GOLF NOTES.

[Br.E.HE]

Saturday was.

far from an ideal day for golf, but, considering-the conditions, quite a number went out to Fanling and played bravely round in the torrential rain which fell all through the afternoon. The only thing which made this pessible was the amazing power of recovers, which the Old Course possesses, for many of the greena were under water at times, but they became playable again as soon" na the rain moderated for few minutes. Naturally it was not particularly pleasant to play in such conditions. and scores became immense, but there can be very few courses where play would have been possible at

all under such circumstances.

But if the rain spoilt Saturday's golf, it at least made conditions nearly perfect for the following day. Of course, shots did not go | a prodigious distance for the air. was heavy and the fairways very damp, but the were eas;

Actually I suppose a medal round is the finest test of Mademoiselle and all you dears - intelligent golf there is, but it calls for rather more disciplined play than one is quite willing to attempt. Bogey play necessitates the 'do or die recovery at many times, and the worst that can happen as a result is one bole last, but it is very rarely that the super shot is worth attempting in stroke play if it can be converted into two safe ones, It is a perfectly natural tendency for anyone to try difficult shots, just to see what happens, especially when, as in bogey play, one knows the penalty of failure. In stroke play the penalty may be anything and the walisation is bound to affect, con- fidence to some extent. From the point of view of getting the largest

number of entries the committea. were certainly wise to arrange that the St. John of Jerusalem Trophy, which is running continuously all through this month, should be play ed for against bogey.

There is a comforting feeling in being at the beginning of a new golf year, with a full programma of matches, competitions and cups on the list of future events. Whe ther one actually plays in them or not the judging of the form of competitors and their actual per- formance on the day can always give one a certain amount of amuse. ment.

For over 130 years, from the foundation of the little colony by a group of mutineers, who' were marooned, there in 1790 under the leadership of John Adams, until recently, the islandars bave had to watch day after day the ships anil or steam past their home without having any means of communica tion except on the rare occasions when some friendly or storm- baffetted vessel halted for a short time. With the coming of wireless, and its general adoption on ocean- going vessels, some of the enter prising Islanders as a means of breaking down their extreme isola- tion. A little group of Pitcairn men began laboriously to learn the Morse code, picking it up from books with the aid of Morse keys and buzzers lent or given to them by the Marconi operators aboard the ships that called.

In order to do this it was necessary for one of their number to qualify as a wireless operator, and Mr. McCoy, one of Pitcaira's leading wireless enthusiasts, .set out on the 3,000 milda journey to New Zealand, the nearest point of civilisation where he could study and sit for his examination.
