GOLF
BRITISH AMATEURS AT SHIRLEY PRAISE FOR COURSE By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH. January 4. A large gallery at Shirley to-day saw splendid golf by the visiting British amateurs, the Hon. Michael Scott, J, McLean, T. A. Bourn and L. G. Garnett, who met a team of Christchurch Club players in fourball matches. The local players were in good form, and the visitors had to return better than scratch scores to win by a narrow margin in each case. The weather was overcast but mild, and apart from a light drizzle towards the end of the morning round, playing conditions were excellent. The course, in spite of the recent drought, was in good order, and earned high praise from the visitors, although most of them had difficulty in gauging the strength of the greens. Results:— Morning Round. Scott and McLean beat C. J. Ward and C. A. Seymour 3 and 2. Bourn and Garnett beat A. R. Blank and E. J. Pumphrey 3 and 2. Afternoon Round. Scott and McLean beat Blank and Pumphrey 2 and 1. Bourn and Garnett beat Ward and Seymour 3 and 2.
