Fassured his old friends that he is still capable of winning the Championship. The core, with the exception of Mr. T. W. Hill's 80 and 84, which showed steady, if pot brilliant golf, did not look well on The only exeu, that could be paper. offered in defence, was the last nature of the greens, which have completely changed within the last fortnight; with the result, that the majority of players suffered from putting paralysis," The Greens Coni- mittee, were in no way to blame for the high scores, for the course was in excellent Condition.
Lalking of putting, I heard a suggestion put forward, during the week-end, that putts should "only count as half a stroke, "This idea. would certainly appeal to' thei -majority of players, for," as the proposer remarked, my grandmother could prob nbly hole uus in iwo, if she once trachett the green, but I'm d.....d if she could get a ptne sth in two! There is something in what he says, for the best player, might sily be beaten by a novice, in n putting competition. 1 feur, however, that the Rules Commnstre, of the Royal and Ancient, would turn down such a proposition, with disgust. in future, I will make und stipulation, in a friendly matches, to neither give nor, avecpu the gift of, a putt, however short.
The following, notice is posted in the andies Club-house, at Foaling, regarding the booking of bedrooms. "(1) Week-end booking. A room may only be backed by the same member or subscriber, for two separatë 'week-ends. Should, however, ga vacuacy Queur, within two days of the desired date, an extra week-end booking may be obtained. (2) Monthly bookings. A member or subscriber may book a room, for a day extending over a whole month, or shorter period, other than an actual week-end, ng laid down in Rule (1) Also rooms must be booked through the care- Staker's wife, who has charge of the register. Although there has bees plenty of vacant accommodation so far, this season, it is' almost ċertain that there will be a rush for accommodation later on; so it is an excellent idea to have a rule that faill give everyone an equal chance. At the sama time, the rule as it stands does not strike as being particularly good. For instance, rule (3) might easily be the cause of loss of income to the Club, on account of vacant rooms, which might otherwise have been booked, except for the fact, that those desirous of booking them, are pre- vented from doing so, as they have already booked up two week-oada ahead. Admit- tely they could book the room two days before actually requiring it, but one cau- mot imagine anyone taking the risk of turning down other engagementa, on the off chance of getting the room at the last moment. A for rule (9), why not turn the indien Club-bouse into a boarding establishment, for stranded couples 1 No, think the fairest, plan would be, to let no une book a room, for more than one week. end at a time, and that, not earlier, than, the Saturday of the preceding week-end. Also, with the very restricted accommoda tion, monthly and even weekly bookings, should not be allowed.
For the absolute disregard of the tiquette of golf, I think the following
