Mr. W. C. Lyle, who many Hong Kong golfers will remember, has issued a challenge through "Singapore Free Press" Anonymous writer who signs him-- self Colonel Bogey." Part of the challenge reads ----

I Invite him to drop his "nom de piume," meet me at the Adelphi Hotel, and arrange a match for the Bukit Timah Golf Course, in which I shall be pleased to give him his Club handicap and bet him a couple of dozen balls on every hole.
