Although the member interviewed tried to hide his identity, he failed to do so, but if no one else has guessed it, well, and good, I will hot give him away; at the same time I must say he is a player whose experience would be of value at Fanling, and I hope the Committee will take note of what he said. It gives one a shock at frat when one reads that he thinks some of our greens are on the sinall side, but there is a good deal in what he says Personally I think the greens" are too large. What he is really getting at is the approach to the green, in some in stances, and it would have been better if he had suggested the improvement to the approach rather than suggesting the enlargement to the greens.
