SEAFIELD CLUB NOTES AND COMMNETS. (By "All Square.’’) Opening Day. Wintry skies with a touch of drizzling rain ushered in the season la>t Saturday. In spite of the dull conditions a large number gathered to try conclusions ■with bogey.

Fairways. The fairways were in excellent tenditionn and reflect credit on Mr C. G’. Younp-, who has been looking after the course during the summer months. The bright emerald green was a welcome relief after the parched-up conditions of the summer months. Shelter Sheds. Shelter sheds, a welcome addition to the amenities of the links, have made their appearance on the lower part of the course. Golfers will no longer bo able to make excuses for staying inside the clubhouse on rainy daysNew Members.

New members arc beginning to roll up, and Seaficld should be able to boast of a large attendance of rising players this season. Several of last season’s beginners arc showing excellent form this scaton, many of them being able to do their nineties. Easter Tournaments.

Golfers will be well catered for this Easter for tournaments. New Plymouth and Palmerston North will no doubt be popular with local players. The usual large contingent will again make the capital of rhe butter-fat province their Mecca. From the Rough. He who always drives the green, must reckon up his score; One and two make three— But one ami three make four. Here is a bit Oit caddie dialogue in Cockney accent related by an Australian- "Say, Joey, what was the big fat bloke doing on the last ’ole lying on his stummick with his face in the long grabs'?” " ’E broke all ’is bloomin’ clubs, and ’he was bitin’ tho ball. ’’ Nowadays the "Sabbath day’s journey” so often referred to in the Bible is interpreted as meaning twice round an 18-hole course.

Here are a few golfing definitions, not from Euclid: A hole has neither position nor magnitude. A short putt is infinite breadth without length; a long putt is interminable length without breadth. Out of bounds means that a player’s luck is altogether past bearing. Salesman: This is a type of mowing machine that pays for itself, sir. Prospect (greens committee man): As soon as it has done so you may deliver it at my club.
