Mr. Hilton's Push Approach. Mr. Hilton has.his own special method of executing an approach of medium length with an iron club. I have never seen it practised by any other player, amateur or professional. It is a sort of “push” shot, with the hands in front of the ball, and the club coming on the centre of the bail’s mass rather than underneath it —as it would do if the desire were to produce a lofting stroke pure and simple.—“l.inksman,” "in the “Edinburgh Evening News." The Wilfully Blind. There are those who even irow are slow to recognise the prowess of the ladies on the links. It is not until they actually see players like Miss Ravcnsseourt and Miss Cecil Leitch that tha s»xihs fall from their eyes.—**The Seotsmaii.” A Miserable Game to "Watch.

It is to be hoped that when the suggested new condition! for the champiiHiship nre considered, (lie advisability of replaying a final that was all square will be considered. The possibility of luck being the. deciding fact of a match should be removed.—“ldoyd’a News-

Young male beginners, at the game in ■these days can sometimes hit our modem balls so very far that there is hardly anything left for them to do, ami they <an therefore play rounds iu extremely small scores, and yet lie playing if not bail golf, yet very ugly ami quite incorrect golf.—Mr. Henry' Leach, in the “Outlook."
