HAVERS POINTS OUT FAULTS

Arthur Havers, former British Open Champion, points oul‘someof the very common errors in golf as follows : / A stiff position with the body and legs during the stance and swing 2. Starting the club down before it has been steadied at the parallel position at the top of the swing. 3 Throwing the arms and wrists out too quickly in the down-swing, a very common fault, thus beginning the hit long before reaching the ball 4 Turning too quickly from the hips, coming down, thus causing the arms and hands to cross the intended direction and thereby getting only about half the power behindthe ball 5. Moving head and body forward before the club head gets near the ball. All the power from the right side of the body is lost in this way 6 Remaining on the right side of the foot too long when coming down This prevents the previous weight of the body from coming into the shot

The Royal In connection with the Annual Meeting in Montreal this Canadian Golf month, it is rather interesting to note that the Royal Can- Association adian Golf Association is not by any means a young institu. Has tion. It was founded in 1896, or 32 years ago, which as golf Functioned goes in America, is quite a long time. The first President Successfully was the late Sir George Drummond, of Montreal, Other for 32 Years prominent men who have oceupied the chair are the late Lt Col. Sweny, of Toronto; the late P. D. Crerar, of Hamilton ; the late D. R. Wilkie, Toronto; the late Fayette Brown, Montreal; Sir George Perley, Ottawa; P. D. Ross, Ottawa; A. W. Austin, Toronto; Dr. Ruttan, Montreal; A. H.

C., Tor- onto, and W. W. Walker, Montreal. The Association has never lacked a prominent and able Mxeeutive at its head. The first amateur champion of Canada was Mr. T. H. Harley, Kingston, Ont. Rather strange to relate, nothing much really seems to be known about this initial holder of the title, either before or after he acquired it. Many years ago, he went from Kingston to the States and rumour, and only rumour, has it that he took up golf professionally there, It seems rather too bad that Canada’s first amateur golf champion has sunk into oblivion. In the historical and other interests of the game even at this late date, it would certainly be most interesting if some relative or former friend, could ring up the curtain 807 808 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 13, No. 11 andlet us know something about Harveyandhis career after 1895, or for that matter, before that year. The Editor of the “Canadian Golfer” for his records, is particularly desirous of securing this information.

Municipal The City Parks Department of London, Ont., will spend Golf Courses. $14,000 this summer on improvements and operation of the London’s Civie Golf Course at Spring Bank, but the ratepayers will Fine Record not be called upon to contribute a penny. The entire amount will be covered by the surplus from last year and the membership and green fees which will be collected this year. The expenditure will include $7,646 to complete a footbridge over the river Thames from Spring Bank Park to the golf course, which will be a great boon to the users of the links. In the four years in which the London Civie Course has been in operation all capital and operating expenses have been paid off from memberships and fees and the City has nowan 80-acre addition of magnificent park property at no expense to the taxpayers, And only four years ago, with more orless fear and trembling, the London authorities inaugurated this Publie Course. “Golf for the Masses” in the Forest City as elsewhere, has been an unqualified success, financially and otherwise. Doubting cities, which have not yet provided citizens with facilities for Public Golf, please take notice and ponder over what London has accomplishedin such a brief period.

Golf Clubs in What promises to be an interesting development in golf in Future Will the future is the utilization of courses as landing fields for Provide airplanes. This is more than a visionary possibility. It is a Airplane practical idea andis not far from realization. Several U.S. Fields yolf Clubs are even now carrying on investigations. Near Detroit a landing field is being constructed in connection with the new Grosse Isle Golf Club and has been scheduled as a landing port. Practically all clubs have extra land, after the course is built. It can usually be cleaned, marked and kept mownat little expense. We must get used to the thought that golfers will soon have their own planes and theywill fly to and from golf. A landing field at a goJf course, not so many years from now, will be as necessary as a parking space forcars to-day. Since the above wasin type, word has just come from the Erie Downs Golf Club, Bridgeburg, Ontario, that it is planned to provide for a landing field along the third fairway. To Erie Downs, therefore, goes the credit of being the first golf club in Canada to inaugurate such a project.

