Around The Courses

NEW YEAR AT THE COUNTRY CLUB

Vandals On Horseback: Collecting Money For The British Red Cross

NA

(By "Birdio")

ONE COULD NOT HAVE WISHED for finer weather than that of the New Year holidays. The course at Sheungshiu looked very fine under the brilliant sun, but its lovely surface was the cover- ing of a hard and sub baked soil. Puffs of "smoke” signalled where the ball had fallen. A little extra covering of sand on the greens, however, made them quite playable.

In weather such as this it is difficult keeping the course in good playing condition, and I can assure the two "sportsmen" on horseback who galloped over the course on New Year's day from one end to the other that the Club does not need their efforts to till the soil. Unfortunately, the course had only a few players 'thercon, and these two "gentlemen" were out of range of both voice and ball.
