THE

GOLFING ANNUAL.

THE LATE MR. JOHN THOMSON.READERS of the GOLFING ANNUAL may have observed fromyear to year contributions from the pen of Mr. John Thomson,of Glasgow, and many have heard with regret of his death.His prominence as a member of the Glasgow Golf Club, andhis contributions to the literature of the game, merit for hismemory a passing tribute in the pages of the ANNUAL.

His acquaintance with golf began in 1866, in which year hewent as a schoolboy to the Madras College, at St. Andrews.The game had then fewer worshippers. St. Andrews waschiefly known as an educational resort, and its fame as theshrine of golf had not spread abroad to the uttermost ends oftho earth. But then, as now, the spirit of golf pervaded theplace, and John Thomson, who to the average schoolboy's loveof book-learning, united moro than tho average schoolboy's loveof nature and outdoor sports, came under its fascinating in-fluences. Throe years ho spent at the Madras, and in one ofthese at least a prize won for tho best school score evinced hisprogress in tho game. Later he lived for a year or two inEdinburgh. The Bruntsflcld Links had not then boon shorn oftheir privileges, and wore resorted to of early mornings byEdinburgh players. Hero he renewed his practice, enlarging itfurther by occasional visits to Musselburgh, Gullane, and ForthBerwick. Gullane had always special charms for him, andsome verses which appeared in the ANNUAL a year or two agotestify to his warm appreciation of its natural beauties. Theearly seventies brought him to Glasgow, where he enterod on atraining for tho profession of the law, in which he was after-

wards engaged up till his death. There ho joined the localClub, a small and struggling collection of players who pursuedtheirgame in the Alexandra Park, on a course which had manydisadvantages and few merits. But needs must, and the Clubmade the best of the only place at their disposal. In 1879 Mr.Thomson became their Secretary and Treasurer, and during histenure of these offices he succeeded in getting an old-standingdebt wiped out, and the Olub launched on a career of prosperity,which the latter day popularity of the game has since advancedby leaps and bounds. On retiring, he entered the Committee,and there was no member who worked harder or took a keenerinterest in promoting everything that made for the interests ofthe Club, and when in 1890 and 1891 the overcrowded con-dition of the park made it necessary for the club to seek freshpastures, he was one of the main movers in selecting andacquiring the new course at Gailes, which has already becomeone of the finest greens in the country. To its opening helooked forward with great pleasure, anticipating many roundsover it in coming years. Fate unhappily had other thingsin store for him, and there is a touch of pathos in the circum-stance that he had no sooner completed his share in thearrangements for laying out and opening the new coursethan he was stricken with a mortal illness. He went home onthe 23rd of March, 1892, feeling, as he thought, slightly unwell.He was never out of doors again. After an illness lasting fornearly fifteen months, he died on 15th Juno, 1893, at the age offorty-one.

He was a good player, and latterly the line was barelyperceptible which separated him from the front rank. Of scratchmedals and prizes he had in his time full meed, though a toughmatch had always keener charms for him than any competition.Iu all that concerns the history and traditions of the game hewas a thorough proficient, and the merits and demerits of everyseaside links in Scotland with any claim to importance wereknown to him by experience. Life had, of course, other interestsfor him, and golf came in its own place ; but when he turnedto the links he put his whole soul into the game. Thoro werefew more desirable companions for a round. " Of infinite jest,of most excellent fancy," his inborn wit and humour were con-tinually with him, and pervaded every phaso of his life. Pain

The Late Mr. John Thomson,

and disease even failed to quench them. He bore his longillness with a rare cheerfulness of humour; and when the endcame, he faced it with undiminished courage.

Of his social and intellectual qualities otherwise there is nospace here to speak. A man of wide reading, with philosophicaltastes and a keen interest in music and the arts, and withal agenuine lover of nature, he could interest liimself and interestothers in every problem of human life.

His contributions to the literature of golf have receivedappreciative notice elsewhere. Since his death these have beenpublished in a collected form as " Golfing and other Poems andSongs." The book is animated by a real love of nature and ofsport and perception of the true inwardness of golf as arecreative influence in life, and it will long proserve therecollection of him in the memory of his friends. 0.

THE LATE MR. ROBERT CLARK,ATTTHOB OF "GOLF:. A ROYAL AND ANCIENT GAME."

[From the Scotsman of March 19th, 1894.]

BY the death of Mr. Robert Clark, the senior partner of thefirm of Messrs. R. and R. Clark, printers and publishers, whichis announced to-day, Edinburgh has lost a well-known citizen,and one whose death will be deeply regretted by a very largecircle of friends. About a fortnight ago Mr. Clark went to Panwith the object of avoiding the trying easterly winds, peculiar toEdinburgh at this time of the year, and there the sad event tookplace. When he left Scotland for the South of France, he wasin his usual health; but the fatigue of tlio journoy appears tohave told upon him, for at Pau he was attacked by jaundice,from which illness he had suffered severely about four years ago.In his sixty-ninth year, Mr. Clark was unable to battle with thedisease. Ho gradually sank, and died on Saturday morning—his wife and several members of his family being with him atthe end.

A native of Montrose, Mr. Clark was the son of a local solicitor,and was educated at Moutrose Academy. When a lad lie camoto Edinburgh, aud served an apprenticeship as a printer with thelate Mr. Burness. At the completion of his apprenticeship,desiring to extend his practical knowledge and to gain experience,he went to London, and there ho worked as a journeymancompositor in the office of Messrs. Clowes and Vizotelly. Fortwo years he served iu this house, and at the close of that timehe returned to Edinburgh and started business on his ownaccount as a printer on an unpretentious scale in Hanover-street. Possessed not oidy of great business capacity, buthaving himself a thorough practical knowledge of printing in itsvarious branches, he had the satisfaction of seeing his businessprosper. Soon it outgrew the original premises, and to obtainthe larger accommodation required, a change from the east to the

west side of Hanover-street was made. From the first Mr. Clarkhad made a point of turning out nothing but the highest class ofwork, and the house gradually, if slowly, began to attractattention by reason of the admirable examples of typographywhich were associated with the firm's name. In those early daysof the business, " Marmion," " The Lady of the Lake," and" The Lord of the Isles," illustrated by Gilbert, and " TheGrave " and " The Task " were printed in the establishment,and the volumes were admitted to be the finest specimens oftypography then in the market. The growth of the business, ashas been said, was steady in those days, but it was on the abolitionof the paper duty in 1861 that it got its first great impetus. Atthat time Mr. Clark obtained from his uncle, the late Mr. AdamBlack, the contract for the printing of the Waverley Novels,and from the execution of this important piece of work thedevelopment of the house into one of the very first rankamong the printing and publishing establishments of thecountry may be said to date. The printing of Scott's novels wasexecuted with, all the finish and taste that had characterised theearlier work of tlio firm, and the reputation of the house for thevery best workmanship became fairly established. Successfulas had been the business before, it now became doubly prosperous,and at length—in 1882—it was found necessary to leave Hanover-street for Brandon-street, whore, as is well-known, the firm hasprinting premises on a vory large scale, which, for tho complete-ness of their equipment as woll as in other respects, aro probablynot excelled anywhere. At the present time the house employsbetween five and six hundred people.

To the firm of which Mr. Clark was tho senior partner belongsthe credit of having been the pioneers in tho introduction toEdinburgh of tho printing of tho best London publishers—workwhich now bulks very largely in the printing industry of thecity. Tlie faultless taste and the high degree of skill as a printerthat Mr. Clark possessed was reflected in the beautiful workovertaken by the firm, and very many of the finest editions deluxe which have come from the publishers during the last thirtyyears have been turned out by Messrs. Clark. Amongst thechoicest of the volumes which have left Messrs. Clark's hands—and they are perfect gems of typography—are Whymper's" Scrambles," " Andes," the " Voyage of the Marehesa," Mr.

The Golfing Annual,

Ponnell's "Pen Drawings," Mr. "Walter Crane's "Grimm'sFairy Tales," Messrs. Harper's " "With tho English Pen-Artistsof To-day," " A Thousand Miles Up tho Nile," and Sir W.Sthiing-Maxwoll's " Don John of Austria," a particularlybeautiful spocimon of tho printer's art. The nature of thebusiness of which Mr. Clark was tho founder may be, in somedogroo, gathered from tho fact that any day during thefortnight following Lord Tounyson's death a visitor to Brandon-street might Imvo soen as many as twenty-nine machines of themost approvod typo in operation throwing off copies of thevarious oditions of tho Lauroato's pooma, so great -was thedoniand for thorn at tho time. Such a rash upon the works ofany writer in proso or verse as this is believed to have beenunprecedented in tho history of printing.

