Club Chat. In the season’s eclectic competition Hutchison has drawn level with L. Little, each now having a score of 30. The greens were very bumpy after Saturday’s rain and true putting was out of the question. During last week J. Corbett and L. Little each had a card of 37 for nine holes. This is the lowest score recorded this season. '
