THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND
When Mr. J. Thurburn left the colony he presented an extremely handsome Bowl to be competed for by members during the summer months of 1896. He placed certain restric- tions on the handicaps allowed, that is to say, he considered that no one should receive more than a stroke a hole from a scratch player. This was a very sound reservation, as no one who can hold a club fairly well should ever receive more than 18 strokes in an 18 hole round. In this competition, which has been going on since July 1st (the peculiarity of golf in Hongkong being that it always takes a month or more to play off a tournament), the matches have, in most cases, borne out the al- lowance of handicaps fairly well. One member, however, has upset the calculations of the handicapper in a desperate manner. When the competition commenced his play was most indifferent, quite worthy of a 24 handicap, but since then by constant practice and trouble he has improved in such a manner that now he stands at 8 and bids fair to go a few better during the month. It is to be hoped he will, as no one is more worthy than the player who improves his game by sheer hard practice.
The course is in fair order generally speaking, but it is a trying soil to have anything to do with; the grass is a mixture of “pig's bristles and sword blades; " it defies soyth and mowing machine and almost breaks the heart of any one who has to battle with it. But still con- stant mowing has some effect and if this is kept up and the hurdle hazards kept in repair, golf in Hongkong should be as good as anywhere in the East. Mr. Vallings is to be heartily congratulated on winning such an extremely handsome prize, which becomes his absolute property.
The final was a magnificent match. Mr. Hume gained the advantage at the beginning and at one time stood 4 up and 6 to play, but he could not hold Mr. Vallings, to whom he had to give soh odds. Both men played very well, some of their approaches being magnificent.
