Double Programme: Men Playing At Sheungshiu: Women At Kowloon

(By "Birdio")

Courses

Kowloon

THE FIRST of what is hoped will be annual or bi-annual fixtures-golf matches between the Country Club, Sheungshiu, and the Kowloon Golf Club-will take place this Sunday. It takes the form of a "double" for the men will be playing at Sheungshiu and the women at Kowloon.

Kowloon have raised a pretty formidable side, and on handicap figures should have better of their hosts, but offsetting this is the fact that Country Club players are at home and are far more familiar with the sand greens there.

It is because of this that the Coontry Club is looking forward keenly to the match, and, despite their opponents' strength, not without a little confidence. What with the sand greens, and the strangeness of the course, I should estimate that the Kow- loon players will find it difficult to play to within four above their handicaps. Their highest men are 10.

The course is

rather hard and flery at the moment, though the re- cent rala has done something towards oftening it. Water, too, has made the

and greens softer and playable again.

The men's match commences with the singles in the morning and the fourbalis after lunch. The women, at Kowloon, are also ten-a-side and are playing in the afternoon only. the rific ranges being in use during

morning.

THERE are only two local rules

that should be made known to the visitors, and the first of these is that flat rubber soled shoes are to be worn on the greens. The reason for this is obviously that studs or spikes would soon make the greens un- playable for the players folow- ing.
