The proposed layout of the GI- tension to the new course is now practically settled. A plasticene model has been prepared and this. together with some photographs taken from the air, will be on view at Fanling during the Easter holi- days.

2,400 Yards la 8 Tee Shots! These mighty bits occurred in one round recently at the Mote Mount Course near Mill Hill:-300 yards a shot and all with long carries, one of over 200 yards.

It is a striking fact that drives of 300 yards have never, or hardly ever, been made in long-driving competitions. In these events care is always taken that conditions are Buch to constitute a real driving test without the fight and run being assisted by high winds and sud- baked fairways.

The longest drive recorded in special competition is, I believe, one of 200 yards, 10 inches, by Mr. C. J. H. Falley, who is unsurpassed na a consistently long driver.

Apart from competitions, there is n quarter mile drive on record at Herne Bay but' in this case there was a drop of 57 feet on the way.
