Cup. competition. H. H. Mundy and W. A. Stewart head- ed the list with two 67's. I noted from the results reported in, a contemporary that the latter was precluded for some reason.
Second score placing went to W. J. Geall with a net 70, while the rest of the qualifiers tailed off to the low 80's.
It was indeed a surprise to read that Pat Taylor had been nosed out of the 16 match-play qualifiers in a field of 24, his low handicap stands as proof positive of his past prowess and one is led to wonder if this slip can be attributed greens.