Though a man vory widely known, Mr. Clark did not take anyaetivo part in public affairs. His personality was as marked ashis phymquo wan striking; and of a romarkably genial and kinddisposition, he was hold in groat esteem, nud was deservedlypopular wilh nil who canto in contact wil.h him—whether privatefriends or thonp i" hiH employment.

than his, and on medal days ho was always well to the front.There was no Amateur Championship in those days. The goldmedal of the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews was thenthe Blue Ribbon in the golfing world, and this coveted trophy hecarried off in the year 1864, gaining on other occasions the silvercross of the premier club thrice. He was the life and soul.of amatch, and in his time was the horo of many notable encounters.Ono experience which he had is worth recalling. On the occasionin question he was engaged in a match at Musselburgh, and witha hole to play the game stood " all even." Mr. Clark holed thehome- hole in one, and yet, strango to say, he lost the match. I tnever entered Ms mind, nor the mind of anyone on the scene,that the ball was in the hole. I t was sufficient for him that aftera careful search it could not be found on the course. Failing tofind it there, he gave up the hole and with it the match, and itwas not till afterwards that the mystery of the lost ball wassolved.

Mr. Clark is survived by a widow—a daughter of the late Dr.Proven of Lochridge—and family; and the business will becarried on by tho other partners, Mr. James Kirkwood and Mr.Edward Clark, the only son of the deceased. The remains willbo interred in Warriston Cemetery, being brought for thatpurpose to this country.

PORTSALON GOLF LINKS.By Mr. H. C. HABT, Hon. See. Portsalon Golf Club.

THESE links have been fully described in the Golfing Annual,Vol. V., 1891-92. In consequence, however, of the last holehaving had some decidedly objectionable features (too manyroads, ditches, gates), and the two previous ones having beenbelow the high standard of the rest of the links, the last threeholes have been abolished.

In order to bring in some excellent golfing ground to supplythe place of the condemned holes, a cross has been foundnecessary. This takes place at the second and seventeenthholes. It is free from danger, being a right-angled cross in theopen. These alterations have not been effected without anxiousand continued thought. Various golfers of experience andjudgment who have visited the links have been consulted; andthe changes that have been made are the result of soloction ofmuch kind and sagacious advice. Captain Kenneth McLarrenwas the last who gave us his effectual assistance, as he was alsothe first to connect the ideas of Portsalon and golf. The linkswere, however, really laid off by Mr. R. A. Collingwood, ofPortrush. ,

For a description of the unaltered holes, the reader may referto the original account. Some frash particulars will be given, butwhat follows applies mainly to the new portion of the course.A few of the old names for the holes have become inappropriate,and new ones have been adopted. Further, the new holes havebeen measured throughout, and their lengths are stated. It isfound that the total length of the holes is a little under threemiles, while the round of the links is something above thatdistance. Portsalon is on the shores of Lough Swilly, withineasy reach of Derry. Its scenery has only to be known tobecome famous, aud has already attracted hosts of admirers.Finally, a most important alteration has been effected, without

which, indeed, all others would be of little account. The hotelhas been practically rebuilt within the last two years, andlargely improved and increased. It is situated close to the firsthole, and leaves nothing to be desired in its management, itscomfort, or the kindly care with which the wants of guests areattended to.

DESCEIPTION OF THE COURSE.

1. Stormount.—Crosses the road a little beyond the gate, andall bunkers beyond, to a new green a little below and beyond theold seventeenth or Stormount green. The flag is in view fromthe tee. A full drive clears all obstacles, and leaves a shortapproach. A fine putting green. A four hole which will oftenbe done in three. 187 yards.

2. The Lowlands. This is a long hole to the old secondgreen. The road is recrossed, and on this hole we cross theplayers at the new seventeenth hole. The cross is at rightangles in an open country. The lies are very varied, and an oldcart-track in a gully through the sandhills forms a bad bunkerabout 70 yards from the hole. The putting green is excellent,and guarded by the sea. A six hole, but may be done in five.419 yards.

3. Strand.-—Another large green, reached by a full drive anda half iron. The green is compactly guarded by a rocky hillockon the left, and a bad bunker on the right. One of the prettiestholes in the course. The length is 231 yards. A four hole, butpossible three.

4. River Out.—The drive is over a shallow stream, about tenyards wide. A brassy stroke will find a good lie, and may reachthe green, which is in splendid order. A difficult four hole, andwill oftener take five. 267 yards.

5. The Desert.—This is a particularly sporting hole, especiallyfor a nervous driver. The green is in full view of the tee, whichis the ridge of a low cliff above a system of terrific bunkers.A four hole, or a lucky three, but affords wide opportunities forniblick play. 230 yards.

6. Stocker.—Here we take a half turn to the right, and runparallel to Ballinastocker strand. This hole is much improved.The "avenue cleared of bent 30 yards wide," has now no signi-fication, as there is ample space across an undulating hillocky

10 The Golfing Annual.

plain., The hole has been moved inland about 50 yards, so as totake the line of play over an opener country. The now green isbeautifully situated amongst small hillocks and a sand cliff. Adifficult four hole. 300 yards.

7. First Valley.—The line is along a valley of low hills,devoid of bunkers. A fine wide space has been cleared of bent,and the green is good throughout. The putting green is small,but cup-shaped, and lends itself to a successful neat approach.This hole is much improved by the construction of an elevatedtee, which enables the player to see the flag. Often done infour, but five is good. A hole, like many on these links, whichrequires straight play. 295 yards.

8. Second Valley.—The pitch is turned to a full iron shot, ora drive against the wind. The hole has boon moved forwardpast the hillocks, and is now of a most interesting nature.Numerous penalties lie on the road for a topped ball. To bedone in four certainly, often in three. 136 yards.

9. The Island.—This hole, always a fine one, has been greatlyimproved at both ends. A commanding tee on the summit of a30-foot sandhill, the highest perhaps on the links, lias been con-structed, and the hole has boon removed to a beautiful newnatural green, about 80 yards farther away, which brings in anew hazard in the shape of a narrow brook. The hole is beauti-fully situated on au insular low plateau. The view of LoughSwilly and the mountains from this point is a great additionalattraction. 440 yards. A hole with much capability forscoring, but ought to be secured in six, with an always possiblefive.

10. ITillavee.—The advance of the last putting green is agreat benefit to this hole. The new tee is well clear of theprevious hole, which was not the case before. The brook justcrossed forms an excellent hazard for the returning player. Theputting green is one of the best on the links, and absolutelyfaultless. -260 yards. A four hole.

11. Pyrenees.—A full drive and a three-quarter iron will landa straightly played globe on the green. The iron stroke is overa most alarming bunker, large and elevated, with a long tonguestretching towards the hole. A beautiful green rewards goodplay. The, iron shot has to lie a lofty one, and should light tothe right of the hole. Various ways of playing this hole have

Portsalon Golf Links. 11

been tried, but the perfectly straight -way is fairly safe. 245yards. A four hole.

12. The Bin.—A very sporting hole. Except against themnd, a good driver ought to reach the green, but anything shortof that -will placo him in a bunker. The bunker is not toodeadly, however, and the hole is often done in four out of it. Afour hole, to be done often in three. To clear the bunker thedrive must carry 120 yards. 174 yards.

13. Matterhorn.—Here a hole has been added to compensatefor the removal of one of the indifferent final ones. Instead ofplaying to the left, towards Greenport, the line is now to theright, towards a beautiful little depression at the end of a valley,guarded by a conical gravelly hill, and a nose of rock shapedsomewhat like the summit of the Matterhorn on a very small scale.At the bottom of this depression lies the putting green. This is aperfect hole. A full drive on to excellent golfing ground leavesa critical loft on to the green. A four hole. 245 yards.

14. Greenport. — The putting green is that of the oldthirteenth. It is approached now by a full drive to a plateauabout 60 foot above the tee. If successful, it is a short approachto the hole. A topped ball is promptly punished, and a crookeddrive leaves the player rather worse off than when he started.The green is excellent. The length is 188 yards, and the holeshould be putted out in four.

