TODAY’S PLAY. Proceedings commenced this morning under adverse weather conditions, light misty rain falling and the atmosphere being exceptionally humid. At 10 o’clock a general improvement was evident and there was some prospect of the day being fine. The greens sodden as a result of the heavy rain over the week-end and had deteriorated considerably, extra strength being required to reach the head.
