GOLF NOTES.

THE GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP. Tn the first eighteen holes of the golf championship final, played at Christchurch last week, S. H. Goilan and C. E. S. Gillies competed, the result' being that at the end of the day’s play the former was leading by one up. Goilan went away with a strong lead and won the first five holes, the sixth being halved. Gillies won the seventh, eighth and ninth, Goilan lying two up at the turn. The tenth fell to Goilan, and the eleventh was halved. Goilan got into the fence going over the twelfth and gave up the hole. The thirteenth was halved, and Gollan won the fourteenth. Gillies, by a lucky long put. won the fifteenth, luid Goilan, getting into difficulties in the fence at the sixteenth, the Auckland player won that hole also. The seventeenth halved in four. Gillies at this stage was putting very badly, and, failing in two miserable short puts at the rath hole, allowed Goilan to win. Tn the second round Goilan held his advantage, for, although the score was all square after several holes, Gillies failed to obtain a lead, and the result was that Goilan won the championship by three upland one to play.
