KOWLOON GOLFERS SYMPATHY FOR
SHORTLY TO HAVE
A NEW COURSE
Unofficial proposals regarding the 1934 new alte for the Kowloon Golf Club 1935 have been received, and it confirmed 1038 and carried out, will mean finpl | 1937 settlement of the problem and ensure satisfactory golfing facilities for the future, declared the President (Mr. W. A. Stewart) at the annual meeting yesterday,
In his remarks, Mr. Stewart said:

The accounts 113 at June
show 4 loss of $483.75. This is $804.07 on the wrong side compared with last year and is accounted for by loss income, $440.75 and increased expenditure $254.22. The lucrease in expenditure is princ!- pally on course maintenance which is a fuetuating item. Loss of revenue is accounted for by a decrease in competition fees of $232.67 and a drop in bar profits of $209.00, due to much
reduced turnover.
It is interesting to note comparative figures for previous years. “ Men Women Sea- farem

In spite of the loss on worlding for the year, however, the financial posi- tion of the Club is sound. An. analysis of the unlance sheet shows the following positions: Fixed assets including course $19,325.04; movable arcts $4,100.17; cash and debtors.

It has been suggested that sub- scriptions should be paid monthly Instead of half yearly, and I recom- mend this matter to the attention of the incoming Committee.

BRADMAN
London, Aug. 26. The Governor of South Australis, Sir Winston Dugan, has cnbled his sympathy to Don Bradmon over his accident-Reuter Bulletin.
opinion that further encroachment upon golfing time was likely to lead to state of affairs whereby the existence of the Club would be in jeopardy. Much has happened within the last 12 months to prove the truth of this statement and I will come to the point at once by telling you that nolice was given to the Club on January 28, by the Military Authorl- ties that golfing facilities could not be continued after September 1, 1930.
It would serve no useful purpose to give you detailed information on the protracted negotiations regarding the time allotment of the rango area for golf for the 1837-8 season. Protests and arguments were of no avall and your Committee was finally com- pelled to accede to fresh demands on been our playing time. It has evident for some time that the range was likely to be required for shooting to a much greater extent than formerly, and as our tenancy agree- ment clearly states that golf must be subservient to shooting, the only course left open to the Committee was to accept that position and en- deavour to make other arrangements. The question of a new site for the Club has been under consideration by the Government for some time, and on receipt of notice to quit our pre- sent site negotiations were menced by a Sub-committee appoint- ed for this purpose. I am happy to be able to tell you that overtures have received sympathetic considera- Lion and that proposed and have been received which, if
com-
carried out, would mean final settle- ment of the Kowloon Golf Club pro- blem and ensure satisfactory golding facilities for the future. These pro- posals are unoficial and informal, consequently I am not in a position now to divulge more Information but whenever the proposals take offeinl form (which I hope will be soon) an extraordinary general meeting will be called when members will be advised of detalls and will have an oppor- tunity of expressing their views.
It is realised that even if new site were available now it would not be possible to construct a course in readiness for play before September 1. 1939, but I have no doubt that the military authorities would be open to reason in granting continuance of present facilities until a new course might be reasonably fit for play.
Course and Buildings Maintenance of the course has been none tou easy in view of the military work in progress during the year unal the fine state of the greens and most of the fairways reflects great credit upon your greens committee consider- ing the dimculties with which they have had to contend.
In connection with the military work in progress I have been in- formed that this is likely to be com- pleted before the end of October. In order to accomplish this by that time It will be necessary for contractors to concentrate on the work and this will mean a good deal of Inconvenience to gollera. "I ask members however to exercise tolerance in this respect and lo refrain from interference in any way with the work being conducted. I think you will agree that the work that has been done has generally Improved the, arcu and..when..com- pleted and all obstacles removed, I believe that the course will be in betier condition than ever it was befom. Any member who feels he has been unreasonably interfered with in his game in consequence of the work which is going on is kindly requested to voice his objections to the Committee of this club in pre- ference to taking the law into his own hands, as such notion only makes the duties of the Committee more dimcult.
Competitions
The competitions have been very keenly contested and I take this opportunity of congratulating the winners of all the Club's trophies. I wish particularly to refer to tho success of our captain, W. Taylor, in winning the championship for the Arst time.
I take this opportunity to thank members of the Committee who have assisted me in my duties as Chairman during the year, also to Mr. Stoker, our Secretary, who has done so much work for the club during the last few years.
