It behoves every member to attend, as some very important business will be discussed and voted upon. The eclectic match now in progress is creating a lot of interest.’ (Some very good cards were handed in. which, with very little improvement and a big handicap, will bring them in the fifties—a big hurdle for the short-handicap players, whose only hope will be in nothing over n three. When players with a handicap of 36 or so hand in cards of 110 gross and others of 106 with handicap of 28, things look blue for the senior players. But with the L.G.U. system of handicapping these players are at once brought downto their proper level. And it is so encouraging to think we have so many young players coming on—and maybe, a champion. Christchurch.

When the committee of a West of Scotland Club were going over the course recently with a view to various improvements, the greenkeeper baited a few score paces in front of one of the tees to suggest that this would be a good place for a bunker. On being pressed for a reason, he thought a bunker there “would ha’e a graun’ chance o’ gruppin’ thae trittiers.” In the name of all golfers, w« tlrank him for a word that was much needed. It frequently happens that when a player does a hole in one, the rest of the round is very mediocre by contrast, but a holed tee shot helped E. Jones, of Chislehurst. who has been playing very well of late, and had scores of 65 and 64, to beat even these with.a 61. This included a one at the eighth, and. what is perhaps still more remarkable, his score for seven consecutive holes —the seventh to the thirteenth —was two below threes, and his total for the first thirteen holes only two above threes. The details were:—« Out: 4. 4, 3. 4. 3. 4. 3, 1. 4—30. In: 2.4, 2,3, 6, 4. 4, 3. 3—31. Total, 61. Every putt was holed. The short “island” hole nt Ashdown Forest is endowed with the sum of £5, the accumulated interest of which is to go to the competitor who does it in one at any of 4110 three chief meetings of the year. The interest is still waiting to be claimed "
