Around The Courses Kowloon Golfers Appreciate Country Club Course
Sand Greens Presented No Obstacles: Match To Be Duplicated
(By "Birdie")
BRILLIANT WEATHER at Shoungshiu on Sunday contributed to make the Country Club- Kowloon golf match one of the most pleasant functions at the New Territories' Club. The sand greens presented little difficulty to the Kowloon players, in fact, they were not quite as fast as was anticipated.
It was altogether a genial day, and the score, as was mon- tioned at the end of the day, was of no consequence. There were only seven of the 18 matches in which byes were played, and the Country Club won three of those seven.
The complete scoren were:
A. W. Ramsey beat A. J. Dennis 6 and 3
A. A. Lopes beat W. V. Ahern 6 and 4
R. E. Lee lost to E, F, Fincher 5 and 3
F. E. A. Remedios and R, K, Collings all square

Two Bridge players can use the DUO-BRIDGE Board anywhere and at any time; there is no need to go out to the Club on these black nights.
You will enjoy it in any situation, because it is the very best Bridge game for two people yet invented.

Neither player sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play. It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, indeed the hands have been very carefully slected.
