Spectators at the New Zealand golf championships at Shirley had a strenuous day following the professionals’ final between A. Murray and A. J. Shaw, and there were so many that not even the efforts of a dbzeh stewards could ensure that all had a clear view of the greens. Each hole, -therefore, became largely a race for position, and there must have been many in the crowd who twice covered the 6232 yards of the course at a steady trot, • interrupted only by the pauses while the players made their shots. The professionals, incidentally, played their two rounds at an extraordinarily fast pace—under two hours in the morning and little more in the afternoon, although the. average time for a round is two hours and a-half.