NEW CLUB HOUSE PROPHESIED FOR “LOOKOUT, POINTE R. M. A. GERMAN waselected President of the Lookout Point Golf and M Country Club at the annual meeting of the directors, held at Welland, and Mr. Emile Darte was elected Vice-President. The directors will investigate the possibility of erecting an up-to-date club house on the highest point, where a splendid view can be had of Lakes Erie and Ontario. It is expected that the first unit, the locker rooms, will be constructed this season. “Lookout Point” is well named, as from the highest point where it is proposed to erect an up-to-date club house, there is to be had one of the finest views in Ontario. At present the old farm house on the property is being used as a club house. It is comfortably fitted up, but is outgrowing the requirements of the members and the many Buffalo and other visitors who every season play over this wonderfully fine course which provides one of the hardest tests of good golf in Canada. o eee > M g s s m C e G o a a O a a w E A t t a c t s s g 7 w m j f h w t p t i a o o o n d i a e n h r . i x u a a a x n h n r d n a a o a v r d i o tt r m 3 s t e d e r t p i r i d d n m g m e m n a f c m u e 0 p e H t g i a t e e h e c n a i s a n e i e r ‘ h e ‘ p t ‘ e e e e i b t rr ( d r n , r “ l h A e t r r * t * M a , d t M M ¢ h s I a g x r s ee s T t s i d d h G a O .

* sd * British Columbia, favoured of the golfing gods as regards weather conditions, always stages the first of the Canadian Championships. The honour goes this year to the women of B. C., who will play over the Jericho Country Club course, Vancouver, the week of April 6th for the Provincial title. The present holder of the Championship is Miss Sayward, of the Colwood Golf and Country Club, a member of a particularly well known Victoria golfing family, who defeated Mrs. Harold Hutchings, of Winnipeg, a former Close Champion of Canada and an Internationally known golfer, on the 19th hole after a most thrilling match. The indieations are for a record field next month, including many well knownplayers.

% Ld * Showing the wonderful vogue of Municipal golf in the States, the-figures recently issued for the Seattle Public Links are alike convineing and illumin- ating. During 1927 the number of games played was 178,863, and the receipts totalled $62,000. There is not a private course in Canada which can boast of such an annual revenue from golf alone. One or two clubs in this country equal and possibly exceed these figures, but that is including entrance and member fees which bull very large indeed, in all annual reports of the leading clubs. Anyone who a few years ago, would have dared to prophesy such figures for a Municipal Golf Course, as those registered by Seattle in 1927 would have been thought a fit and proper person for a Lunatic Asylum, ** % The discussion on a changeof the golf ball in 1929 still goes merrily on in Great Britain, as well as in the United States, where “Bobby” Jones heads the advocates for a lighter ball. Sir Ernest Holderness, twice British amateur champion, while not entirely in agreement with Jones, admits to holding the opinion that a larger and lighter ball would better the game. Such a ball, he believes, would require greater skiJ] on the part of the player, and would also remedy to an appreciable extent the existing advantages of a long driver over a short driver. Harry Vardon, six times Open Champion and a memberof the “oreat triumvirate,” summed up his opinion with the statement that the golfer and not the ball, should make the stroke. Now, it seems, the ball does the thing which the golfer ought to do. A standardized ball, preferably one which reduces the length of the drive, would, in his opinion, improve the game.

MISSISSAUGA WILL BRING COURSE UP TO CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBRE LARGE turnout of the members of Mississauga Golf Clab, Toronto, met at a special meeting in the Prince George Hotel on the 6th inst., to further consider the suggested changes to the course. The President, Mr. Jess Applegath, in presenting the proposals of the Board, stated that in pursuance of instructions given at the annual meeting they had obtained several tenders and specifications, which had been divided into twodistinet plans, Plan A covered proposed new work, namely, the extension of the present 14th across the river, which, after elimination of the present 8th hole, will be known as the new 13th. A newshort hole to take the place of the 8th will be known as the new 14th. The present 15th will be re-arranged with tees also located across the river. March, 1928 CANADIAN GOLFER

Plan B, referred to proposed alterations to the balance of the course chiefly consisting of re-bunkering and the improvement of fairways, ete. The Board, however, after considering the matter very seriously, had decided to recommendthat Plan A be proceeded with for the present, and that Plan B, be shelved until a future date. Chairman of the Green Committee, Mr. Frank Harris, thereupon placed the specifications and tenders before the meeting, and Mr. George Merson explained the Board’s proposals regarding finance. Adverse discussion was noticeably absent, and when the matter was put to a vote not only did the members enthusiastically sanction the Board’s recommendations, but they went one step further and proceeded to authorize the changes incorporated in Plan B. It was a remarkable display of confidence in the new Board and atribute to the popularity and painstaking methods of the President, Mr. Applegath. The sum total of this work will be to make Mississauga one of the best tests of golf in the Dominion, and to raise it to championship calibre. The total yardage will be increased to over 6,500 yards and in the new 13th and 14th, Mississauga will have two holes, which will be quite uniquein the realms of golf. The work will be started immediately and completed before the end of the approaching season.

