Christoe, practising- at Kensington (Sydney) recently put up a record for the first nine holes by going out in 34. This (eaya a Sydney writer) has never been done before either in. practice or competition. He started with a good four, a three at the second, and excellent four at the third, and a four at the fourth. In the fifth green he holed a long putt, and notched a 3 (bogey 5). At the sixth 500 yards, he holed out off the green in three (bogey 6). He missed a short putt at the seventh, and took 4, and the eighth and ninth were done in 4 and 5 respectively. On the homeward journey he did not do so well, taking 44. If he keeps this up (he continues) Christoe will be a hard nut to crack in. the State Championship.
