CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF

DOMINION TOURNEY. SOME STEADY PLAY PALMERSTON N„ Oct. 25. There was an absence of wind when play was resumed to-day in the New ealand golf championships at Hokowhitu, but the heavy rain which fell early in the morning made the course unusually slow, and, to add further to the difficulties, numerous casual water hazards were .scattered around the fields. There were three or four inches of water in some of the bunkers, and though golfers were allowed to pick up their ball and place it out of the water, under the 'penalty of one stroke, there were several who preferred to take the chance and play out from the water. However, they learnt their lesson, and found it was less costly to concede the penalty stroke.

A. E. Ekstedt, the Manawatu Club champion, did well to go over the third round in only one over fours, his 73 (36 out, 37 in) being the best card of the morning, and one stroke better than A. J. Shaw’s 74. There were no deficiencies in Ekstedt’s play in this round, the only mistake he made was to hook his masliie shot at the eleventh hole, but this was due to the greasy surface, which made his foothold insecure. At this hole he made a good recovery, only to have bad luck with a 4ft putt. He failed to sink another short putt at the fifteenth, where he took a 5 at a par 4 hole.

A. J. (Shaw was not quite so good in the third round as he was yesterday, and though he sent his drives long distances he could get very little ou the ball and had to play his seconds strongly to the longer holes. There was a tendency to slice in his drives, and at one hole, the seventh, he drove out of bounds.

J. D. Mclntosh, the Wellington professional, also did a 74. Going out in par (35) he took three! putts on, the twelfth, thirteenth and fifteenth greens, ending up with 39 for the return. He also drove wel'i, his short game being faultless, except for the three missed I putts on three greens on the return. D. C. Collins was equal second to 5. V. Wright at the tennintion of the third round. Collins did a. 76 in the morning, and only through having to ’flay two strokes out of divot holes lie lost an opportunity to do two over 4’s "•or the' 18 holes. At the sixth and eighteenth holes Collin’s seconds struck the pins. B. V. Wright carded a ‘‘birdie” 3 at :Lv> first hole in this round, ending up with 36 for the first half. A 6 at the fifteenth and a 5 at tihe seventeenth, one over par in eaefi case, resulted in his taking 39 t-o, come home.

STEADY PLAYERS. J. P. Hornabrook and! B. 31, Silk were another pair of steady golfers, the latter had one over 4’s going out, but lie did not putt as well as fie usuallv does after the turn, and he took 40. Hornabrook had two 6’s at the longest holes on his outward trip, for which he required 39, but he played more evenly on the return, ending with one over fours and a. card! of 7#. , A. G. Si 1 ne’s trouble is lack of practice, and if he could get more golf with men of his own ca'libre, he would undoubtedly do himself justice in open championships. As it is‘he has to play himself into form in the first two rounds of the meeting, and a glance at his scores indicates the improvement n his game. His aggregate of 311 was better than he had done for some considerable time, and enabled him to nualify fqr the amateur championship. Sime again 'putted with accuracy, and iad it not been that four of his putt, stopped dead on the edge of the hole, \e would have been higher upon the list than he actually was. Arthur Duncan had a- bad patch in the morning, which cost him 85 strokes. _n this round Duncan lost three strokes, in playing out of the casual water in the bunker at the short Bth. Duncan found all the trouble that it was possible to find, but he made an excellent recovery in the afternoon.

Morgan Duncan l was eight strokes better tba.ni Arthur Duncan over the four rounds, his game lining characterised by sound golf.

SHAAV IN THE AFTERNOON. .Shaw went out fully deteirniiii'ed' to break the Australian and 1 New Zealand record in tho afternoon, and ending the round with: 73, he achieved his ambition with ait average- of 71 for each round, six strokes less than the prior roecird established by J. H. Kirkwood. Ini his final round Shaw had more than his fair share of bad luck, four of his putts lipped the hole and came out agfain. On the outward journey he carded ihig three indifferent holes. At the first ho sent his second into a bunker, taking one! more than the par score. He did not approach as well as usual at. the sth, while ait the eighth his tee shot, landed in a bunker. However, ho succeeded in getting his 36 for the first .half by obtaining a “birdie” 2 at the short 9th (136yds). Shaw had another lapse at the, 13th, where ho failed to equal par, his putt for a 4 lipping the hole and coming out again. The 14th hole proved to be ■costly for Shaw. Ilis iron- second was out of line, and landed in a bunker on the right side of the green. lie chippod! out too hard, and had a relap.se j with his putter, three putts being required for his second 6 in four rounds. T. 11. Horton’s long game was l uniformly good all day, but he was 1 incliined to play too carefully with his irons, and frequently found himself short with big approaches and putts. J. D. Mclntosh used Ms m,aside' to good advantage in the fourth round. His putting, while not brilliant, was safe. He just missed getting a two at the Bth (196yds), but ho bad better tuck at the 16th, where he, carded a good 3 at a 380 yards hole. F. Rutter played faultless golf in returning the best card of the dav (70). His afternoon brilliance brought ham up to the second' rung with Collins and Mclntosh. His card is as follows: Old" 344354533'— 34. 1n—443544513 30. Total. 70.

