Hard Hitting And Dribbling Country Club "At Home"
Emphasis On Footwork
For Beginners
POOR HITTING is usually the outcome of bad habits acquired at the beginning of a hockey playor's career, and although hockey is by no means a game of hard hitting, it demands, on occasions, that the full power of the body and the arms should be exerted in the execution of stroke. The real art of hitting, therefore, is im- portant to acquire.

Correct foolwork tends to correct hutting. Do not have the ball too near the body, which if permitted to get right over the ball will not allow the correct drive. Another thing is to give the wrists full ploy.

THE REASON
THE ideal of the Legislators in those days was to encourage dribbling and make the game more scientific by the prevention, as far as possible, of reckless, slogging.
This is the opportune moment for such a proposal, as the Tournament has just begun, and I feel sure that Club Secretaries will agree with me that something should be done for the officials.

BRILLIANT WEATHER attended the Annual "At Home" of the Country Golf Club, Sheungshiu, on Sunday last, and the occasion was made all the more successful by the record number of friends and members who were present.
The playing in of the new Captain, a ceremony that takes place annually at all Golf Clubs, was another feature - of the day. Mr. F. E. D'Almada Remedios drove down the first fairway into a crowd of caddies that made it look like a Hyde Park meeting.
The caddie who retrieved the
ball deserved his recompense for
he took the ball in full flight as it swooped down to the ground. But it was not as amusing as the ceremony last year when the Captain badly topped the ball into the first ditch where his caddis for that day was waiting!
Various competitions were held throughout the day, but the greens were almost, as hard as granite, and consequently putting was very dif ficult. The President, Mr. A. W. Ramsey, tried his hand as last com- petitor in one of these competitions,
