Consistent Performers:
Jim Ferrier and George Thompson won the New South Wales foursome golf championship at the Royal Sydney course with the record score of 143 for 36 holes. Thompson has now won the title three times with Ferrier. and twice with Stan Keane. Von Nida Great Golfer: No more picturesque figure, or perhaps more determined good golfer, has been in the game in Australia than the 21-year-old Queenslander, Norman von Nida, who added to his list of victims in challenge matches the great Walter Hagen, says a Victorian writer. Last year he similarly engaged in a links battle with Gene Sarazen, and defeated him. Thus this youth now has in his belt the scalps of the two most famous of American professional golfers. The engagement with Sarazen was a one-round affair, and von Nida finished 1 up. Against Hagen he played 36 holes, using two courses in Brisbane, and, 1 up in the morning, he finished the second round with the margin intact.