COLLINB CONSISTENT. D. 0. Collins uvias probably, with the exception of Shaw, the most consistent golfer at the tournament, and l he fully deserved the honour of heading the qualifying- list for the amateur champion.ship. Brian, Silk fell off slightly in the final round, and, like so maiiy others, lie found it difficult to get. iiisi putts down.- He was next to Collins on the amateur list, being six stroke® behind. Lea Quin struck his real form at last in the final round 1 , which he completed in 74. • Ho drove well and putted more accurately, 'being unfortunate m not holing out some, long putts. He was even with 4’s up to the sixteenth, where he sent his l second into! a. bunker, and took 6 to finish the hole.

Dr. K. 'Ross, on the other hand, went to pieces with his putter on the greens, .requiring three on most. He found the distances difficult, and could not avoid the bunkers.

J. R. Galloway, the Manawatu. Club .professional, had two even rounds today, doiitg m 75 in the morning and a 74 ini the afternoon, his aggregate of 30S placing him third on the qualifying list, for the professional championship. Galloway drove to-day as he .lias never done before, but. his strongest, strokes were played! with, his irons, his putting being steady. The other veteran) professional, 11. R. Blair, of Christchurch, also played .consistent, golf to-day. Bad luck on the putting greens prevented hint from doing the final round in even fours. On the return journey he took 7 at the 13t-li and 4’s at the other eight holes. J. L. Black, twice runner-up in the New Zealand 'amateur championship, has not been putting as well as he is capable of, but a big improvement was noticeable in the final round, and though he 'slipped a few, he improved to such am extent that he gained confidence for next week’s amateur event.

E. S. Douglas did mot drive well over the first half in the afternoon, but ho get better distances in the second half, and despite the fact that he took three putts on ®ix greens, ho ended with a 77.

A. E. Conway had two 4’® for a 69 in the afternoon, but he pushed his second out of line when playing toward the 17th, and took three putts on the TS't'h green, -finishing with a 71. Conway .sank some good medium length putts at the first, fifth and eighth holes.

ADVERSE CONDITIONS,

AN EXCELLENT STANDARD

It was a tribute to the play of competitors in the annual golf tournament ... LUOra that, under conditions which militated very much against, good scores, the general level was ahead of last year and in the South Taranaki championship, which is the leading event of the meeting, the cards returned by the last three men in the qualifying round were better than those of la'st ? ri ’ hls /Peaks well for the game in this district.

n „ T , he toßraamcnt drew players from all parts of Taranaki, from Waverley, Wanganui and Waipukurau, and, despite the bad conditions, all had a most' interesting time.

. In the chief event the best qualifying round was returned by L. W 01 Wai P ukui 'nu, whose total was 80. ffhere were three on 81 and only seven strokes between first and sixteenth.

The course was in excellent order and, contrary to expectations, the greens wore fast on both days, despite the heavy soakings from rain. The standard of play was of a high order on Saturday, for, notwithstanding the boisterous and difficult conditions, it required a round of 95 or better to qualify for the Tertius Handicap. The eonsequence was that some of the lower handicap men, who were expected to gain an entry into the Fairfield Handicap, if not the championship,, did not get into even the third grade. A surprise was effected by H. G. Whitehead, who beat the leader of the first championship round, Bishop, after a close contost. *

The host play of the two days was seen in the match between S. Lovell (Waitara) and H. P. Wills (Eltham), both doing 76 and having to go to the ,19th hole to decide the match. Lovell '•von that on a three to his opponent’s four. The cards were as follow:

H. P. Wills—Out: 3, 5. 6. 4,2, 4,4, 5. 5—38. In: 3. 4, 4. 5. 5, 4. 3. 5. s—25 — 76.

•S. Lovell—Out: 3,4, 5,5, 3,4, 4,5, 4 '~~37, In: 3,4, 4,5, 5,4, 4, 4. 6—39 76.

The general arrangements were in the cajiable hands of a tournament committee consisting of Messrs L. H. Little, M. Page and L. .J. Bull, the last named acting as lion, secretary. That everything went so well is a tribute to tlieir good work and thorough organisation. Visiting competitors were -very pleased with tho attention paid to them. The tea and luncheon arrangements also, run by Mrs McGill, gave satisfaction. Results of the various events were as follow:
