GOLF.

The committee of the Auckland Goh Club have decided to do away with the two hill holes known as the pah and ramparts', owing to that part of the mountain being used so much by the public, and therefore being dangerous to pedestrians and carriages. It is a pity, as the ramparts was one of the most sporting holes on the links. The A.L.G.C. have decided to close their list of playing members. There are already one hundred, and the limit is to be one hundred and ten,

Miss Gillies has resigned her position as secretary, and the committee have appointed Miss Blanche Gorrie as her successor pro tern.

Miss Barstow, the hon. treasurer, is leaving next week for a trip to Wellington to stay with her sister, Mrs J. Cambell, who was for some time secretary and treasurer of the club. Last Thursday the ladies were to have played for their monthly medal, but owing to the inclemency of the weather it had to be postponed until to-day (Thursday).

Mrs O’Rorke, the vice-president, is giving a prize to be played for by unmarried ladies only. It is to be a bogey

match over 18 holes, commencing at the old Ist, 14th, lodge, long hole, hedge, 18t.h, Kyblr Bass, Ist fiat, outpost, 2nd flat/Eastern Crater, Jacobs, ampitheatre, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th, over again. The hedge holes are unplayable on account of the long grass.

There were twenty-two rntrants for the Ladies' Championship of New South Wales. E ight retired at the outset, and only live handed in completed cards of the first two rounds and four of all three rounds. Miss Trevor-Jones led throughout. and this though her driving was not

up to her best form. She played the second shots and short game well, and the performance from the long- tees was excellent. The putting competition was really good. Quite a number holed from the outside ring (about 20ft) in one, and several took only seven for the four putsi. Miss J. Cape (R.S.G.C.) and Miss Cooke did six each, and the former won in the play off. The approaching was poor. Miss Nea Mort, of the Royal Sydneys l , won the driving with 160 yards. The mixed foursomes produced the most remarkable result of all the events. A Marrickville pair, Mrs Aitken (who was playing against medical advice) and Mr Df G. Souiar *the Australian champion) did 76

from scratch. There were 80 entries-- 40 pairs—and this was the only pair on scratch.

The Victorian Ladies’ Cha pionship (three rounds, stroke play) was. won by Mrs H. F. de Little, of Geelong, with a =core of 276 (87—93—96). Mrs de Little is also the. holder of the . Australian Championship, which she won in Adelaide last year.