15. Alders.—In order to meet an alteration in the "River In"hole (sixteenth), tho putting green for the Alders has beenmoved back to about 40 yards from the foot-bridge across theAlders burn. The new green is a spacious and excellent one. Afull drive and an iron approach over the burn should placo theball near the hole. To be done in four. 254 yards.

16. River In.—A great improvement has been effected here.The tee is moved back, and to the right, to the other side of theAlders burn, nearer to the sea than tho foot-bridge. This givesample space for a full drive, straight on the line of the hole,over burn and river. The latter is about 60 yards from the tee.Previously this hole, always a most scientific one, had to beplayed in a curve. This is the longest hole on tho links, andprobably the finest. 487 yards. A six hole, but will oftenrequire seven strokes from a good player.

17. Meliamore.—A new hole, taking its name from the

prominent and picturesque hillock upon which the putting greenis situate. The line of play crosses the out-going course on thesecond. A long drive will clear an old cart track throughthe sandhills, which forms a bunker guarding the hill. Shouldbe done in fonr. 196 yards.

18. Home.—A fine sporting hole, where a full driye, some-what to the left, leaves a fine iron or brassy shot to the green.A topped or sliced ball will cost the player the hole. Beautifullying ground is available for the drive. A four hole, but willoftener run to five. 272 yards.

THE AULD GAME 0' GOLF.

By Mr. EONALD BOSS.

'Tis not to fancy's heights sublime my muse shall daring fly,Nor to imagination's aid that it shall fondly hie;'Tis truth I seek in sober cell to Bing the glories ofThe best of games that's kent tae fame, the auld game o' golf.

The auld game o' golf, the auld game o' golf,The best of games that's kent tae fame is the auld game.o' golf.

Each game, each sport; and pastime, I have long and vainly tried;I have sipped each sweet o' pleasure, yet I ne'er felt satisfied ;Each for awhile could please me, but their liking soon wore off,I ne'er found true contentmont till I knew the game o' golf.

The auld game o' golf, the auld game o' golf,The ark o' true contentment is the auld game o' golf.

It takes ua frae tho murky toun, when naething thore invites,Tae Nature's scenes that fill the soul wi' a thousand sweet delights ;It fills the lungs with healthy air, an' maks idle thoughts fly off,Frae the grave o' sloth a new life springs at the auld game o' golf.

Tho auld game o' golf, the auld game o' golf,Frae the grave o' sloth a new life springs at the auld game o' golf.

When ye form a happy foursome match wi' men o' tastes akin,Ye oanna coont the moments then, sae quickly dae they rin;Te scarcely think the match commenced when it's time tae leave it off,One never notes the lapse o' time at the auld game o' golf.

The auld game o' golf, the auld game o' golf,Ye never note the lapse o' time at the auld game o' golf.

There's this that forms the charm of golf—ye walk the livelong day,An' never feel a bit fatigued, or weary o1 the play ;Your mind intent on drive and putt, tae watch hoo they come off,Ye hae nae room for ither thocht at the auld game o' golf.

The auld game o' golf, the auld game o' golf,Ye hae no room for ither thocht at the auld game o' golf.

Ye may tap the founts o' Bacchus for his draughts o' rosy wine;Ye may bask in smiles o' Venus and worship at her shrine ;Yc may strip the tree o' knowledge o' each fruit that it knows of,An' find naething sae enticing as the auld game o' golf.

FORRES AND ITS GOLF COURSE.By M$. JOHN LBASK, Hon. Secretary Forres Golf Club, N.B.

I N a jeu d'esprit entitled " Shakespeare on Golf," publishedlately, reference was made to Shakespeare's visit to Forres whilecollecting material for " Macbeth." The writer suggested theprobability that, when in Scotland, Shakespeare must havesolaced himself, after his labours as a playwright and actor, byan occasional round of golf at St. Andrews. History does notrelate whether there actually was a golf course in existence atForres at that time, but the fact is undoubted that golf was playedat Burgie, some four miles distant, in the seventeenth century.Keeping this in mind, and seeing that Shakespeare has beenclaimed to have been a votary of the game, it may be fairly enoughargued that, as he laid the scene of his famous tragedy in the dis-trict of Forres, he was more impressed with the quality of the golfcourse there than he was with the St. Andrews one. It is notice-able that in his works he never refers to St. Andrews by name,whereas, no doubt with a lively recollection of his enjoyablerounds at Burgie, ho put the question in Banquo's mouth," How far is't called to Forres P "

To all appearance, golf had fallen into disuse in Forres for along period prior to 1887, in which year a party of four, includingmyself, began to play the game on a temporary course laid outby ourselves at Kinloss. The game became daily more andmore popular all over the country, and it was then thoughtadvisable to have a club in Forres. A public meeting was calledfor the purpose in 1889, and the result was beyond all erpectation.A largo number of members enrolled, and a decided impetus wasgiven to the movement by an eloquent speech by Mr. B. B.Finlay, Q.O., who has done so much to popularise golf in thenorth. In a short time the membership reached forty, and anine-hole course was laid out on part of the ground formerly

need by the four players referred to. The course—then as nowcommenced close to the Church of Kinlosa, three miles from

Forres, and extended in a north-westerly direction along theFindhorn Bay, and back. When the club had been started for ayear, and the membership continued to increase, it was felt thatthe course should be extended in the direction of tho village ofFindhorn, so as to complete the eighteen holes, Andrew Kirk-c&ldy, having been brought down from St. Andrews at the timeto coach young players, gave invaluable assistance in this mtatter,and very soon the eighteen-hole course was completed, improve-ments in tho way of draining, turfing, and doing away with badlies where golfers might reasonably expect good ones, were putin hand, and have since been continued with much spirit. Therequirements of the club have been steadily increasing, con-taining, as it now does, upwards of 110 members, besides a largenumber of visitors in summer, and accordingly everythinghas been done to make the course as perfect as possible. Acommodious clubhouse was erected about two years ago, andfitted up with boxes, a great convenience to the numerousmembers and visitors. The accompanying plan of the coursewill be of interest to golfers.

From the first tee near the clubhouse, players drive off in awesterly direction in a straight line for the sea. There are nohazards beyond whins and long grass to the right, and a goodplayer may lie dead on the green in two. The green, called"Seapark," from its proximity to that property, is, like moat ofthe greens, of fine sea turf, and is sometimes as keen as abilliard table.

Tho next drive is in a north-westerly direction. The hole isa short one, anil the green has a slight slope, adding variety tothe play. It is called " Grange," from the name of a farm onthe opposite side of the bay.

The next hole is a long one, nearly 400 yards. The greenitself, a perfect beauty, is on a headland, and the hole has to becarefully approached, otherwise the unwary player may findhis ball lying on the sand of the bay. A short distance offthere is a small island, which has given rise to the name•' Island Hole." A magnificent view is got from this green ofthe little fishing village of Findhorn to the north, the OulbinSands and the Ross-sliiro and Sutherlandshiro mountains to the

I Forres and Its Golf Course. 17

west, and the Cawdor and Grampian Hills to the south, asfine a prospect as can be seen anywhere.

At the next tee, a ditch has to be driven over, and if thetide is far back and the sands dry, players sometimes shortenthe distance by playing over the bay to the next hole, insteadof going round it. Owing to the green being at high tidepartly surrounded by the sea, it is called the " Sea Hole."

In driving to the next hole (" Point"), another ditch has tobe crossed close beside the sea. The hole is protected by a badbunkor of bent to the right and by a large artificial bunker anda ridgo of sand to the left. It lies in a slight hollow, and hasa large, keen green. Players frequently come to grief, however,in approaching it, a big score being totalled up.

In advancing to the next hole, called the " Bay Hole," onenotices that the sea has encroached on the land, and the ballmust therefore be driven close alongside of it. A straightlong drive will land the ball on the greon, but, if pulled, itwill lie on the sand of the bay, not a difficult hazard. Thehole is one of the shortest on the course, and has a largenatural green.

By this time we are coming to a point opposite Binsness, onthe opposite side of the bay, the finely wooded property ofMajor Chadwick, hence the next hole is called " Binsness," alsoa short one. It is protected by an artificial bunker.

The next hole is called " Cnlbin," on account of the magni-ficent view obtained from it of the Culbin Sands on the oppositeside of the bay, a desert track of drifting sand extending fornearly eight miles along the Moray Firth westwards to nearNairn, by which the once fertile and populous Barony of Culbin(about four miles north of Forres ) has been rendered a sterilewaste. ("The Province of Moray," Edinburgh, 1813.) Theplayer, in driving to this hole, plays on to the green itself, agood large one, with a sand bunker to the left and short ofthe hole.

