GOLF NOTES,
[BY R. H. H.)
The final of the Championship was not a very exciting affair, for Stewart soon proved to be far the better and more experienced player à a game which did not produce great golf. As a matter of fact, there was a large number of really fine shots made by each player, but an even greater number of quite devastating ones. That was one of the features, of the morning round especially, that there was very little mediocre golf, with shots getting there". somehow, they were either really well played or so wild that they never looked like finding the green. In consequence, though the very approximate scores for the first round wore terrible, the better ball score of the two players was by na means bad.

The deciding point all through the match was undoubtedly Rolls' play on and round the greens. It was really terrible, and time and again allowed Stewart to win holes which should have been talved 10.08 Both started by putting badly, especially on the approach putis, but while Stewart was steadily holing the longish putts he left himself, Hollis was equally steadily missing his. As the game progress- ed, Stowart got better on the greens, antif by the end his putting, and approaching were very sound indeed. Hollis on the other hand got, if it were possible, even worse until the match was over, after which,

as so often happens, the putts began, 0.20 to drop again.
If Stewart was the only man in it in the short game, the order was to some extent reversed from the tee and through the greco. Stewart was hitting his tee shots a long way but quite a number of them were very wild and he several times found bad trouble. As a matter of fact, good and bad tee shots seemed to occur at alternate holes but time and again he showed his great power of making good an error before the end of the hole. The classic example of this was at the second hole, where he put his tee shot into the ditch and, after drop- ping out into a terrible lie, hit aspoon shot right up to the pit. He would have had quite a possible putt for a 4, including a penalty stroke, but Hollis for once holed a long putt and got a thre

There was rather a large number of stymies laid in the course of the game, far the worst of which occurred at the 8th hole. In the morning Stewart was lying well for a 4, but Hallis' putt stopped only an inch from the hole, and Stewart could do nothing but putt round for a half in . In the afternoon the positions were reversed for Stewart's putt lipped the hole and came out again, to leave Hollis a dead stymis. There were others from longer distances, especially one which lost Hollis a half at the 13th, while Stewart cleverly negotiated a half stymie at the 18th. On the whole these particular misfortunes worked out about level in the course of the match.
