THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, JUNE 19th, 1928.

Some good play was witnessed in. which the preliminary round, furnished a few surprises. There was only one walk-over, this being tee shot. At the 11th for instance there were only two ways of miss. conceded to T. Magill by E. ing the dust, unless one county also Lammeri owing to the exigencies of missing the shot. One was to play business. The games between. Laps well out to the right, almost parnley and Russell, Whyte and Far lel with the 10th fairway, but this rell, A. Macfarlane and Bradbury, left one such an impossibly long and Johnston and Henderson were distance from the green that it was barely worth doing. The other was to have a bit of a joy shot, and hope to find the 12th green. or at least something fairly rea sonable round abou; 'there. This shot was much more fun to plan than to play, as it always finished in some incredible place in amoog the trees. When all is said nod done, the best plan was to hit the ball straight, with as much carry as possible. Once pitched it stopped dead, and the second shot had to be very accurately struck if it was going to be any age, at all, but there was not really much else to be done.

"

Sandy's Pulpit was also rather puzzling, with dressing covering the complete slope up to the green. To the giants, if there were any. who could carry the full distance to the green, there was of courte only the question of stopping "the shot. The rest had to choose le- tween a long pitch from grass at the bottom of the slope, or a short one from the dust. In either case one had to pitch right up on the green, as no shot which hit the dust ever seemed to move again: | it paralysed a shot much more com- pletely even than the ploughed feld stuff we have been playing over "for the last week or two.

Apart from everything else, and really more potent, was the mental hazard side of the question. Hav. ing made up one's mind alter due consideration exactly what shot would have the least unpleasant results, it abould have been per lectly easy to play the thing. Yet one looked and sliced into bunkers even more viciously than when one had a full shot for the green.

Those who adopted the policy of playing short had even more de- vastating results. When one is used to playing a full shot from "some tee, it is astonishing how diffi- cult it is to play a shorter shot rea- sonably. Either one spares it quite absurdly, and puts it into trouble almost at one's toes, or else gives it too much, and just reaches exact- what one meant to avoid. Either is about enough to made one want to give up the game,