The next (ninth I hole is called " Findhorn," from its proximityto the village bearing that name. By recent extension, thishole has been made one of the longest on the course, beingnearly 400 yards. Driving over a small ditch—taking care tokeep to the right to avoid a sand bunker—a strong player mayget within a brassy shot of the hole. It has, however, to be

c


negotiated across a march ditch and hillocks of bout, and manya player comes to grief in one or other of those hazards. Thegreen itself is a new one, and promises to be a valuableimprovement.

Tho next hole, called " Bridge," is at once the shortest andmost sporting ono on the course, also a recent extension. Thepublic road from Forces to Findhorn here passes over the dis-used Findhorn Railway by a bridge curving to the north. Thenew green is to the left of the road, high up on the hill. A goodcleek or iron shot should land tlie ball on the green over the oldrailway and intervening gorso and grass. The green is large,composed of natural turf, and woll rolled, and if the player isfortunate he may hole-out in two or three. Even when he getsto the top of the hill, however, there is the risk of his over-shooting tho green, and finding himself on the road, or, worsestill, on the low-lying field east of it. A magnificent prospoctisgot from tho hill, of Forros, tho Moray Firth, tho famous " Sutorsof Cromartliy," tho Ross-shivo and Sutherlandshire Mountains,Findhorn Bar, and tho whole .surrounding country, includingthat to tho cast, and on a lino summer day, with the soft seabroozos floating across (he bay, one can hardly fail to be im-pressed with tho exquisite bounty of tho scene.

The, next too is at tho sidn of tho hill, close to the last green.This hole is now tho longest on tho course, boing 400 yards, andplayers may either oloct to drive straight across the bridge anddown the road (see plan), or nuiy play round tho bridge, therebyconsiderably lengthening the distance. Good players willprobably adopt the former alternative with all its risks, butthe "duffers " may deem it safer to adopt tho other, in tho hopethat iu the end it may pay belter. Half-way to the holo theditch last mentioned has to be crossed, and the hole, called" Return," is also protected by an artificial bunkor. If tho ballis pulled, or caught by tho prevailing westerly wind and driveneast of the holo, the player may find himself in a serious hazardof whins and rushes.

Tho next is the " Road Mole," from its proximity to thoFindhorn Road. To too the ball tho playor has to ascendtho whinny bank, and has again to bewaro of pulling intothe whins lining the course on tho oast side. The greenitself is protected by another artificial buukor, but when once

Forres and Its Golf Course. 19

approached, players are rewarded by the extent and keennessof tho turf.

The next hole is almost opposite Doune Park Farm, hence thename "Doune Hole." Driving off the bank again, the previousremark applies as to avoiding the left, and another artificialTranker protects the green, also calculated to delight a golfer'sheart.

The next, a long hole, is called " Langcot," from the propertyon which half the course lies. Driving off the bank once more,and clearing an artificial bunker, the way is clear for the hole,and a good player should find himself on the green in three, butif he over-drives his approach shot he will find himself in bent,and perhaps total up a big record.

The next is the " Bent Hole," from its being half surroundedby bent, tho approach being to the right. It is an excellentlarge green of beautiful sea turf.

From the proximity of whins all along on the left, the next iscalled tho " Whin Hole." It lies in a natural cup, and is usuallyvery keen and playable. If over-approached, the ball is almostcertain to land in a ditch on the other side, whereby many a holehas been lost. There is a small tool-shed close by, affording alandmark to players.

The next hole (the "School") is almost opposite Kinloss School-house. It is easy of approach, but there is a benty hillock to theleft and rushes to the right protecting it. The green is fairlygood.

We come now to the eighteenth and last hole, called " Kin-loss." A long drive should carry tho ball between two smallbenty hillocks, full of rabbit holes and bad lies, and shouldsecure a good lie beyond. With brassy aud iron shots theplayer should land on the green, but if tho approach is toostrong, he will find himself in broken and uneven ground.

Having now gone over tho course, extending to nearly threemiles, players return to the clubhouse, and, if strangers, will nodoubt discuss the merits of the course. The first commentmade by almost all visitors is about the excellent quality of thegreens, which are admittedly superior to those of most courses.The club has been exceptionally fortunate from the beginningin having green-keepers who practically understood turfingand the mode of treatment of natural sea turf, and it is not to

c 2


be wondered at, therefore, that the greens give such satis-faction. A considerable part of tho course is above the level ofeven the highest spring tides, but in the months of Februaryand October part of it is submerged for a few hours at springtides. This drawback has, however, in a large measure beencompensated for by the springy nature which the sea impartsto the turf; and, as the course has been well drained, it isplayable as the tide recedes. In the summer months, the tidesnever affect the course.

Forres is easily reached by train, boing within fourteenhours run from London and five from Edinburgh and Glasgow.Tho terms for visitors, including tho use of the clubhouse, havebeen fixed at tho following low charges :—

A month 5s. Od.A week 2s. 6d.A day Is. Od.

Visitors may get down to Kinlos.s cither by busses or trainsstarting from Forres at convenient hours during the day. Inthe summer months, the 'bun service is considerably increased.Cabs are charged 2s. (W. There is ample accommodation forvisitors in FOITOH, thoro lining first-class hotels, a large hydro-pathic establishment, and boarding-houses. Macdonald's RoyalStation Hold is the principal hotel in the town, and golfersstaying there, besides being made very comfortable, may havegolf free. They will find mine bout most attentive, and willingto help them in the way of gelling opponents.

Tlie whole district is one of the driest and most salubriousin Scotland, The average rainfall for the year is about thelowest in the British Isles. During the punt year, meteorologicalobservations show that in Fonvs rain fell mi forty fewer daysthan at Nairn, eleven niiles distant, (lius confirming an old boastof tho natives lirsl recorded by Sir Robert Gordon in 1640and repeated by the Rev.

Chancellor of King Oonrannus, according to Sir JohnBallenden's translation of the History of the Scots. It wasmade a Royal Burgh by William the Lion, and was visitedby the early Scottish monarchs, one of whom, King Duncan,was murdered in the old castle of Forres, anno 965. Tho townwas burned by tho Wolf of Badonoch in 1390, described bySir Thomas Dick Lauder in his famous novel " The Wolf ofBadenoch." Forres Pillar, near the town, is an obelisk of muchinterest. I t is truly described in "Shaw's History of Moray"as one of the most curious and stately monumonts of the kindin Britain, and as "the crowning glory of tho School of Art ofthe Celtic Olmrch period." The Cluny Hills, close to tho town,are finely wooded, laid out with miles of beautiful walks amongthe pines, commanding magnificent views, and one is surmountedby a tower in honour of Lord Nelson, from which olovoncounties can bo soon on a cloar day. Forres also forms thocentre for visiting many places of antiquarian interest, such asDarnaway, Brodie, Cawdor, and Kilravoeh Oastlos, PluscardonPriory, and Kinloss Abbey, Elgin Cathedral, and " Tho blastedheath " and Maobetli's hillock, immortalised by Shakespeare.Then there are the Altyro Woods, tho Oulbin Sands, alreadyreferred to, and tho River Findhorn itself, of which Sir ThomaHDick Lander wrote: " Perhaps no river of tho mime size inGreat Britain possesses so exquisite, SO continued, and yet sovaried a rango of scenery as it does from even a few miles ofits source till it approaches the seaport to which it gives itsname." Dr. Carruthers, in his " Highland Notebook," alsowrote, " Let no man visit tho Highlands of Scotland in questof the picturesque without seeing tho banks of the Findhorn,"The river has also formed the subject of a, sonnet by ProfessorBlacldo. A visit to the Laich of Moray, apart altogether fromthe pleasures of golf, will well reward any golfer who is fondof the beautiful in nature, and is interested in historical andarchaeological relics. Those who are fond of llshing can alsohave salmon, grilse, and trout fishing in five miles of the RiverFindhoru at moderate; charges.

The club has boon fortunate in having had two " laureates "since its commencement. The first, the genial Sherill' Spittal,is now, alas! no more. On one occasion lie delighted a FORROSgolf dinner by singing an original song, " Tho Landing on tho

The Golfing Annual.

