Golf at Fabling just now, saving the question of missed putts, the type of bogey that is always with us, is about as pleasant as it could be. The course, like the garden, is looking its best and is playing wonderfully well, the temperature is just right, and lately there has been sufficient breeze to things interesting. Even the com. paratively gentle breezes that are tremendous common here have a effect on a shot if no allowance is made for them, while drives down wind sometimes travel rather sur prising distances, so that one is alternately flattered and driven to course of a thought during the round. Lies through the green are still not perfect, and presumably will not be at least for years to come, for the ground is so hard that every divot taken leaves it mark for months afterwards, but it is surprising how rarely the ball ties badly as long as it is hit down the middle.

One of the most controversial points about the Old Course at present is the long tee at the 7th. To some people the thing is prob ably an unmitigated nuisance and they are only too glad to see the teo moved forward again to its old place. But the other side of the question is that there are a num- ber of players who like to squeeze the last ounce of dificulty out of their rounds at Fanling, and would be only too happy always to play from the back of every back tee: From the forward tee, unless con- ditions are exceptional, it needs a
