The draw for the Colony's Cham picnship has been so arranged that all who are not membera at Fani- ing will play round with members,. and as non-members have already had the opportunity of familiaris ing themselves with the course (1 understand that a number wore playing there yesterday) they will not be at too great a disadvantage as compared. with regular weers of the course.

Among the players competing in the Championship as members of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club are, several former champions of the Club and others who have figured prominently in the Championship. A comparative newcomer who w ing the four months he has been in the Colony has played consistent- ly near to his handicap of 6 and who should finish high up in one list on Sunday is C. W. F Bookor. formerly of the Disley (Derbyshire)' and Hazelgrove Golf Clubs.
If the weather is ng ideal on Sun- day na it was last week-end, scores. in the Championship should be on the low side. The Old Course and Greens are in Ane condition, and this was reflected in the excellent scores returned in the Bogey Pool last week-end, in spite of the fact that back.tecs were is us
·There is a wonderful difference in the condition of the New Course at Fanling as compared with last sen- scm. The fairways are infinitely batter and the addition of judic ously placed bunkers ovens this up so far as the scores of many players are concerned! It"will be a long time before one can expect the greens to be as good as on the Old Course, but they are certainly great- ly improved.
