GOLF NOTES.

(By

“Stymie.”)

Mr A. E. D’Arcy has presented a prize to be played for by Messrs Colbeck, Lawrence, C. and 11. Gillies. 11. and C. Gillies will try conclusions again, and it. will be interesting to see how the match goes. If. Gillies is a very confident player, and it is an open secret that he does not think the task set him lieyond his abilities, and indeed C. Gillies will have to put his best foot foremost from the jump if he desires to win. It will be remembered that Mr 11. Gillies defeated his brother in 1 he N.Z. championship, but in this event there is a chance of the positions being reversed. Colbeck should beat Lawrence if he is on his game, but Lawrence is such a solid player that he will not be able to allow himself the luxury of a few bad holes. C. Gillies should win an interesting competition. Last Thursday Ihe Auckland Ladies’ Golf Club held a general meeting at the club house. One Tree Hill. There was a fair attendance, Mrs Hope Lewis being in the chair. The meeting was called to consider

the raising of honorary member’s subscription. As the old one of 5/ a year was considered too small it was decided -to raise it to 10/ for the entrance fee and 10/ a year. It was also decided to raise the visiting members’ subscription to 5/ a month. A very desirable new rule was formed by which any one wishing to join the ladies’ club after the half year could become a member by paying 2/6 a month till the financial year commenced in March.

The professional engaged by the club has arrived, and it. is anticipated that during the coming season there will be a marked improvement amongst, those who are availing themselves of his services. His terms are 2/6 an hour, and at pre; sent his time is much occupied. He is also an experienced club maker, and his coming supplies a long felt want, as up till now it. was difficult to have one's clubs repaired.
