GOLF

NOTES AND COMMENTS. Interest continues keen in the ploy for the summer season and members are enjoying very much the steadily in proving conditions, though the -milt weather and the copious rain are already showing a strong growth m_the pastures, which promises to be a dim culty unless well eaten down.

The outside section of the course ori the cliffs is, on the other hand, excellent and will be improved by favourable weather. The Summer Cup competition promises to be a fine stimulus to play during the off season. The New South Wales Goli Council will select a team to go to New Zealand for the, Kirk-Windeyer Cup from the following: Manly: E. L. Apperly, A. M. Thorn, W. C. Sturrock, O. H. Wines. Rose Bay: C. H. Fawcett, F. G. Murdoch, G. T. Balcombe, A. E. Andrews, C. W. Bundle. _ „ _ T Australian Golf Club: P. S. Jones, JR. D. Scott, R. K. Lee Brown, W. Atkins, C. Nigel Smith, It. L. Sayers, 11. Morrison, H. W. McClelland, B. * Armstrong, O. 11. O’Brien, 11. W. HattCKnkira.—l. K. Harrison, R. J. Withycombe, G. R. Davidson, C. G. Maschvvitz. „ __ Concordi W. E. Dobson, C. Glancey, H. N. King. Bonnie Doon: G. Thompson, A. JN. Brown, G. E. Dennett, E. Wilson, E. J. It. Beadell.

Cammeray: J. Mac Queen. Moore Park: L. W. Hore, M. Stain. Long Reef: W. R. Smith. Parramatta: L. E. Carter. Country players: D. Coonan (Goulburn), 6. Meares (Dubbo), H. M. Creer (Newcastle), J. B. Brown (Newcastle). On the Hokowhitu Links (Palmerston North) recently a visiting player was struck on the “Adam’s apple” by a pulled ball that first- struck the ground in front of him and he was knocked unconscious for several minutes. He recovered, however, and was able to complete the round. The Napier Golf Club had a wonderful success with their annual ball and cleared £ll2 towards the funds of the club. A English illustrated magazine of some years ago has a picture showing “Colonel Bogey’s remains, discovered in a bunker on a Chinese golf course.” Ln explanation, the writer records that an Englishman playing golf at Pauling, iu China, drove a ball, and on following it up discovered that it had hit an earthenware ,iar on the course. The jar was broken by the impact and revealed a gruesome sight—the remains of some Chinaman of a previous era, who had been “potted” on death, according to the burial customs of ancient China, and left upon the hillside. We should not be surprised if a real bogey were hereafter to haunt this particular golf course!”