AL. ESPINOSA WINS FLORIDA CHAMPIONSHIP A L ESPINOSA, of Chicago, Illinois professional golf champion, won the Florida West Coast open tournament at Belleair, Fla., with a 72-hole total of 282 for four rounds over the Belleair Country Club courses. Maedonald Smith, of New York, starting the final thirty-six holes seven shots behind Espinosa, picked up three strokes in the morning, when he played the No. 2 course in 67. On the final round over the No. 1 cirewit, Smith had a 71 and Espinosa 72, makingthe latter’s margin of victory three shots. Bobby Cruickshank, of New York, finished third with 287. Billy Burke, of New York, who was runner-up to Gil Nichols in this competition a year ago, was fourth with 288. By a brilliant 69 and 70 for his last two rounds, Gene Sarazen, former National Open Champion, came from thirteenth position to fifth. Harry Cooper, of Buffalo, totaled 291, placing sixth. ‘Tied for seventh were Tommy Armour, of Washington, National Open Champion, and Johnny Farrell, of NewYork. ; The prize money was split $600, $500, $400, $800, $200, $100, $100 and $100, with $50 for each of the next twelve places 815 816 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 13, No. 11

By his victory Espinosa, who had rounds of 65, 75, 70 and 72, also won a gold medal and earned a place for his name on the Plant Trophy, one of the oldest plates in professional golf in this part of the country. Smith, who made a determined bid for the title to-day, was the first Plant Trophy winner twelve years ago. Espinosa played steady golf all day except for hooked tee shots which put him three over par on the twelfth and thirteenth holes of the final round. Cruickshank, playing with the winner, had two par 4’s left to tie Smith for second, but he finished with 5s. Mae Smith went out in a brilliant 33 on the last round, but tee shot trouble put him over par on four holes on the home- comingnine.

GREAT BRITAIN VS. THE UNITED STATES y | YHUS “Golf Illustrated,” London: ‘‘The comparison of British and American players does not find us lagging so far behind as is often suggested. With a population three times greater and a game sweeping the country like a prairie fire, what has America produced in the way of Inter- national champions? Three in number—Mr. ‘‘Bobby’’ Jones, Mr. Jess Sweetser and Walter Hagen. She can, of course, claim her Hutchinsons, her Barnes’s, her Armours, her Cruickshanks, her Macdonald Smiths, and others if it is pleasing to her egregious national pride to do so, but no claim can alter the blood that flows through their veins. That the British craftsman is in himself still the master craftsman is proved by the inducements held out by America for his services; is proved again and again by American purchases of his products; is completely supported by the publie statements of her own sons that they cannot buy the same value for money in their own country. When we come downto the question of organization we have no hesitation in saying, and we have had experience of American organization in many forms, that America’s chief elaim to being the organizing genius of the worldlies in the fanfare of trumpets with which she heralds her claim. If golf organization means committees for dealing with amateur status, conduct, courses, finance, budgets, greens, implements, balls, international matters, publicity, to mention but a few; if all this is necessary for the pursuance of a game, then we have no organization, and let us thank God for it!

A BIG INTERNATIONAL GOLF COURSE The Links of the Richford Frontier Club Will Be Partly in Quebec and Partly in Vermont HE Richford Frontier Club, which is being constructed from plans and under the direction of Mr. Stanley Thompson, Toronto, is a very ambi- tious project indeed. In northern Vermont, where the friendly boundary between the United States and Canada finds its invisible way along the tops and through the silent wooded valleys of the Green Mountains, amidst fascinating scenery and bracing air, 950 acres have been acquiredfor rest and recreation purposes, 90 of which are in old Quebee under the flag of the British Empire, and the remainder under the Stars and Stripes. The location is historie and ideal, and is conveniently reachable by paved motor roads and by two railroads, the Central Vermont and the Canadian Pacifie. The pretty village of Richford, Vermont, half way between Lake Memph- remagog and Lake Champlain, and the quaint settlements of Abercorn and Knowlton, in Quebee are each about one mile distant. Over the fine paved road which here crosses the international boundary and finds its hospitable way like a white ribbon to Montreal, 75 miles further, 100,000 tourist auto- mobiles passed last year. Last year the golf course was laid out and seven holes have already been built, the balance of this first course (18 holes), will be rushed as soon as March, 1928 CANADIAN GOLFER 817

weather permits. With the ideal soil conditions, it is estimated that the course, (which is parlty in Quebee and partly in Vermont), will cost $100,000.00, but Mr. Thompson’s commission is to make it one of the finest in the country. A second course will be built when necessity demands. It is estimated that the interests behind the club expect to expend in the neighbourhood of $1,750,000 on the hotel, club, golf courses and other sporting facilities.