Green," one verse of which will no doubt interest all votaries ofthe game:

No splendid jackets do we wear of green, or blue, or red,We much prefer to wear at play our oldest coats instead.We sport no shamrocks in our hats, upon the Forres green,At Findhorn neither shams nor rooks are ever to be seen.But we ply our golf clubs gaily as we play along the shore,And try to beat the record with a wondrous little score;And most of all, the grin of joy on each man's face is seenWhen his lofting iron lands his ball upon the putting green.

CHOBTJS.—And most of all, &o.

SPECIAL CHORUS.0 the bunkers may be many, or few and far between,But joy of joys to golfer's heart is landing on the green.

His successor, Mr. H. Mackintosh, has likewise composed anoriginal song, which has also been worthily enshrined in thearchives of the club. Space will enable mo to give onlyspecimen verse:

Ye've a' heard hoo Andrew Kirkcaldy lias lioket that chiel WilliePark.

Do ye ken hoo the douoe Fifeshire laddie accomplished that neatpiece of wark i

His success he will doubtless attribute, professional good thoughhe be,

To one or two wrinkles he gathered on tlie links at Kinloaa by thesea.

Andrew Kirkcaldy and a', the Fifeshire laddie and a',0 are na we very weel off, wi' Kirkcaldy to teach us a,'!

This verse will be appreciated when it is explained that thesong was composed and sung "ftt the first golf dinner a fewmonths after Andrew's visit to Kinloss, and a week or two afterlie had beaten Willie Park in the great match. The idea of thelast achievement having been contributed to by the hints he hadgot from his Fovres pupils brought down the house.

The enthusiasm which has inspired the Fori'es Club from itscoinincncoment is not new to tlie district, for, even in golf,history repeats itself. There is an entry in the diary ofAlexander Brodie of Brodie, under date August 19, 1672: " Iwas this night at Burgi. Mr. Colin Falconer" (Episcopalminister at Forres) " drank with me, and we recreated the bodiby pastim at golf. Lord, let this be noe snar to me!" The

Forres and Its Golf Course. 23

keen liking for the game which the Laird of Brodie feared wouldbe a snare and temptation to him has been handed down in afull measure to the Forres Olub, many members of which requirebut little persuasion to undertake another round. Visitors,therefore, have no difficulty in getting opponents, but I shall beglad to assist them to do so, and to afford any furtherinformation desired.

OUR LITTLE LINKS.By Mr. T. D. MILIEU.

WESTLEA. GREEN, situated somewhere in the lowland uplandsof Scotland, was opened on a wet and windy afternoon by thecaptain striking off the first ball. After two or three futileattempts, at which our sympathetic Ohs! and Ahs! seemed tohave quite the opposite effect intended, he succeeded in gettingthe ball away, and we gave three lusty cheers for the new nine-hole course, with one more for our worthy captain, for we aremostly neophytes. A temporary release had allowed of ourcounty member's presence, and, as there was a call for a speech,ho said that, though not himself a golfer, he had occasionallylooked on, and, so far as ho could judge, ours was the best inlandgreen in Scotland, to which sentiment we all gave ready assent.We do not boast, like some of our neighbours, of affording fromtho cour.su " a fine vista of mountain scenery," for most of usprofor to do our golfing and mountaineering separately. Noneedy inventor has as ynt produced a combination brassey andalpenstock, mid, until some .such article (wo are somewhat behindthe ago in tho novelty nomouchituro) appears, we prefer to throwin our lot with those who " love to tread the level sward."

Our green is carved out, of a bit of waste moorland, and,though at the outset the sport resembled little else than golf ina hnyftold, by dint of returfiug and burning the grass, as heatheris burned on a grouse moor, we can get round now with a singleball, and the sale of nnishios at the local dealers has decreased inan arithmetical retrogression. The groon used to be let as agrouse moor, and, though there was little heather, and lessgrouse, WO still have our " Heather Hole," for wo like our littlelinks to resemble "the mother of them all" as far as possible.The sporting tenant, who was reassured for a time with theargument that the fowor the grouse the more hunting he got,at last threw up his lease in disgust when ho found his best bag

Our Little Links. 25

to consist of a snipe, a grouse, and three golf balls. But theearly morning golfer, who has ears to hear, is still occasionallygreeted with the " Go back, go back" challenge of the red-feathered fowl, and can see his scarlet comb lifted up on somehoath-tufted knoll. The snipe, too, tumbles now and then withhis bleat-liko beat far overhead in the blue, and any time duringsummer one may chance upon a stand of golden plover. It isonly the golfing fanatic who fails to note these peculiar charmsand accessories of a round on the moor. Some men would seenothing but a ball and a hole ; and anything else that obtrudesitself—man, beast, or bunker, or even bird—comes in for a roundof impolite abuse. " How can a man put with that blank larkmaking such a row over his head P " was the feeble apology for afeebler put at the end hole, by one who was once a familiarfigure in the Old Union parlour.

The villagers of Westlca took very kindly to the game, andthe demand for clubs soon reached such proportions that werequired a local dealer. The china-ware merchant took upthe trade, and pushes his new department with a zeal onlytempered by bis ignorance of Ms novel stock. Althoughhe shows none but Park's material, he insists that he is anagent for Forgan, and that the former's name is the hitter'strade mark. When asked for a " Tom Morris," whose very name(shades of St. Andrews !) he was ignorant of, he indignantlyrepelled the insinuation that he should offer any other maker'sclubs so long as he remained Morgan's agent. The A.I. balls heinvariably recommends, with the assurance that they are madeby a professional. He gives his opinion in a way that remindsone of Old Tom's back shop, and to his mind the militia officers,who now and again tool a dogcart over from the neighbouringcamp, are the most notable players of the place, as they smashenough clubs at a single outing to keep an ordinary player goingfor a twelvemonth. Their chief ambition seems to be the reverseof the avei-age amateur cricketer, whose soul is set on doublefigures. One can notice an indirect effect of their reckless de-struction of timber in the language of the rustic youths who actas their caddies, and who have of late developed a taste forstrong language, in imitation of their betters ; and, to show thatthe mind of the village scholar is not incapable of syllogisticreasoning, tho parish teacher cites a tale that when he one day


reproved the insidious habit in some of his hasty little golfingspirits, concluding with the usual trite remark that " No gentle-man ever swears," a diminutive club-bearer, whom we havedubbed "the doctor," pertinently inquired, " Div ye no' ca' theCornel and Mester Charters gentlemen P "

Of course we boast our local champion, who has as yet onlyattained to a second-class place on older links than ours; but athome he is par excellence, and we are all proud of him. He isthe lion of the green, especially among the girls, who affect theshort gaino, for Westlea is open to both sexes, and a stirringsight it is to see him heading off before our modest gallery, inscarlet jacket, sky blue cap, white linen gaiters, liberal cuffsand collar, and broad expanse of white kids. He is easilyrecognisable when he visits any of the reputable links, and.though until now ho has bad the misfortune never to havecomo off at any open meeting, wo are hopeful that he will oneday put a blue ribbon to the credit of our little green.

Westlea is a popular summer resort, with other attractionsthan an inland links. It has a pleasant little stream of its ownthat " sings a lullaby to feverish dreams " of city men, and isaltogether a sequestered spot, with plenty of privacy, so that wecount on an annual incursion of holiday members, whom weclassify, according to a form of our own, as flyers and stayers,which has, however, no relation to their golfing styles. Thelatter class we subdivide, and describe, as we do the magas, bythe titles fortnightlics, monthlies, and quarterlies. It will bereadily understood that it was not a little difficult to apportionto each of these their proper share of the expense of tho upkeepof the green, but our secretary, who is college-learned, and inthis way acquired a knowledge of other languages than his own,and who takes no end of trouble in making all necessaryarrangements, submitted the following scheme at the generalmeeting, and it was forthwith approved, as ho still insists,nomine contrudicente.

I t was thought that, with a liberal use of italics, the bill wouldbe brought •within the apprehension of the dullest capacity; but,as a proof of the mental calibre of the holiday seekers, there aresome who confess themselves unable to understand it, and it isno -unusual sight to see tho hon. sec. of the club, with a pardon-able pride, endeavouring to bring somo of the summer visitors toa better understanding of our tariff card, and he has hithertobeen ablo so to manipulate tho subscriptions that we haveexecuted numerous improvements on the green, and latterly havobuilt ourselves a neat and convenient golf house, at very littleexpense to the regular members, which serves to prove that inWestlea, at any rate, golf is not altogether an altruistic game.

THE LADIES' GOLF UNION.By Miss ISSETTE PEAKSON, Hon. Secretary.

