughout the round. Miss Chrystall’s play being patchy over the first few holes. The Christchurch player was indifferent, but she improved and they turned all square. Mrs. Collinson crashed at “Old Nick,” a mashie toss over a gully to a hilltop green, and at the fourteenth, but she steadied for the remainder of the match. Miss Chrystall crashed and picked up at the fifteenth, after being bunkered and misjudging two putts badly. Miss Chrystall found the creek with her tee shot .at the sixteenth, was into the bunker with her second, failed to clear properly and duffed her next. Mrs. Collinson holed out a well-played five, and won at the seventeenth. Mrs. Collinson duffed her drive, but Miss Chrystall lost her advantage by placing her second Into a bunker. She played a good third to the green, however. and Mrs. Collinson also made the green with a good iron shot. The result was a half in fives, the game being all square and one to play. Playing to the last hole, Mrs. Collinson was well beyond the hole with her second, and Airs. Chrystall was up, but to the left. Mrs. Collinson was within a foot of the hole with her approach putt, but. Miss Chrystall laid her three-quarter stymie, and this gave her the hole and the match.

Mrs. Dodgshun won from Miss Barnett, 3 and 1. The first hole was halved In 6. both sending down good drives, but getting into the bunker with their seconds. Mrs. Dodgshun got into the rough at the second, but ha'l a good second and took 2 putts to the iu.c. Mr?. Dodgshun was one up at the turn. Miss Barnett missed an easy putt to lose the next hole. Miss Barnett was well on in 2 at the next and won the hole, Mrs. Dodgshun being short In t 3. Miss Barnett caught a bunker in the twelfth and the thirteenth was halved. Miss Barnett hit the bank ot the creek at the seventeenth and took 3 to reach the green. She missed a putt and gave the hole and the match to Mrs. Dodgshun. The game between Miss Stevens and Mrs. Fraser attracted a gallery which had grown to 200 at the end of the round. Steady golf gave Miss Stevens the first hole. The fifth and sixth were halved, Mrs Fraser Increasing her lead to 2 up at the seventh. Miss Stevens reduced tlie lead at the next hole, only to lose at tlie ninth, Mrs. Fraser holing a flve-fo<it. putt after a perfect tee shot. After the turn’ Miss Stevens played line golf. With all square and one to go. Mrs. Fraser lost )>er second in n bunker. Miss Stevens taking the hole at 4 to 5 and the match. In the semi-final to-morrow, Mrs. Dodgshun plays Miss O. Stevens, and Miss Kay plays Miss Chrystall. Miss Stevens has played remarkable golf in this tournament, and her reaching the semi-final has surprised everybody, even herself. Mrs. Dodgshun should win, however. Miss Chrystall played her best round ot the tournament this afternoon, a 78. with two short putts missed. If she can

reproduce this form to-morrow Miss Kay will have to do her best to beat her. The Donnelly Cup bogey match this afternoon was won by Miss K. Harkness (Nelson), 81—11—70. Other scores were: Mrs. R. L. Wilson. 79—8—71; Miss Cbrystall, 76—1—75; Miss Acheson, 81—5;-7«; Mrs. Kerr, 85—0—96; Mrs. Guy Williams. 83—6—77.
