NOTES AND NEWS. A tour has been arranged by the New Zealand Golf Coumui tor John Lambic, professional (who is at picsent coaching at Waiwetu), embracing Taihnpo, Marlon, Aaimarino, and Mart inborough Clubs m that employing him aintmnous'y un i June 17, after which date a .n-llui tour will be arranged. . A 12-months poll competition has hist been concluded on the W entworth Falls links, Sydney. Iwo pairs agreed to play each other every month alternately on the Manly and Concord links for a year. When they ended all square, in order to obtain finality, they agreed to jffa.v luo fina rrames on neutral links. The final Trames were close and interesting, and it was not until the last, nine holes that the winners forged ahead. I lip competition cup was named / 1 lie H iccough.” and was made of tin. the presentation was made at the Montworth Falls golf-house, and the speeches were reminiscent o* the incidents of 12 months of phiy. Ignorance of the rules is as reuiiiikable as it is sometimes awkward in nrnctiee. Two 'Wellington playeis, Whyte and Petle.v, provide a case in point. On eompleting a hole in their round in the provincial championship at Easter, Pctloy discovered tliai they had plaved each other’s balls, and holed out. Petley claimed tlie hole, and Whyte, not knowing that where the hole has been played out with the balls transposed unknowingly there is no penalty, because both, are equally at, fault, agreed. It was after the stipulated lime for advising (be officials that the right meaning of tlm rule was found out, and so no adjustment was possible. Jn a 72-holes match for a stake oT £2OOO Walter Hagen defeated Gene Sara non at St. Petersburg (Florida) by T nine up and seven to play.