THE idea of a Ladies' Golf Union originated with some half-dozen members of the Wimbledon Ladies' Golf Club, whoexpressed a wish to establish an open championship for ladies.This wish was communicated to Mr. W. Laidlaw Purves, whowarmly took up the subject, and, under his guidance, noticeswere sent to all the ladies' clubs to ascertam what support wouldbe given. The result was so encouraging, that a meeting wasarranged to be held on the 19th April, 1893. This meeting wasattended by thirty-two delegates from fifteen of the largestladies' clubs, and was presided oTor by Mr. Laidlaw Purves, whopointed out the necessity of a Union to establish an authoritywhich should be representative of all ladies' golf clubs, thusgiving these clubs an opportunity of legislating in regard to therules under which they desired to play, and conducing to auniformity of rules and byelaws, and of handicapping, as, by sucha Union, arrangements could much more easily be made for inter-club and international matches, and also for the arrangement ofa ladies' championship. The Union was then formed, and it wasagreed that it slionld consist of a Council, comprising delegatesfrom all affiliated clubs, a President (not yet chosen), four Vice-Presidents, namely, Mr. W. Laidlaw Purves, Mr. Talbot Pair, Mr.H. S. C. Everard, and Mr. T. Gilroy (representing the South ofEngland, North of England, Scotland, and Ireland, respectively),an Hon. Treasurer (Miss Martin), and an Hon. Secretary (MissI8.sette Pearson, 10, Northumberland Avenue, Putney, S.W.). Asub-conmiittee was chosen to draw up rules and regulations, andto arrange details of the first championship meeting, which, itwas decided, should be held on the links of the Lytham and St.Anne's Ladies' Golf Club, as that club had already arranged anopen meetiug, which, however, they at oneo agreed to waive infavour of the championship on hearing of the proposal.

The Golfing Girl. 31

THE GOLFER GIRL.AM, " THE BKAVE OLD OAK."

By Mr. BONALD Boss.

"KB a maiden fair, with "bright golden hair,And form like the sturdy pine,

While ripe health speaks in her rosy oheeka,And eyes that like starlets shine.

She has left for awhile the world's false smile,And fashion's giddy whirl,

To mix in the scene on the golfing green,The high-aouled golfer girl.

While fashion's tools, slaves to its rules,Find neither peace nor rest,

And barter life's powers for a few short hoarsOf cheating joys at best;

The bliss and content of a lifo well spentAll thoughtless away they birl,

'Twore better if they had spent life's dayOn the links with the golfer girl.

Like the sunbeams dance o'er the green expanse,From hole to hole she hies ;

A thing of joy that ne'er can cloy,A sight to bless your eyes.

As she pauses awhile, with a laugh and smile,To bind up a straying curl,

Yon wish in your soul that you could so controlThe thoughts of the golfer girl.

She flits o'er the green with a gracious mien,And an air of quiet command,

Like an angel bright, or a fairy sprite,With a club for magic wand.

And you know too well that she bears a spellThat puts your peace in peril,

For no magic art can touch your heartLike the smile of the golfer girl.

0 why rail at life, itH trials and strife,When we know that its end and aim

Is to (it us here for a higher sphere,When Death its dues shall claim.


Our fears let us drop while faith and hopeAt the doors of onr heart aye tirl,

And for comfort lets seize on the things that pleaseThe soul of the golfer girl.

0 long may she be as happy and free,And kind and fair as now;

Her griefs and cares fall light as the airsThat fan her sunny brow.

And let her shine a goddess divine,Of every woman the pearl;

And the grand old game long live to claimAs its own the golfer girl.

BOXMOOR GOLF COURSE.By Mr. FBANE CORNWELL, Hon. Sooretary Boxmoor Golf Club.

THIS sporting littlo niue-liolo course has the merits of variety,accessibility, and charming surroundings. Laid out with muchjudgment on the down between Boxmoor and Bovingdon, itpossesses plenty of natural hazards—cart track, chalk pits, gorsobushos, and heather—sufficient to punish a topped ball or erraticdrive.

" Colonel Bogey" has not as yet exhibited his true form oilthese links, and takes 84 for tho eighteen holos; 78 would, wofancy, be more in accordance with his reputation. Someamusing correspoudonco wont on in Oolf a little time ago abouta fancy score of 32 for the nine holes, supposed to have boonaccomplished by—well, never mind names. Tho members of thoBoxmoor Club would hail with enthusiasm any player whowould show them how tills feat may bo porformod, with thoputting greens in far more perfect condition than then. Ascratch player would probably, with reasonable good fortuuo,oxpect to do the nine holes in something under 42,

The unpretentious but cosy clubhouse is aboutf ifteenminutes' walk from Boxmoor Station (L. and N. W. By.), whichitself is forty-live minutes from Euston. A walk of about 170yards from tho clubhous ebrings us to the first tee, from whicha straight drive of 150 yards across the open, with heather and anasty deep curt track to catch a badly played ball, should bringone within A good iron shot of the green, which lies in a chalkpit. It is well done if you hole out in four. Tho second shot isacross a ravine and up a stoopiah slope. Hero a good drive cancarry the green, but it must be straight, or it will get you intoawful trouble, as it lies on the brow of a hill, with a deep chalkpit to tho right to take a sliced ball, whereas a pulled ball findsitself in a bud case amongst bushos. Tho " Colonel " allowshimself four, which is very fair form.

D


The third green lies down in the plain, and from the tee onthe summit can be carried with a long cleek shot, but it must bea good one, or there will be grief in the chalk pit or amongst themany juniper bushes. This hole is considered by a well-knowngolfer to be one of the most sporting on any inland links. Thefourth is a longer hole, and after the drive, which must besufficiently long to carry a little forest of junipers extending 120yards, is plain sailing, the only trap to be avoided being the road,which runs parallel with the course, and swallows many a slicedball. Two long drives should bring you within an iron shot ofthe green. The fifth tee faces a steep hill, which wants a cleanand well lofted drive. Moreover, it must be a perfectly straightone if you are to find yourself in a good position for your ironapproach. Bushes, many and grievous, border the narrow way.Lying in the open, as the accurate player will, he may easilydrop on the green in two. This hole is not liked as a rule,excepting by good golfers.

The sixth hole sees our face turned homewards. This is,perhaps, the most interesting, as well as one of the longest holesin the round, and that in which luck, bad or good, will makesome difference. The ravine, which requires 140 yards' carry, isdeep and wide, and the opposite hill, on the top of which the ballmust land, if it is not ignomiiiiously to roll back into a shockinglie in the bottom, is high. A long sliced drive will disappearinto a diteli or hedge, and make a good hole hopeless ; whilst apull will be, if possible, still more disastrous. A long straightdrive, falling clear, as it may reasonably be expected to do, ofrabbit scratches; then your second, albeit, with a hanging ball,may—especially if yon can put in a good brassy shot—land yousomewhere near the green. The " Colonel " is probably wise inclaiming to do this hole in six, in view of the many possibilitiesof disaster.

No. 7, given a good drive, is not at all difficult, though a wellbushed dell acts as guardian of the greon. The eighth lias only achalk pit of abont 60 yards carry, and is well within reach of adrive and three-quarter iron. The last hole also only requires astraight drive ; whether it be long or short matters little, as twoiron shots will carry the green from tho tee. Straight it mustbe, or into the hedge—Scylla or Charybdis—right or left, you willgo. Each of these last three holes the " Colonel" triumphantly

THE HANTS AND ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTYGOLP ASSOCIATION.

By Mr. P. F- MOBTON, Hon. Secretary.

THIS Association, which was formed on 2nd November, 1893,represents the latest development of the royal and anC1entI m e in England. It was formed with the vaew of developingfounty golf on the same lines as county cricket HoweverS i counties have followed suit "county golf matches,"— l y so called, cannot take place The Association has,therefore turned its attention to the institution of an AmateurCounty Championship." This will be a yearly meeting, to beheld each spring, on ono or other of the links in the county.The First County Championship Mooting will be held^ thisApril on the links of the Royal Winchester Golf Club. Modal1 for thirty-six holes has been selected as the test—possibly

match play may prove hotter in the future, but on this, andmany other points, the Association will learn by experience.

A Professional County Championship is talked of for anautumn meeting, and no doubt additions to these two meetingswill suggest themselves ere long. _

The Association has met with warm support in Hampshireand the Isle of Wight, every known golf club in the countyhaving joined. Tho Amateur County Meeting in the springshould, therefore, produce some good golf.

