In the first found of the professional <rolf championship both Moss and Douglas were playing, brilliant golf. Moss set off in the morning m great style and completed the round in 70 and finished 3 up on Butler, and in the afternoon Butler won the second with a three, but Moss evened things up by winning the sth with a like figurp. He played 0 a magnificent second with the wind at the 7th to hole an eagle three. The next five holes were halved in par figures, but Butler won the 13th and 14th with fours. He put a ball out of bounds at French Pass and Moss was dormy, and a half in four at the 16th wave him the match. ° Douglas was also round in 70 in the mOrriing,. and in the afternoon his caid read:—Out: 4,4, 4,3, 5,4, 4, 5—37. In: 3,4, 4, where the match ended. He is now right back to his old form and his’progress will be watched, with interest. Jimmy Quin’s putter was quite an ordinary weapon to-day and Jack Black, played, at the top of his form. As a result Quin -had. to cry enough, at the 12th hole. Black was three under fours at the time. Conway and Dale went-, out . very steadily, each reaching the turn in 39. COniirig in; Dale won? the 10th and halved the° 11th. Conway was rather lucky here as he pulled his tee. shot very badly. Conway then started to play par golf and Dale dropped a stroke at each of the next five holes, with the result that he was beaten four up and Grey and Whyte both started with perfect fours at each of the' first three holes. Grey had a seven-foot putt for a win at the 4th, but overran the hole badly and took two more and lost it. The next two were halved, but a great iron second gave Grey a three and a win at the. 7th. He missed a .rather easy putt for a half at The Quarries, and after the 9th had- been halved was still one down. He holed a-two at the 10th and halved the 11th. . He lost the 12th, taking three putts.' The 13th was halved. Whyte was badly, in trouble at The Encampment, • but. Grey took two to o-et out of a bunker on the edge of the green and a half in six resulted. Grey° won the 15th arid halved the 16th, but* lost the last two holes. Conway struck a very hot- proposition in the Christchurch man, K. C. Ward, who breezed out in a faultless 36 and was 4 up. Coming in he started 3,5, 3,4, and the New Plymouth player ■was unable to cope with this. NEW PLYMOUTH LADIES’ CLUB. MATCH AT HOME LINKS.
