Apart from the increased nam- ber of players on the links, great. activity prevails at the clubs, where officials are extremely war- ried over the difficulty of obtain ing the services of men who understand green-keeping. Ex- cept Dollymount, Princes, Deal, and Sandwich, none of the famous courses have suffered damage. The two former courses have been!

in military occupation, and at Deal six of the holes were covered
