When a golfer accomplishes a hole in one stroke, he is doubtful of his luck, for there is usually a fairly heavy penalty to be paid at the nineteenth. The financial burden of the penalty depends on the number who becomo aware of the performance, and sometimes becomes fairly weighty. A South. African course until recently had an endowment fund of £5, with accumulated interest, waitihg for the first player who during week-end play on the links secured an ace. The original sum was presented by Mr. Harry Payne in 1014, aud the fund was handed over to Mr. 11. W. Taylor, a Durban resident who fulfilled the conditions of the bequest. Here is a means by which wealthy patrons of golf courses might distribute largesse without having to be personally thanked for it.
