The English Close, Championship,
Thia championship was held this year at Burnham on Sea and was preceded by the County Champion- ship, which was won by Lancashire, Surrey being a close second.
Fourteen teams, each consisting of four players, entered and, as always, it was a very pleasant meet- ing.
Lancashire can always put a strong team into the field and, with the popularity of golf in the County and the numerous courses along the coast to Southport, they have a large field on which to draw.
In
the Close Championship, Sutton, last year's winner, appears to have reproduced his form and reached fifth round along with such other well-known players as Layton, Boarn and Cave.
His success has given further rise to comments on his non-inclusion in the Walker Cup team.
Buraham on Sea lies to the south of Weston super Mare and is a most delightful course well worth a visit for anyone spending part of their leave in that part of the country.
Most of the holes lie amongst the undulating dunes close to the seashore, and practically every hole is an isolated unit. In only a fox cases can you see a hole other than the one you are playing. Con- acquently there is always a surprise
