WINDY WEATHER
Penalty Strokes For Hitting Flag From Within Twenty Yards
(By "Birdie"}
A MORE DIFFICULT WIND for golf than that of Sunday can hardly be imagined. I do not know quite how bad it was at Fanling, where thore is a certain amount of shelter from the troes, but the brawny Scotsmen seemed to have weathered it in fine stylo-judging by the result| of the annual Societies match.
At Sheungshiu, on the open Country Club course, it swept unimpeded right across the line of holes, and made it a most unfortunate day for the playing of the first round of the Ladies Cup competition. Scores reached collossal proportions, but I will not mention them.
Worst of all, it was impossible |
to keep the sand on the greens, The wind swept them bare, and left only the clay upon which to putt. The rain, however, had made them soft, and when one was canny enough to make wind allowances, approach shots stay- ed there.
In fact after playing them, it seems indicated that until grass greena are forthcoming, the Club has a solution to its great- est problem; namely, how to deal with the greens when they hardlen. And that is keep them well watered and thus soften them.
There was, however, only one sur- prise result, and that was the elimina- tion of Miss Molly Churn by Miss L. G. Ablong.
The results were:

The defenders of bell teams play. ed well and slaved off many quick attacks. The Engineers' forwards were slightly quicker than Ordnance and also showed more ball control and securate shooting.
Play in the first half was fairly even, and the second period saw both teams opening vigorously, Hom- burg broke through the defence and netted a high shot to give Royal En- gineers the only goal of the games.
Both the RA.O.C. forwards and defenders played hard but the former lost several attacking opportunities which spoiled chances to score.
The two goalkeepers, Dobsen for R.E., and Osmund for R.A.O.C., dis- tinguished themselves by good play. Russell, Goodwin, Bowling and Mar- riott proved formidable defenders for the winners. Stone and Lock were prominent amongst the hard workers of RAO.C.
