Difficult Conditions For

Fairways And Sand

Very Poor Shape

Macao Governor Interested

(By "Birdio");

A 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.

Tony Claims Broken Fist

WASHINGTON, May. Buddy Baer, young Californ jan, 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 fight, scheduled for 10. One of his handlers cut the tape on Tony's left glove during the in- termission following the sixth. Referee Eddie Lafond ran to Galento's corner and ordered Tony not to remove the mitt.

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 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 u fifty-fifty chance of losing the ball!

At the moment, however, there are difficulties in the way of im provements that must be appreciated. Firstly, the course is in the process of being drained and conditions underfool nrc being maile more comfortable.

As with the Country Club al Sheungshul, the clayed nature of the soll at Macno holds the rainwater for an unbelievably long time. But the work of drainage in under way at the moment.

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 levelled,

But on the approaches to the greens, I think, the effort should be made, even by hand, for the greens themselves are very small, and It requires great accuracy to pitch on them. And when one pitches it is practically impossible to stay there. The only other wAY

These improvements would work wonders with the course, and being pleasantly situated away from the town the Club would become one of the main sports features of the Portuguese Colony. It is something that is worth the work that will be necessary.
