Fanling is pleasantly busy these days with competitions and caps of various sorts, and no one need be idle unless he wishes to be. The most pressing need at present is, of course, the New Year Meeting, in which the bogey competition seems to be gaining as much popularity as ever The results will probably be rather better than in the Christmas meeting Inst week, for though up was certainly s good return and well deserved to win, it is not very creditable that out of the remaining 89 attempts, only one managed to beat bogey and one other to end all square. It is 10.00 all wrong too that the medal .com.

The entries and the draw for the Humphreys Foursomes, which was published some days ago, raise quite a number of interesting points. One of the most interesting things in any of these handicap events is to see it the good players can manage to give the odds to their less powerful opponents, and they generally fail to do it before the contract. end. Under such circumstances guessing the winner is rather a dif ficult game, for the long handicap. couples have generally rather väri- able qualities. In the top half of the draw, if everything goes accord- ing to plan, Marton and N. L. Smith should be a very difficult pair to beat if they are on their joint game, a thing which is not unlikely to occur. They are the bark markers and will have to give a whole packet of shots to egne pairs, but it is hard. to pick any couple in the top half who will beat them..

There are more of the low handi. cap pairs in the second half of the draw, and anything might happen there. Andrewes and Stewart, with a joint handicap of 8, are probably the best-balanced couple in for the cup, while Ferguson and Bennett or Shewan and Lawrence might easily be unbeatable. On the other hand they are all going to be up against it if they strike some well chocen pair with a bandicap of 30 or so when they are on their game, and the putts are dropping.

With Fanling as hard and slippery as it is at present, a stiffish cross wind would have devastating effect upon all but the most ac- curate. There have been occasional hints that the wind was going to freshen a little during the last few days, but apparently they have come to nothing and the only places where the breeze has been notice. able have been for the second shot to the 13th, which has needed a much bigger shot than usual, and soine- times the tee shot to the 18th. After playing almost exclusively at Fanling, the knack of dealing with a wind with any sort of certainty is very soon lost, and the sudden advent of one would set most play- ers searching in all sorts of unex- plored corners of the course. As for the greens, one shudders to think how difficult they might become.

Over the week-end the new back tee at Sandy's, Pulpit was out of commission, and the discs were back on the old tee again. It was only necessary to play from the short tee after a week or two of the other to realise how great an im- provement the new tee is.

From the forward position all sort of com paratively ill-struck shots seemed to finish on or round the green, while from. 20 or 30 yards back only the really fine shot gave one any. thing but a very lucky chance for a 3. The hole will always be a fairly easy if one cuts out all hopes of 3 and merely concentrates on putting a tee shot steadily down the middle, but there are not many people who are content to do that, From the back tee a long shot which is not hit quite truly finds trouble to left or right and the next shot is at least partially-blind, while the same shot from the nearer tee will as often as not carry beyond the. trouble, and "merely finish to the side of the green. But though the new tes has rather 'spoilt one for the other, the teg itself is as yet. by no means porfect. The turf is.. poor at present and the whole tes seems to slope, downwards alightly from back to front. In addition to this the left hanil corner has sunk rather badly, and will have to be filled in later in the year, when the opportunity comes..
