Around The Courses Kowloon Golfers Appreciate Country Club Course

Sand Greens Presented

No Obstacles: Match To Be Duplicated

(By "Birdie")

BRILLIANT WEATHER at Shoungshiu on Sunday contributed to make the. Country Club- Kowloon golf match one of the most pleasant functions at the New Territories' Club. The sand greens presented little difficulty to the Kowloon players, in fact, they were not quite as fast as was anticipated.

It was altogether a genial day, and the score, as was men- tioned at the end of the day, was of no consequence, There were only seven of the 18 matches in which byes were played, and the Country Club won three of those seven.

The complete scores were:

A. W. Ramsey bent A. J. Dennis 4 and 3

A. A. Lopes beat W. V. Ahern 5 and 4

R. E. Lee lost to E. F. Fincher 5 and 3

F. E. A. Remedios und R. K. Collings all square

Unparalleled Feat In Championship Golf

AT NEWCASTLE, Co. Down, In the 30-holes final of the. 1933 Irish Open golf championship, Erlo Fiddlan, an English champion, twice holed out in one against Jack McLean,

In the first round Fiddlan holed ice shot at the seventh hole (128 yards) and in the second round repeated the performance at the 14th hole (205 yards),

This feat is unparalleled in a championship match,

The Board for Two Players

Two Bridge players can use the DUO-BRIDGE Board anywhere and at any time: there is no need to go out to the Club on these black nights.

You will enjoy it in any situation, because it is the very best Bridge game for two people yet inverted.

Let us admit at once that there are certain technical difficulties which cannot be overcome: We are well aware of them but they do not affect the character of the game In any way. Neither player sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play.

It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, indeed the hands have been very carefully slected.
