Value of Mental Check on Your Figures.

GOLF HANDICAP

A Dangerous Habit. You may, on the other hand, get into a duogerous habit of feeling satisfied with your golf, when re-
for your "five" you will keep your average safe, and perhaps ox- perience the thrill of getting a par "four." If you diacard the helpful stroke to which you are entitled, and go all out, the slightest error will give you the mortification of a "six."
Check Your Figures.
By always keeping this mental chock on your figures you will see where the mistakes lie which give you bad holes, and avon greater length or accuracy will entitle you to a lower handicap. Analyse your

Your handicap should be a help to you, not a hurden if you keep It in its proper place. By that I mean to utter a word of warning to improving players who are overi anxious to reduce their allowance of strokes, and bring it down to a figure which they can seldom play

The Handicap You Need.
You want a handicap which you can fairly use on your average play. If you toil away with card and pencil the day will surely come when you are on your game under favourable conditions, and in will go a score which you cannot hope to reproduce for many a long day, Thon you will feel the burden of your handicap; feel that your golf is deteriorating instead of improy ing, and experience discontent;
FOUNDATION STONE LAID AT K.C.C.
Mr. R. E. Lindsell Voices His Optimism.
'CLUB'S STRENGTH & SOLIDITY.
Before a fair number of mem- bers and their friends. Mr. R. E. Lindsell, the President of the Kowloon Cricket Club, laid the foundation stone of the new K.C.C. clubhouse yesterday evening.
In performing the ceremony, Mr. Lindsell said that it was not his intention to make a speech but that a few remarks were in keep- ing with the occasion.,
"The erection of this building (' marks the turning point of the history of the club. We have em- barked on a new and momentous enterprise, which involves consider- able expenditure and some risk, but for the issue of this enter- prise, we need have no fears. The strength and solidity of this stone are emblematic not only of the ex- eellence of this building that is going up, but also of the whole future of the club" (Applause.)
