GOLF.
An amusing golf story comes from Waipa. Two of the senior members of the local club wore playiiig for the usual shilling a hole, and were accompanied by a junior lady player and a recruit to the game, whose ability (according to the Waipa Post) is easily excelled by the force of his rhetoric. The gamo was half-way through, and the Scotsman of the party was stammering slightly, being 6s down. The lady had the honour, and hit tho ball well over the hill out of sight. The men played shots, and all approached the nutting green, but the lady’s ball oould not be found until the Scotsman holed out and discovered tho missing “pill” in the tin. It is reported on credible authority that the lady smiled sweetly,, and remarked: “Dear me I Do you know 1 thought I’d missed it!”
