Suggestions For Improvement

Holes In One At Fanling: President v. Captain's Match At Sheungshui

(By "Birdie")

THE RESULT of the Country Club-Kowloon match was according to book, though the margin was a little bigger than was anticipated. How- ever, a good time was had by all.

Kowloon are now ready to play another of their matches with Happy Valley, this to be on Good Friday at Kowloon. The Valley side has been chosen, but (at the time of writing) the Mainland team is not yet com- plete.

World's record for the longest hole- in-one is 374 yards, and this was done by so-so player named Frank Mellus at the Los Angeles Country Club, California, in 1932. He was assisted by a

Record at Home is a shot of 340 yards by George Kirby at Stoneham, Southampton In 1928. And there are only three other recorded instances of holes-in-one being more than 300

yards.

When I said the record was 374 yards. 1 was referring to a ball hit by a'humun being. A golf ball driv ing machine at Columbus County Club, Ohio, in 1937, was testing balls and drove 428-yarder which ended in the cup!
