DEEP WATER BAY COURSE. | COMMENT ON THE SECOND league matches were decided. In
[BY WRYNECK."]
Appropriately, when golf is most popular on the island, Deep Water Bay is at present in perfect can. dition. The gran is luxuriant on the fairways and the greens are good.
The plans for the Happy Valley club house have been on view for some time and show an attractive building. The verandah in parti- cular is well designed with an ab sence of those pillars which spoil the club houses at Deep Water Bar and Fnaling." Half the attractive- ness of a golf club house depends on the possibility of whiling away tines of waiting by watching other people making a mess of the 18th, and supporting pillars do not assist in this selfish pastime!
On the other hand if this pastime cannot be indulged in, players must need find other forms of amusement with perhaps greater support, viá the bar, to the club's finances. There always seem to be two sides. to a picture if one only looks long enough.
I understand some of those who do me the honour of reading these motes have been rather disappointed lately at the sparseness of refer- eaces to local golf. Just now. as everybody knows, there is nothing very "thrilling in the local golf world, but if any reader will be kind enough to pass on any item of particular interest for this calama to me, care of the Editor, I shall be very grateful for his (or her)
assistance..
'The Amateur Championship. Final.
Bobby Jones's decisive win against Wethered was due to two things Firstly, he played a superlative first round in which he took more than four shots only at one hole, namely, the 11th, where he miss- ed a four foot patt to create a new record for St. Andrew's Secondly, Wethered failed on numerous casions to sink the five foot putts which, between players of this class, makes the difference between win. ning and losing matches.

TEST.
There is no geting away from it that the English eleven was fairly and squarely baten in the second Test Match. Reuter, as usual, is rather silent or points one would like to know. But it was stated that the wicket was perfect and we won the tos. As a matter of fact, you can hardly say that the English side filed, although the trouncing was so decisive. They made exactly dght hundred runs in their two innings. But what happened "was that Australia's bowlers could get wickets at a cost, while our could not. It is quite clear that after the first two wickets fell, for over £re hundred and fifty I think, the other bustled. about for runs and of course hud only tired bowers to deal with.
The Changes in the side.
The three changes were interest ing. Dick Tyldesley was dropped. Whether White, who took his place, lid better or worse than the Lanca- shire man might probably have done at have no means of knowing at the time of writing. He got three wickets, sending down fifty-one over for a shide over three runs apiece, which is pretty good in an innings of even hundred and twenty-nine. Reuter is silent as to dropped catches, but we know Bradman was not dropped.