THE AMATEUR QUALIFICATIONS OF A GOLFER T the annual meeting of The Royal Canadian Golf Association in Montreal this month, virtually the only clause of the new Constitution and By- laws which came in for criticism was Section 11 of the By-laws, defining the status of an amateur golfer, which reads as follows: ‘11, An Amateur Golfer shall be a Golfer who has never made for sale golf clubs, balls, or any other article connected with the game as a business; who has never carried clubs for hire after attaining the age of fifteen years, and who has not carried clubs for hire at any time within six years of the date on which the competition begins; who has never received any consideration for playing in a match, or for giving lessons in the game; and who, for a period of five years prior to the first of September, 1886, has never received a money prize in any open competition.’’ After some discussion the incoming Executive was instructed to carefully consider this clause with the suggestion that the British ruling should be more closely followed. Herewith the Royal and Ancient ruling on this very important subject: ‘*7, An amateur golfer is one who, after attaining the age of 16 years, has not: A. Carried clubs for hire. B. Received any consideration, either directly or indirectly, for playing or for teaching the game, or playing in a match or tournament. C. Because of his skill as a golfer, received after 31st December, 1922, a salary or remuneration either directly or indirectly, from any firm dealing in goods relating to the playing of the game. D. Played for a money prize in any competition. Note. —The Championship Committee of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrewsshall have the right of declaring ineligible to compete in any amateur tournament under its jurisdiction any amateur who, in its opinion, has received any consideration because of his skill at the game, or who has acted in a manner detrimental to the best interests or to the spirit of the game. The acceptance without payment of golf balls, clubs, or golf merchandise will rendera player ineligible to compete in the Amateur Championship. In April, 1923, the Championship Committee of the Royal ana Ancient Golf Club issued the following statement: ‘‘A firm of golf ball makers has inquired if the ‘note’ to the definition of an amateur golfer is intended to prevent makers from sending to prominent amateurs samples of any new golf balls for testing purposes, ‘The firm has been informed that the ‘note’ is not intended to affect the status of amateur golfers who accept samples of balls for testing purposes, but that, in any case, not more than two golf balls should be sent, and those balls must in every case be clearly marked with the word ‘sample.’’ ’’ HAMILTON GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB Leading Ontario Golfing Organization Was Very Muchto the “Fore” in 1927

Mr. Moodie, in his ad dress, said that the club has experi enced a long and successful golf sea son. The course had been open for play on Good Friday, April 15, and play had been continued well into December. He made mention of the Canadian Amateur Championship, which had been decided at Ancaster last July, in which there had been a large entry, including many players from the United States. Many fine scores were recorded in this tourna ment, among which was Don Carrick’s 67, which broke the competitive record for the course John Lewis had previously on two occasions, ne gotiated the 18 holes in 67 strokes, but not in competition.

BANFF’S MAGNIFICENT NEW COURSE HEnewBanff Golf Course, which the Canadian Pacifie Railwayis building at Banff, Alberta, will, when finished in 1929, be one of the finest courses on the continent. Work is well under way, the greens all sown in Bent last year and it is hoped to plant the fairways and complete the bunker work by the end of June. Using some holes on the old course and some on the new, playing should be possible the coming July. A very unique feature of the course is that the players will proceed from the hotel by means of an elevator to the first tee. The course when completed will have cost tens of thousands of dollars. The Railway authorities are sparing no expense to make it one of the outstanding golfing properties of America. In the future it is planned to stage outstanding tournaments at Banff, whichis ‘‘on the roof of the worl d” with unmatched scenic surroundings. THE PEBBLE BEACH CHAMPIONSHIP Miss Marion Hollins for the Fifth Time Wins the Event, Defeating the U. S.

