No, the EH.E. Golf Clab is a Men's Club, and must be controlled by the men. I hope my lady readers will not despise me for the attitude I have taken. I have Enid "what I have said because I am convinced that the Club will be better run under one Committee, and expenses will be kept down, which is essential to "keep the game within the means of the majority of the young men of the Colony.
1 am greatly in favour of encouraging Indies Golf, and for this reason I would rafrongly alvocate the formation of

Owing to the growing congestion on the Old Course at Fanling, some measures will be 'nectendry to relieve it, and one of the first must be to confine the course to men only on Saturdays and Sundays.
