GOLF
AUSTRALIAN PROFESSIONALS GIVE EXHIBITIONS By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, December 17. Rain interfered with the exhibition match between Australian professionals and local professionals to-day, but enough was seen of the visitors to be impressed with their skill. W. Bolger and W. L. Kelly played nine or ten holes with A. Murray and E. J. Moss, and the local players had a slight advantage at the finish. G. Naismith and his cousin, E. Naismith, were partnered against N. C. Bell and T. Galloway, and local knowledge played a big part in this match, Bell and Galloway having the advantage at the end of twelve holes. The players will leave America about April 1, and It is hoped that arrangements can be made for a visit to Japan. Failing this, they will return via Auckland, and it is possible that a tour of New Zealand may be arranged. H. Campbell, an amateur golfer accompanying the team, said regular professional matches between Australia and New Zealand would create great interest and would lead to a general improvement in the standard in each country. There was no doubt that golf in Australia had greatly benefited from the visit of the Americans, and if matches on the lines of the KirkWindeyer Cup event could be arranged, it would be a step in the right direction.
