Perfect weather conditions weie experienced for the Seddon Cup match between a team from tne local club and.one from Hokitika at the Kaiata links on the King’s Birthday. Hokitikti letflined the cup by one match. Good JMatch; The clash between G. Adamson and P. W,a,rues, the number one men of their • respective teams, was followed with interest and 1 as was expected was evenly contested, witn little between the two." Adamson’s match experience . prevailed when h e holed a bi-idie 4 at the 18th to win 1 up. ******* A|U iSqtUarp: i Dr. Fitzgerald was dormy two in his match with 11. Steel who fought back gamely to square the match at the JSth. Steel was hitting a tremom dons ball off the tee which Fitzgerald coumte.ed to some effect with steady play through the green. * * X- * X- * * Good Jiron Play: Although not. on customary terms with his driver, G. "Tomlinson easily accounted for R. AlcSoriley 3 and 2. Tomlinson was obtaining distance wdh with a hooked drive which, however, landed him in trouble more often than not, but his iron play, . which was pretty to watch, saved a number of doubtful situations. -»• m # Even/ iCTanie: The match between T. Pain and A. Hill was an evenly fought on e with Hill, who made some good leeoveries after .some wide tee shots,, getting ahead at th c 18th to win 1 uY>. ■ ******* Well Ahead: , W. Meldrnm played steady golf l-j easily defeat P. Curran 6 and 5. Cur. ian lost touch through the green. Match (Temperament; T. F. Brosnan, invariably a hard 1 opponent in match piny, turned on some steady golf to account for R. Millen in Wednesday’s match. His 43 each way was the result of heady play and included some excellent figures. It is pleasing to note his return to form for when on his game he is a decided acquisition ’in match play. * * * * * * Long HMtterf B. AV. Caulton has rega'ined 1 his confidence off the tee, and mainly for that reason, accounted for his opponent J. Russell, last Wednesday. Caulton was getting an amazing distance with his tee shots and now that he has regain, ed his form in this respect he should easily revert to his; fo-imer position among the club’s “big four.”

Consistent Play: Dr. Ray is playing consistent golf

this- season and notched a win for h'is side against R. Adamson in Wednesday's match. Although playingi from a greatly reduced handicap it is quite ou th e caids that he will repeat his cup successes of last' year. *******

InteJWiltg Knock-out-: The Orkney Cup series this year promises to be very interesting but it is rather early as yet to select the ultimate winner, as sevelrhl players fiom handy marks are showing excellent fom. The chances of the low markers Warnes and Fitzgerald can. not be disregarded although each will find it difficult to concede strokes to several of the improving top markers. J. E. A. McKeefrey on the 18 /mark apfpeap's more handily, placecp than mo.-'t, but the chances of T. Fi Brosnan (14), B. Caulton (10), 11. S- Ray (10), H. Hooper (16). A. Baird (18), M. Me. Keehnie (16), A. 11. Hutchinson (21), must not be overlooked.