At present the " county qualification " is a simple question,any member of any club in tho county being eligible for theAmateur County Championship. As soon, however, as othercounties follow suit, the question of qualification will crop up atonce, and the Hampshire Association will be glad to thresh itout with any other county golf association.

Our inter-county golf matches of tho future will be pro-ductive of some delightfully, keenly fought games, and it is to behoped that before long the first of thorn may bo made possible,by some other sporting county placing itself in a position tochallenge " Hampshire and the Isle of Wight."

LADY MARGARET SCOTT,

I'lIASII'lUN LADY UOU'KU, 18M.

THE LADIES' CHAMPIONSHIP,By Mr. A. H. DOLEMAN, Southehore.

T H E year eighteen hundred and ninety three must always standout as a remarkable epoch in the annals of golf. It bears animpress next in importance to the memorable years of 1860and 1885, when "Willie Park won the first open championshipat Prostwick, and Mr. Macfie vanquished Mr. Horace Hutchinsonat Hoylake in the final of the first championship for amatenrs.Since these two events took place, the ancient game has goneahead with giant strides, and no better proof could be addncedof its widespread popularity than the event which took placelust June, at St. Anne's-on-the-Sca, when Lady Margaret Scottwas hailed the winnor of the first ladies' championship ofGroat Britain.

The gentler sex seem to be invading man's province in alldirections. Whether it be trade, law, medicine, art, or thehigher departments of learning, woman seems determined thatman shall not have it all his own way, and so now even inathletics she comes forward and boldly disputes his superiorityin a sphere which man deemed peculiarly his own. Time was,and that not very long4 ago, when ladies' golf was restrictedmerely to one department, of the game—that of putting. Sincegolf, however, has been taken up so eagerly by English ladies,putting only will not suffice, and if Scottish ladies mean to holdtheir own with their English sisters, then it will be necessarythat a ladies' links shall be of such an extent as to enable thefair sex to practice all parts of the game.

Judging from the play of several ladies at St. Anne's lastJune, more particularly that of Lady Margaret Scott, therewould bo nothing surprising if, at some future time (and thatnot very far distant), a lady is found entering for both theopen and amateur championships. Let us hope, when thatevent does occur, golfers will not display the spirit shewn in

Tlie Golfing Annual.

some professions by disqualifying the would-be competitors'mply because she is—a lady.

That golf is a game well adapted for ladies few will deny.Of course there are a few croakers, great sticklers for the so-called proprieties, who will tell you that at times it showsladies in attitudes that are anything but becoming and ladylike.To such I would merely remark that, had they witnessed theplay of Lady Margaret Scott at the championship, I am con-vinced they would soon have changed their opinion. Anythingmore graceful and lady-like than the style of Lady MargaretScott it would be difficult to imagine. Her long, beautiful, andgraceful swing was a treat to witness. Running over in ourmemory the various styles of gentlemen amateurs we haveseen in a long period of years, those of the late Sir RobflrtHay and Mr. Wm. Goddard, of Leith, were in our opinioncertainly the finest. The two were quite distinct, yet eachperfect in its kind. Lady Margaret Scott's swing is almostan exact copy of the former.

The merits of golf as a game well suited for ladies were soadmirably expressed in an article which appeared in Golf,immediately after the competition, that wo cannot refrain fromquoting it:—

" Golf as a game, and played even amid the distracting sur-roundings of public criticism, is probably more suited thanany other form of outdoor sport for ladies. Not only is skill, theprime requisite of all games, evoked to a very large and variedextent, but what is even more important, the morale of theplayer'is tested in a way of which no other sport of a similarkind is capable. As a general rule, women's enjoyments arerestricted to a tolerably well-defined and narrow area, but theintroduction of golf has opened up a fresh field of enjoymentto them, and its possibilities for good to the sex may not beestimated off-hand. The game takes woman into the sunlightand open air ; it makes their complexion and physique the envyof the womankind of European notions; it is the enemy of hat-less dawdle and formal dress parades, though the beautifulcostumes seen at St. Anne's last week show its capabilities inthis respect."

We can endorse every word of the above. Not long ago weheard a lady golfer say that previous to taking up the game she

The Ladies' Championship. 39

felt quito fatigued when she had walked a mile or a mile and ahalf. Now she can do her thirty-six holes and fool not merelynone tho worse, but a great deal tho better, and as she herselfremarked, " don't you just enjoy your dinnor and a rost in theeasy chair after such a day."

In some respects tho ladies, in golfing matters, have alreadyoutstripped the gentloruen. The Ladies' Golf Union is now anestablished fact; with the gentlemen that dosideratmn is stillin futwro. I t is to the Ladies' Golf Union cortainly that woare indebted for bringing about tho ladies' championship.

Tho Union was formally constituted on April 19th, 1893, at ameeting held in London, at the Grand Hotel, Mr. W. LaidlawPurves in the chair. The meeting decidod that a Ladies'Championship should be held annually, tho first competition totake place at St. Anne's-on-tho-Sea, on June 13, 14, 15. I t wasnext decidod that the cup played for bo of tho value of50 guineas, and towards this amount subscriptions wore at oncepromised, as follows: Wimbledon, 101. 10s.; St. Anne's,101. 10s.; St. Andrew's, 10Z. 10s.j Ashdown, 31. 3s.; Black-hoath, 51. 5s. ; Brighton, 11, Is.

It was a graceful act on tho part of tho Union in selecting1 St.Anno's-on-tho-Sca as the battle-ground of the first ohampion-ship meeting, sooing tho Lytliam and St. Anno's Golf Club wasperhaps tho first to movo in tho matter. AN far back as thobeginning of 1893 tho subject of a ladies' championship mootingat St. Anno's had boon mooted in the clubroom there, and tholion, secretary, Mr. Talliot Fair, in his annual report at thogeneral meeting in March, made a suggestion to this effoct.The idoa was immediately taken up and endorsed by thocouncil. At tho next mooting of tho council it was determinedto hold a ladies' championship, opon to all lady golfers in GroatBritain, while the cup to bo competed for should be of the valueof 50 guineas. An advertisement to this effect, appeared in Golfshortly after—April 7.

When, however, tho Ladies' Union was formed, and thocompetition assumod more of a national aspect, the club decidedto throw in their lot with tho Union, and endeavour by every moansin their power to mako what would otherwise have been a com-petition of a somi-privato nature really and truly a national ono.Tho solection of tho sito was a happy ono from another point of


view. St. Anne's-on-the-Sea is almost equi-distant from Londonand Edinburgh, thus putting Scottish and Southern ladies onpar in this respect, while the service of trains from both capitalsie SO good that any one leaving London or Edinburgh by the10 a.m. express can be on the green by 3.30.

The response made by the ladies of the United Kingdom tothe invitation to compete in a golf championship if not every-thing that the promoters expected, cannot but be considered as,on the whole, very satisfactory. Ladies came from almost allparts; north of England, south of England, Ireland, and evenFrance, but, strange to say, not one from Scotland. "Whatmay have been the reason for this it is difficult to say.Whether it is that the distance was too great or that Scottishladies object to such publicity in playing golf, or that inthe " home of golf " ladies are still content merely with theputting game, and so felt themselves at a great disadvantage,it is impossible to determine. But whatever may have beenthe cause of the Scottish ladies not entering the lists, we canhardly think it could be the last of the three above-mentioned, aswe are credibly informed that there are several ladies in Scotlandnow who could hold their own even with Lady Margaret Scott.Let us hope they will turn out in strong force at the nextchampionship meeting. When the time for entry had expired,it was found that the total number of aspirants for the covetedhonour was thirty-eight.

The course on which the contest took place was the ladies'links of the Lytham and St. Anne's Golf Club. It consistsof nine holes, and is of sufficient size to test all points of thegame for a lady player. The hazards are not very severe, butquite heavy enough for lady golfers. Tliat an idea may be givenas to the size and difficulty of the course, it may be sufficient tostate that thirty-three or thirty-four would be an extremely finepar score for any one. Mr. John Ball, when at St. Anne's lately,played once over the course and holed out in thirty-six.

The orthodox eighteen holes, or two rounds of the course, wereplayed, and the first and second ties resulted as follows :

FIRST ROUND.

