THE DUFFER'S CUP.
This competition, which is to be a half yearly event, was concluded on the 28th May and re- sulted in in a victory for Major Thomas. The Duffer's Cup was instituted with the intention of bringing the long handicap men out of their shells and encouraging them to play and thereby im- prove their game. That this idea has been ful- Alled is very evident; the play has improved very considerably, many of the rounds played being quite up to the standard of the first players of the club. Several of the "Duffers" will be missed at the next Cup competition, as they will have risen to the level of those who do not call them- selves duffers; but it is to be hoped that even more of those members whose handicaps range from 18 to 24 will come forward on the next occasion. Amongst those whose play is deserving of praise are Mr. C. W. May, Mr. Morriss, Major Thomas, Mr. Badeley, and one or two others, but to mention more names would be indiscreet, as it would draw attention to the fact that the Committee have their handicapping eye on them.
Major Thomas is to be heartily congratulated on winning the Cup, and we hope that the next competition will be as interesting and improv-| ing to play as this has been.
The final match resulted in a grand tussle between Major Thomas and Mr. Morriss. Mr. Morriss finished the first 9 holes 1 пр,
and then added another hole to his credit, but Major Thomas got the game "all even "at the 16th hole and again at the 18th hole. The pair had to proceed to the 20th hole before the match was decided.
