Eighteenth Hole Near Completed: Interesting- Final At Fanling

(By "Birdie")

IT HAS BEEN almost two years since I was down at Shek-O, and on going to Camp last week I noticed for the first time the additions there have been to the Shek-O Country Club course. remember when last there that certain construc- tion work was in progress on the lower ground below the Club-House, and since then eight new holos have been laid out, making a total of 17, with the 18th hole almost near completion.

This last hole should be finished and ready for play carly next year, and the Shek-O Club can then boast of the only 18-hole Course on the Island.

A passing glance gives the impression of shortness and narrownes8 of fairways, but

actually this is not the case. Owing to certain limitations, of course, there are, relatively,

more short holes there than on Cotton Continues

-most other courses in either Hongkong ог Kowloon. In yardage, however, the original nine holes on the elevated site compares somewhat with the Kowloon Golf Club course, while! being altunted as it is, mid-way be- tween Shek-O beach and Big Wave Bay, It is on a really lovely site, und commands a very fine view.

The new holes, however, are noti O new, as I believe they have beeni In use for some time now, but with the completion of the 18th hole thei Shek-O Club will be the second i Club here able to boast of un 10- hole course.

Though it is probably more well- known as a golf Club, tennis and clay-pigeon shooting also occupy the attention of its members.

Charity Games

LONDON-Henry Collon was twice on the winning side when he ceniluped his series of matches in ald of Red Cross Funds at the Royal Burgess Course, Barnton,

In the first of two four-bail" matches. Cotton, partnered by Hugh Watt, the local professional, beat James Adams (Royai Liver- pool) and Jack McLean (Buchana Castle) by 3 and 2.

Laier, Cotton and McLean beat Adams and Wait by 2 and 1, thanks chiefly to the brillant put- ting of McLean, a former Scottish amateur champion.

The day's play enabled well over £400 to be raised, and the total proceeds so far are in the £2,000. Our
