WOMEN’S GOLF HANDICAPS
REVISION IN NEW ZEALAND. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian press Association. Sydney, Sept. 1. The women golfers here agreed with Miss Kay that the golf handicaps in New Zealand are too flattering and that New Zealand players in the handicap events at the recent Australian championships suffered thereby. The handicaps here are revised every two years, but no player’s mark is ever moved up more than six strokes. Prominent officials consider that a general tightening up of the handicapping methods is necessary in New Zealand, if visiting players are to be placed on an equal footing with Australians.
