ENTERPRISING YOUNG NEW ZEALANDER.-Schoolboy at Islington, Canterbury, have formed a golf club of their own and constructed a full 18-hole course on the village green. They did all this work themselves. Play is confined, of course, to after-school hours and the holidays, but the club also has its social side. The boys were given the use of an old garage, which they fitted up as a club-house. Somehow or other the boys gathered enough clubs to play with. Three or four actually have sets of steel-shafted clubs; they went caddying until they had earned enough to buy them with.
