LONGER HOLES NEEDED
TO IMPROVE NEW ZEALAND GOLF. [Per Press Association. — Copyright .] WELLINGTON, This Day. “You have some very promising players in New Zealand,” said Mrs P. Hodson, captain of the touring British golf team, discussing the New Zealand tour, “but you should lengthen your courses, or they will never really improve their game. You must lengthen many of the holes, so it takes two full wood shots to get on most of the greens. That, I think, is where our players have the advantage; they are used to playing long shots to the green and yours are not. There are too many holes in New Zealand that need only a mashie second.”
