CERTAIN CLUBS BARRED. The secretary of the New Zealand Golf Association has received advice from the Rules of Golf Committee of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews to the effect that the committee has recently been giving very careful consideration to the question of certain clubs manufacture! with striking faces having a concavity much more pronounced than in those hitherto in use. It has been decided that the use of clubs so constructed Is not in the best interests of the game, and accordingly from the date of the communication sucli clubs will not be permitted under the Huies of tile Royal and Ancient Club.
