Thc greens have, during the off season, been fenced and repeatedly topdressed, with the result that they are now in comparatively good order, while the laying down of a new green and approach at No. 7 has made the eld green unrecognisable.

Air Boll’s coaching last year gave great satisfaction, and his visit is expected to result in making improvement of play.
