LADIES’ GOLF.
CONDITIONS IN AUSTRALIA
MISS KAY'S OBSERVATIONS. (Per United Press Association ) WELLINGTON, August 29. Miss O. Kay, who returned from Australia yesterday, said that one thing they discovered in Australia was that the handicaps in New Zealand arc far too flattering. " There is not a single lady player,” she said, “on the scratch mark in Australia, and the result was that none of us New Zealanders had a hope in the handicap events. We arc affiliated to the Ladies’ Golf Union of England, while in Australia the ladies have a golf union of their own. Miss Payton thought a lot of the Australian Union, and told me she had a good mind to join it. In Australia, instead of playing to bogey scores, ns wo do in New Zealand, they play to par scores. There is not the slightest question but that our bogey scores are too easy, and all our handicaps should be put up three or four strokes. Until this is done New Zealanders who go ovevseas will have no chance in handicap events.”
