Difficult Conditions For Golf In Macao

Fairways And Sand Greens In

Very Poor Shape

Macao Governor Interested

(By "Birdie")

WEEK-END VISIT was made to Macao on Sunday, and though an enjoyable day was spent, golf suffered terribly through the poor conditions of the course. It is, as it were, still in the rough, and the most imperative improvements should be the cutting of the grass on the fairways and the softening of the greens.

Buddy Baer Beats Galento

On T.K.0.

Tony Claims Broken Fist

WASHINGTON, May.—— Buddy Baer, young Californ ian, was awarded a sixth- round technical knockout over Tony Galento, last month when the New Jersey tavern-keeper's handlers claimed Tony broke his hand and was unable to continue. Tony had been taking a bad

The greens are of clay and not even the thin loose surface of sand can, temper the penalties for pitching thereon. In its present condition the course is a very "sporty" one, though a local ruling makes one's shot al- beating after the first round of Ying College representative receiving championship award for

ways playable provided one is on the fairway.

This ruling is that on the fair-

way to the green it is permitted Major Baseball

to tee up the ball-from outside the fairway one must play the ball where it lies.

In this respect the course is very playable, though the length of the grass on the fairways provides fifty-fly chance of losing the ball

At the moment, however, there ure difficulties in the way of im- provements Umt must be appreciated. Firstly, the course is in the process of being drained and conditions underfoot are being made more comfortable.

As with the Country Club nt Sheungshui, the clayed nature of the soil nt Macao holds the rainwater for an unbelievably long time. But, the work of drainage in under way

Until this is done, the levelling of various parts cannot be attended to, nor can the grass be cut except by hand until the course is leveiled.

But on the approaches to the greens, I think, the effort should be made, even by hand, for the Kreens themselves are very small. and it requires great accuracy to plich on them. And when one pitches it is practically impossible

Photographers jumped into the ring and Baer raced between a battery of coineras as the bell rang for the seventh.

Lafond declared Baer the winner when Tony's handlers insisted on removing the glove.

Of course, the sun has been do- ing its share of the damage during the past two or three weeks, for there has been no rain and they have been steadily baked harder and harder.

The only thing that can be done to then now is to have them dug up again. There is

of water plenty available, for the main obstacle on the course is a great pond in the centre. This is about 5 feet deep near the edges and much more in the centre, and it is quite full. Use should be made of it to keep the greens in a constantly wet condition (after they have been dug).

I stood by on Sunday and watched one player put five consecutive balls into the middle of this pond, while a small host of boys splashed around like performing seals and dived to And them.
