HOLES IN ONE

Sydney Scotsmen will be relieved to hear that the local golf clubs are abolishing the penalty of an all-round shout for holing in ouei the fine i. to be confined to a bottle of whisky (states a Sydney writer). One English club rewards the hero by making him the club's guest, including free drinks for one day. At Concord (N.S.W.), a special “hole-in-one” bottle is kept, and every time it is required it is emptied and filled again for next time. A'silver band, with the name of the player, is put round the bottle ou each occasion.

New South Wales women’s golf controllers have advised their constituents to "avoid freak competitions.” There are soured males who regard all golf in which women take part as “freak competitions.” but the reference here is to eclecti flag and s' liar affairs introduced from America. The ban follows that c* the English L.G.U. against any handicapping on other than straightout stroke and bogey rounds.
