The team is to consist, so I un- derstand, of six players and there is no semblance of a doubt as first to who should fill the four players.. That settled," many feel-ands very strongly that the remaining places should be thrown open to competi- tion (entries. subject to close scrutiny of course). I will not enter into any arguments relative to the respective merits of indivf- dual players composing the group referred to; tho conditions. obtain- ing at Fanling are so totally dif ferent from those existing, hore that past local performances are hardly a criterion tipon which to
gro.
One style of play, extremely effective here would be hopelessly out of place on most courses and at Kowloon. But as I said we must not enter into this type of? controversy. Suffice it to say that within the group mentioned there is much of a likeness in the quality. of the golf of its components-at least locally. The feeling there... fore amongst these is that the selection committee should give them
an opportunity of Com- peting for the fifth and sixth places in the Interport team. Two 18-hole rounda should be played one at Klangwan and the other at Hungjao-and the aelection made from, the cards. returned, at the discretion of the selectora. I feel certain the com- mittees of both these clubs would be only too pleased to help the selection committee and incidentally give much pleasure to many a very keen golfer and sportsman not altogether out for glory. Trials are played in connexion with cricket, football, rugby, etc., so why- not with golf?
I commend this matter to the consideration of the selection com- mittee. It is admittedly the fairest way of doing the thing and will" banish any cause for heartburnings which any other manner of selection must necessarily create. golfers give only of their very best under the hardest conditions and there is more than one here yearn- ing for the opportunity of repre- seating. Shanghai? Why not give them the chance?