Were pion, on the 20th hole in the finals of she to resume tournament play, Miss Hollins would still be a leading con- a tender for national honours. Incidentally there was a bigger and better field on hand for this important annual Coast fixture than ever before in its history. The famous Pebble Beach course is now beingex- tensively prepared for the men’s national amateur championship in 1929, and although the work is being done in such a wayas not to interfere with a single day’s golf on a single one of its marvelous holes, it was decided to stage the women’s event on the interesting Dunes course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club— a decision which was heartily ap- plauded by the entrants, who promptly fell in love with this picturesque links. The largest and best behaved gallery that has ever followed a ladies match in the Del Monte sector trailed the Horn-Hollins contest. They were well rewarded, for every hole was a golf classic. Nine of them were halved, and all the rest were thrill- ingly close. It was Miss Hollins’ steady game—unshaken even when she was apparently defeated on the Miss Marion Hollins of New York (left), 18th after 18 holes of the stiffest kind and Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn, of Kansas of competition—that finally won for City, U.

GOLF IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Penticton Golf Club Has a Very Successful Year.—The Officers Elected HE annual meeting of the shareholders of the Penticton Golf Club, Pen- ticton, B. C., was held at the Incola Hotel on Monday, Mareh5th. It was one of the best attended meetings that the club has enjoyed since it was organized. he reports of the various committees were received and the balance sheet presented. Although it does not show any great balance on hand, all obligations were fully met and the work on the course was carried out to the fullest extent of the money available. The directors were authorized to proceed with improving the road to enable cars to get right up to the club house. This will be a very great convenience and will be appreciated by the members, The course has wintered well and considering that the course is just enter- ing on its third year the members feel well pleased with the layout of the links and the work so far finished. Several improvements will be carried out the coming season as soon as weather permits. Play on the course should start in about the end of March. To stimulate the membership in the club, a motion was put into effect at this meeting to withdraw the entrance fees to the club until the end of May and a drive will be madeto increase the membership. A prize has been offered by one of the directors to the one bringing in the most new mmbers. The following directors were elected, G. A. B. Macdonald, Dr. H. Me- Gregor, C. W. Nicholl, W. X. Perkins and Thos. M. Syer. Thos. M. Syer was re-elected as Captain for the fifth year. Green Committee—C, W. Nicholl and Thos. M. Syer. Finance Committee—All of the direetors.

Mr. W. W. Walker, Montreal, President of the Association, occupied the chair. The meeting was a notable one on account of the presentation for adop- tion of a new Constitution and set of By-laws, which had been drawn up by a special committee appointed at the special meeting held in Toronto last January, and composed of Messrs, Alfred Collyer, Montreal; W. H. Plant, Toronto; Thomas Reid, Tor- onto, and W. W. Walker, Montreal. That this representative committee performed its duties in an exceptionally able manner was demonstrated by the fact that with hardly an exception every clause was adopted without eriticism or comment. It is a very much broader and better Constitution than the old one and should meet and undoubtedly will meet, with the approbation and support of golfers, both East and West. It was very fully explained by Mr. Plant, who has taken a particularly keen interest in the whole question, on behalf of the Committee. Major W. D.

SCARBORO ELECTS ITS PRESIDING OFFICERS

HE members of Searboro Golf and Country. Club are looking forward to one of the most successful years in the history of the elub. At the first meeting of the Directors, held a short time ago, Mr. W. J. A. Carnahan, who has taken a very prominent part in Club and Sport activities in Toronto for a number of years, was elected Presi- dent of the Club for the 1928 Season. He is a very able Executive. Mr. C. E. Edmonds, President of the Christie Brown Co., was elected Vice-President. The Board of Directors elected at the last Annual Meeting, is composed of suecessful and prominent men, viz.: Messrs. V. H. Dennis, C. M. Jones, J. M. Lalor, J. G. Parker, H. G. Rateliffe, C. S. Robertson, O. B. Shortly, A. E. Hessin, E. Wheeler and H. T. Fairley. : | Searboro is situated about 12 miles from the centre of the City and is one of the beauty spots around Tor- Mr. W. J.eeCarnahan, ePrsomiDneennt iTeorronttonian, onto. The Golf; Course, whi: ch has been under reconstruction for the Jast few years, is now completed and ranks with the finest in the Dominion. Mr. A. W. Tillinghast, the well known New York Golf Architect, gave of his best in re-planning Scarboro, which to-day has some of the finest feature holes in Canada, and has a very large and enthusiastic membership.

