COMPETITIONS

S. V. Gittins Wins Junior Championship: Draw For The Senior Title

(By "Birdio")

COMPETITIONS are in full swing at the Country Club, Sheungshui. The Junior Cham- pionship, the final of which was played last Sun- day, resulted in a 3 and 2 win for S. V. Gittins over George, Loe, played over 26 holes. The women's Championship has reached the somi- finals, and the coming Sunday sees the first round proper of the Captain's Cup. The draw is also an- nounced for the first round of the Senior Cham- pionship.

Sunshine for December has been a record. Golfers could not ask for better weather, but it has its drawbacks. The Course is hard and fiery, and more than ever is it difficult to stay on the greens.

S. V. Gitting' score up to the 34th hole was 43, 47, 47 and 85172; Lee's score was 50, 47. 45 and 37179. These figures, considering handicaps and the state of the Course, are remark ably good. Gitting was four up at the end of the first 18 holes, and Lee reduced the lead to three at the end of 27. Winning the first two holes of the last nine, Lee was then only one down. They halved the thirtieth, but the 31st and 32nd was disastrous, for Lee, and Gittins regained his lead of three.

They halved the 33rd, making Gitting dermic three, and with an- other half on the next, Gittins won 3 and 2. It was a keen, close and enjoyable match.

In any one, there is no doubt about the Welsh Union felling in with the English Union's decisión,
