GOLF EXTRAORDINARY
HOLE HALVED IX ONE INCIDENT AT SHIRLEY (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 31. A golfing incident believed to be unique occurred at Shirley this afternoon, when in a fourball match a hole was halved in one. W. T. D. Harman had the honour with a well-hit shot which found the cup. His partner, K. J. Walker, then played. After a remark by one of the four that he had that shot for a half, M. H. Godby played and his tee shot also went in the hole. Both balls pitched in about the same place slightly to the left of the line to the pin, and rolled round a slope into the hole. Although holes have been halved in one several times in singles in different parts of the world, and at least once in a foursome in America, there is no record of the incident occurring in a fourball.