“SHATTERING SCORES IN THE SIXTIES” AT NASSAU XCEPTIONALLYlow scoring marked the Bahamas Open Championships at Nassau last week, at which there was a great gathering of the leading professionals of the United States. There were several rounds in the “sixties,” showing what the experts can do on an ordinary golf course of 6,400 yards or so not trapped and bunkered to the eyebrows. With two sparkling 66’s for 182, Gene Sarazen, who seems to have got into his stride again this season (he was off a bit last year), tied for first place with Johnny Farrell, March, 1928 CANADIAN GOLFER 857 who had a 65 and a 67 for a similar total. In the play-off on the third extra hole, Sarazen won the Championship, but he had to sink a putt for a 2 to seore against Farrell, who had a par 8. On the second round Macdonald Smith, who has won in the neighbourhood of $7,000 this Winter in the big Southern

Tournaments, shattered all records when he carded a 64. In all there were ten ——— scores madein the sixties, ranging from 64 to 69, This surely must constitute a championship record for low scoring. “By large and small” Sarazen, Far - rell, Cruickshank, Macdonald Smith, Harry Cooper and Mehthorn, all of whom had one or more rounds better than seventy, made the Nassau course look lilce a joke—and it was to them

Bob Pinder, last year’s President, has just returned from Victoria, where he was stealing a march on the rest of us in an endeavour to get into good form. Quite a number of Saskatoon golf bugs have been at the West Coast this Winter. Bill Kinnear, Dean of Western professionals, and “boss” of our local club, is meantime at Victoria, in charge of a Saskatoon party. Cy.

Advice to hand says that “The fun is fast and furious, that we are playing rotten golf, but that the aftermaths are most enjoyable.” Weless fortunate ones who have had to stay at home (although we are “roaring to go’), and undaunted will challenge the sojourners at the Coast for the usual consideration when the time comes. Unfortunately the club is losing the services of Willie Ritchie, who has been Secretary for several years.

J. H. Taylor, five times British Open Champion, in a review of the coming championship season in Great Britain, is quite hopeful of the Old Country regaining its golf supremacy, largely thanks to the younger men. The old veteran writes: ‘“The Open Championship at Sandwich, in May, gives hope and encouragement to those of us who are out of the hunt, to realize that the younger men are keeping themselves in training by the sport of “*beagling’’ each other during the winter months, as shown by the many challenges which have been hurled around. It be tokens a keen sense of the advantages to be gained by personal combat, and restores that fighting spirit and desire for personal ascendancy which is the life-blood of com petition. It also endows the participant with the will-power to win, and imbues him with a directness of purpose which is the one spur to success. I really believe that the reason our pro fessionals are now showing such improved form is entirely the result of the acute com petitive spirit that has existed during the past few years. I detect no sign of apathy in their efforts. On the contrary, I feel that they were never more keen. It is universally recognized that the sole reason American professionals, and perhaps American amateurs, have wrested world honours from us is that all encouragement is given them to perfect their game through the medium of hotly contested competitions, ’ GOLF COATS * ” * Mr. Roger H.

BERMUDA AND ITS GOLF COURSES ISS ADA MACKENZIE, Toronto, Canadian Close Champion, who recently returned from a most successful golfing tour in the Bahamas and Bermuda, during the course of an interesting letter to the Editor, writes: ‘*We had a marvellous time in Nassau and Bermuda. The golf at Bermuda is really excellent, and it seems to be a regular Mecca for Canadians. I cannot imagine any nicer place to spend the winter. Everything under the sun to do and under ideal conditions. No rush and no hurry and such a delightful English atmosphere about everything. The flowers and birds make it more attractive than Nassau and then the golf courses are better. Nassau is much moretropical. Hotter, but the best bathing possible, but I do think the motors, which are very numerous, detract from the Island. The tournaments were excellent at both places—a wonderful field of players at Nassau, though the actual play was not as good as at Bermuda. If an invitation comes again from Bermuda, I am going to do mybest to get a real Canadian Team to go down there. They were awfully pleased at Helen Payson and myself going down there and couldn’t do enough for us. They gave us a wonderful time at both Nassau and Bermuda and it was a real experience and treat for me.’’ WITH THE PROFESSIONALS Several New Appointments of Interest Are Made This Month to Various Clubs in Canada—Over 200 Professionals in the Dominion

