LOCAL CONDITIONS REVERT TO NORMAL
Kowloon G.C. Fairways
In Fine Trim: Merits
Of
Various Holes
(By "Birdie"}
AT LONG LAST courses are nearing normal. Water has either evaporated or drained away, and, generally speaking, the ground is none too worse for it. The fairways at Kowloon are in cx- ceptionally fine condition, and, except for the 1st where one is as often as not likely to find the ball plugged, it is really a pleasure to play on them. With reasonable accuracy, one can be sure to find the ball sitting on a bit of "pretty".
Drainage and grass-cutting has worked wonders at the Country Club, Sheungshiu, while latest news from the Shek-O Country Club is that the new 18th hole has been opened, and Par for the course has been reduced from 70 to 64.
