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- over, 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.

These inter-Club matches do quite some good for the various

Clubs in the Colony no matter Kowloon-Valley what the game. This can be said for golf, though it is a more "selfish" game in that outside competition is not so essential..

As regards improvement la players, I heard one or two very good sug Kestions recently. One of these was mentioned in a contemporary paper last week, I think, and it concerned the teeing up of the ball fur shola off the fairways if the ground is not At for proper play.

But the better suggestion was one to make people piny to the correct fairway, Rough is usually the penalty for a slice or a bad hook, but on courses such as those of Happy Valley, Kowloon and the Country Club, where space does not allow a lavish luy-out for the fairways, these must run close together, and it is for such courses that the suggestion was made.