A VISIT FROM THE GOLFERS OF OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE COMBINEDteam of students from Oxford and Cambridge Universities, aX is planning to visit the United States during the coming season to engage in matches with the Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Cornell teams. It is stated that the team will also participate in several national tournaments whilst in the States. It would be an excellent idea’ if an effort was made also to get this team of cellegians to visit Canada. There are some very fine young golfers at these two leading English Universities and perhaps, needless to say, they are all very high class young Britishers. Both from a golfing standpoint and from the standpoint of “seeing Canada, ” an earnest effort should be made to induce the Oxonians and Cantabs to extend their tour to this country. A particularly interesting match would be that against a combined team of golfers from MeGill and Toronto University. Headed by the Amateur Cham- pion of Canada, Mr. Don Carrick, of Varsity, the Canadian Collegians should be able to give a good account of themselves against their English cousins, if such an encounter was arranged—andit ought to be.

He started the Davis Print ing Company in that city, afterwards, fourteen years ago, amalgamating with the Federal Press and forming the firm of Davis-Lisson Ltd.. of whieh he was President. He took a most active interest in its affairs until a short time ago, when illness confined him to the house. He was a Past Master of the Masonic Order and identified himself with other activities in his adopted city. ‘The funeral on March 5th was largely attended. The pall bearers were the oldest printers in the employ of the Davis-Lisson Co., Ltd To the bereaved widow and only son, Leonard, who is a member of the Davis-Lisson firm, the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in Hamilton and other cities will go ont in their hour of bereavement.

BRITISH SENIOR GOLFERS LOOKING FORWARD TO CANADIAN AND U.S. TRIP ROMa recent letter received, Colonel Francis Popham, D. S. O., The F Carlton Hotel, London, Honorary Secretary of the Senior Golfers’ Society of Great Britain, says there will be little difficulty in selecting a strong team of fifteen players to represent the Old Country in their return visit to Canada and the United States this year. Besides the team of fifteen members, manysterling players have signified their desire to join the party as substi- tutes, and camp followers, with the result that the genial and gallant Colonel may have a family of twenty or more underhis official chaperonage. Arrangements have been made for the party to sail August 15th from Southampton to Montreal per 8. S. Ascania. Mr. C. A. Bogert, President of the Canadian Seniors, will be in England in April, and as Mr. Frederick Snare, the American Captain, also expects to be there about that time, a conference will doubtless be held, and final arrangements for the forthcoming trip will be completed. It may be of interest to publish the names of the British Senior Golfers’ Society officials for the current year, which are as follows: President, The Earl of Balfour, K. G., P. C., O.

Report of Handicap ee Quebec Branch, C. L. G.

“In presenting my report for 1927, 1 take great pleasure in reviewing what I consider to be the most outstanding season in the history of our Branch. The year was marked by extraordinary improvement in the standard of golf throughout the district, very definitely illustrated by a tremendous number of reduced handicaps, and I have no hesitation in stating that this progress is undoubtedly a direct reflection of the increased activities of the Branech— particularly from the inauguration of Field oefHlanor Days. The Cup presented by the C. L. G. U. (to be competed for annually and to be won by and Cottages the player in the Province having the great- in beautiful Albemarle [Park est percentage of reduction in handicap), was this year well earned by Miss Margery Ashebille, $2.

The handsome cup which your President, Miss Kate Campbell, very generously do nated for team play between Bronze players over a period of three years, was won by Beaconsfield after keen eompetition from Summerlea and Rosemere. The C, L. G. U. Cup, which was donated for competition between bronze players from out-of-town clubs, was won by the St. John’s Golf Club. Our Treasurer’s report will show that $561.50 was taken in fees at the various Field Days, and owing to the generosity of those who contributed prizes, net revenue from this source amounted to $315.24, To all who contributed in any wayto the suceess of the Field Days, we desire to ex press appreciation—to the various Directors for allowing us the privileges of their courses; to the fifty-two friends who so @ generously contributed prizes; to the Ladies’ Committees of the different Clubs who gave much time and thought in arranging loc: ker bi, accommodation, ete., to the club profession Wag| gett als and caddie masters for their preat Waag gxr assistance; and to the Montreal ‘Star’ and nti) ont ‘Gazette’ for their many courtesies in giv | or | ing us much prominence in their papers whenever required and without whom we could not possibly have functioned.

As the revenue received with the present membership (551, of which 398 are men), proves ample to care for the property and any necessary improvements, it was deemed advisable to close the list shortly, thereby avoiding the discomforts of an over- crowded course at any time. The three vacancies on the Board were filled by the election of J. H. Thomson and the re-election of H. R. Case and N. D. MacFadyen. Fane Sewell was appointed Captain and H.. C. Lefroy, Viee-Captain.

