FORM OF N.Z. GOLFERS.

Sydney Links More Difficult than Home Courses. (Special to the '* Star.”) AUCKLAND, June 27. ” There is no doubt that the Rose Bay links, where the Kirk-Windeyer Cup was played, is more difficult to score on than most Dominion courses,” said Mr Rex George, a wellknown Maungakiekie player, who visited Sydney to see the cup and New South Wales championships. The scratch score s} r stem had been discarded in Sydney, and the holes were laid out on the par system, leading to the development of a free and strong hitting type of player. Silk made the finest impression of the New Zealanders. He had a gruelling match in the morning prior to his defeat by Brinsden in the fourth round of the New South Wales championship. Brinsden played splendidly in this tourney, though the fast greens did not suit his style of putting. No members of the New Zealand team returned by the Aorangi to-day.