ANCOUVER golfers certainly are determined to keep the “Hole-in-One” flag flying this year over their fair golfing city. They are off to an early start, as witness the following Playing over the Shaughnessy Course with Messrs. A. D. Anderson, Dun can Hamilton and F. O. Hodgson, Col. 8. J. Ryan put a beauty over at the 8th hole, 150 yards, and rattled the tin for one. Mr. E. S. Saunders shortly afterwards (lucky February 29th), also negotiated this hole in one shot. He was playing with Mr. E. G. Starke at the time. Mr. F. R. Wheatley, a few days afterwards, put the Point Grey Golf and Country Club in the picture when he got a “oneer” at the snappy 11th hole, 100 yards. Mr. H. E. Meilicke witnessed the stunt. On the C. P. R. course at Langara, where the greens are a pure delight, so all visitors say, Mr. J. C. Webb, playing with Mr. Ff. A. Francis, took toll in one of the 5th hole, 115 yards. And now a Vaneouver caddie joins the “Golfers’ Hall of Fame.” W, Schink, one of the Upland Golf Club “bag toters,” playing with two other caddies (the boys are allowed to play over the Upland Course on Saturday morning, a capital idea), made the 11th hole, 167 yards, in one. This is the first time a caddie has registered the performance. To Mrs. G. Kidd, Vancouver, goes the honourof being the first lady golfer in Canada to make a “oneer” this year.

FORGAN CLUBS ARE MADE BY GOLFING CRAFTSMEN The world over Forgan clubs are famous for their balance and perfect finish. They are manufactured at St. Andrews within a few yards of the home green of the St. Andrews old course.

JAMAICA PLANNING A HIGH-CLASS COURSE

R. STANLEY THOMPSON, golf architect, Toronto, Jeft last month for Jamaica, where he has been commissioned to lay out an 18-hole golf course in connection with a magnificent new hotel which the United Hotels of America are planning to build there. It is also understood that the Canadian National Railways are too interested in the project, intending to run a line of steamers to Jamaica for passengers and merchandise. Bermuda has recently made a great success of its Winter Resort propaganda Now requisite Jamaica is going to follow suit. An up-to-date golf course is the first to attract visitors of the worth-while type

HAGEN TO PLAY COMPSTON W J ALTER HAGEN, United States professional golf champion, has accepted the challenge of Archie Compston, long-hitting British star, to play for the professional match play championship of the world. Each player’s backers will put up a side bet of $750 for the match, which probably will be for 72 holes, and playedprior to the British Open Championship, in which Hagen is entered. The American star at present is undisputed possessor of the match play crown. In recent seasons he has defeated Bobby Jones, Abe Mitchell and other stars in special matches, besides capturing the American professional title at match play for the past four years. Hagen won the British Open twice, in 1922 and 1924, and was runner-up in 1923. Compston was on the Ryder Cup Team, which visited the U. S. and Canada last year. In this country he did little to demonstrate that he has much of a chance to take the measure of Hagen.

Co., New York). INCE the advent of golf into our country, volumes have been written S about the game and also the professionals. I am one of the thousands of players—sometimes called dubs—striving hard to break down the almost impregnable barrier of one hundred. Therefore, recognizing my inability to make recommendations about golf —I modestly confine myself to a topie—I think I am justly entitled to expatiate upon, namely: the pro as a man—a husbandanda father. From this angle— during the last six years, I have been deeply interested to observe him. This opportunity has often been afforded me, at many tournaments of note. The pros in their relationship with each other, in spite of keenest competition—always seemed to display the best sportsmanship. Win or lose—a hearty handclasp—andcordial slap on the back was mostly sure to follow the termination of a golf tournament. The reserve and self control of the pros is exemplary—and might well be emulated by us amateurs—whose expletives only too often stagger all those ee within earshot. In a measure, the pro appears to possess a dual make up, for when through with his dexterous work on the fairways—he appears in conventional dress at the club house or hotel—having almost completely set aside his golf ego. You then see him the attentive husband—and a pretty nice sort of a father—indeed a hail fellow well met sort of a chap. I have also met their children, and it became strongly evident to me, that the parental example is most effective and wise. Our pros are not all married, quite a few are single, and eligible to become the side partners of the very best girls.