Mrs. Divvies (Mmchinlmmpton), Miss Terry (Lytham and St.Anne's), Miss Bence (Eastbourne), Miss M. Lythgoe (Lytham and St.Anne's), Miss Newall (Paul.MiaaRoeieFair (Lytham and St. Anne's),

and strokes—forty-one each, really good play for any ordinaryamateur. Commencing the second round, the Wimbledonplayer took the lead, and was soon two up; at the fifth holethey were again all square; the sixth was won by Miss Pearson,while the St. Anne's player won the seventh and eighth,thus making her " dormy one." However, Mrs. Oatterall droveinto the " cop " going to the last hole, and so lost it, and thematch ended all square. The extra hole was won by MissPearson, and thus ended, perhaps, the best contested match inthe competition.

THIED BOUND.

Miss Terry beat Miss Lythgoe by three and two to play.Mrs. Wilson Hoare beat Miss Newall by seven and five to play.Mrs. Brown beat Miss M. Lythgoe by three and one to play.Lady Margaret Scott, a bye; Miss Fair, scratched.Miss A. H. Thompson beat Miss Welch by two holes.Miss Carr beat Mrs. Eason by six and five to play.Mrs. L. Thomson beat Mrs. Stewart by seven and six to play.Miss I. Pearson beat Miss Drake by four and three to play.

FOURTH KOUND.

Miss Terry beat Mrs. Wilson Hoare by one hole.Lady M. Scott beat Mrs. Brown by eight and seven to play.Miss Carr beat Miss A. K. Thompson by four and three to play.Miss I. Pearson beat Miss L. Thomson by five and three to play.

In this round the match between Miss Terry and Mrs. WilsonHoare was well contested, and created a good deal of excitement.Becoming " dormy one," Miss Terry holed a splendid putt at thelast hole, and so secured the match.

FIFTH BOUND.

Lady Margaret Scott beat Miss Terry by six and four to play.Miss I. Pearson beat Miss Carr by four and two to play.

FINAL TIE.

Lady Margaret Scott beat Miss Pearson by seven and five to play.

It will be seen from the matches engaged in by the champion,that she had no difficulty in easily disposing of her opponentsall through the competition. Miss Pearson can play a bettergame than she did in the final, but Lady Margaret's greatsteadiness would take no denial, aud there cannot be theslightest doubt that the best player won. During her stay at


St. Anno's her score seldom exceeded forty-two. It will takea good lady golfer to boat her, and when the next championshiptakes place at Littlestoue this summer, no little excitementwill bo produced in the whole golfing world should LadyMargaret Scott meet with one whose prowess in the " ancientgame " is equal to her own.

Tlio admirable arrangements made by the Lytham and St.Anne's Olub for the comfort of tho competitors were warmlyacknowledged both by Lord Eldon and Mr. Laidlaw Purves,and thus endod tlio Ladios' Oliampionsliip Meeting of 1893.

THE AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP, 1893.AFTEE a lapse of five years, Prestwick was once more thevantage ground for last year's Amateur Championship, and abetter conrse whereon to settle the vexed question of superioritycould not be found. Far and sure driving and deadly ironpitching here have their fitting reward, and the man who winsmust be an adept in every department of the game.

In view of his well-earned victory at Sandwich in May, 1892,Mr. John Ball, jun., was the challenged on the present occasion,and to him did not only all our first-class players, save Mr.Horace G. Hutchinson and Mr. A. M. Boss, throw down thegauntlet, but also several who cannot by any stretch of imagina-tion bu deemed more than handicap players. Thus the musterroll of the challengers was swelled to forty-four, and to obviatebyes in the concluding stages, twenty were allotted in the firstround, those fortunate enough to profit by the ballot findingtheir way into the second ties without a struggle. Of thecracks, Messrs. H. H. Hilton, J. B. Laidlay, F. G. Tait, L. M.Balfour, and A. F. Maefie were thus favoured, but Mr. JohnBall had, as usual, to show fight from the outset.

Tuesday, May 9th, saw the competition started under themost delightful conditious, there being little or no wiud totemper the rays of a sun which shone with almost tropicalsplendour; while the greens, albeit a trifle keen, played verytrue. During the preceding few weeks a few extra hazards hadbeen dotted over the ground where necessary, and altogetherMr. Harry Hart, Prestwiek'.s perennial hon. secretary, had, inconjunction with the clerk of the weather, put his best footforemost to have everything in apple-pie order. But to theplay. The first couple to start were Mr. W. F. Orr and Capt.Livingstone, and, aided in no little degree by his deft handlingof the iron, the old Glasgow player easily accounted for hisgallant opponent. Then Mr. T. B. Pease, who alone represented '

The Amateur Championship, 1893. 45

the north-east of England, effected a mild surprise by drubbingMr. 0. Hutching-s most effectually, the latter being in difficultiesalmost from the start. A walk over for Mr. P. 0. Anderson,the St. Andrews University representative, and an easy win forMr. Harley, hailing from tho Tantallon, North Berwick, led upto a capital set-to between Mr. John Taylor, the young Oarltonplayer, and Mr. David Anderson, of Monifieth, the formerhaving a slight advantage throughout. Immediately in theirwake came Mr. Ball and the local crack, Mr. W. S. Wilson, ofwhom the champion scored first blood at the very start, andincreasing his lead as he went, stood four up with five to play.Mr. Wilson now made a gallant effort to avoid defeat, and wonthree out of the next four holes in great style; but, playing fora half on the home green, Mr. Ball got it, and at the same timehis place in the second round by one hole. Mr. W. B. Taylorand Mr. R. N. Fairlie made a grand match, the struggle beingprolonged to the " Homo " hole, where Mr. Pairlie snatched anarrow win by holing a long steal from the edge of the green.Mr. Muro Forgusson and Mr. F. A. Fairlio easily accounted fortheir opponents, but Mr. " Andy " Stuart had to show his verybest form, as his round of eighty testified, to dispose of Mr. D.Simpson (St. Andrews). Victories for Mr. 0. B. Dick and Mr.C. F. Whighani closed a round which, if devoid of sensationstill hud its interesting features. With the byos thrown in now,tho second round proceeded in tho afternoon, Mr. 0. K. Aitkenopening the ball by an easy win over Mr. Aikman (St. AndrewsThistle), after which Mr. W. Greig and Mr. L. M. Balfour weregiven walks over, through tho absence of their anticipatedopponents. Mr. H. H. Hilton and Mr. F. G. Tait, the hero ofthe longest drivo on record, now took their places at the firstteeing ground, and started on their way with a large following.Mr. Tait opened in great style by securing tho " Cemetery "hole in three, but Mr. Hilton squared matters at the " Short "hole by laying his approach putt dead. The three succeedingholes fell to Mr. Hilton, who now lookod liked scoring an easywin, especially as Mr. Tait threw away au excellent chance ofreducing his leeway at the next green. Tho " Railway" holewent Mr. Tftit's way, however, in three, and, following on anindifferently played half at" Monkton," Mr. Hilton's weak puttinggave Mr. Tait the " Turn " hole. Facing home one to the bad,

The Golfing Annual.

Mr. Tait settled down to his most telling game, and squaredaccounts promptly. Crossing the " Himalayas " well, he forgedahead, and, to cut a long story short, Mr. Hilton never wonanother hole, while Mr. Tait placed to his credit two out of thenext five, and thus won by three up and two to play. Bothvictor and vanquished played a very good game through thegreen, but Mr. Tait was much deadlier at holing out, Mr.Hilton's usual skill at this having seemingly deserted him forthe nonce. Of the six other ties among the bye-holders onlytwo call for special comment, namely, those between Mr. Laidlayand Mr. Macfie, and Mr. Everard and Mr. Prothero. Only theprevious week Mr. Macfie had shown a clean pair of heels to astrong opposition at St. Andrews and Carnoustie, so that it wasconfidently anticipated that in him Mr. Laidlay would have adesperately hard nut to crack; but good judges, who had hadfrequent opportunities of seeing the ex-champion practising forthe competition pooh-poohed the bare idea, and, as the sequelwill show, they were right. Opening with three steadilyplayed halves, Mr. Laidlay, by his magnificent long game,deservedly won the next three holes ; then each in turn won, andout in 37 against Mr. Macfie's 41, Mr. Laidlay stood three up.Coming home he never made the semblance of a mistake, andultimately won easily by six up and five to play, his figures forthe round so far as it went being: Out, 5 3 5 4 2 4 5 4 5 = 37;in, 5 4 5 4 = 18; total for thirteen holes, 55. Mr. Everard andMr. Prothero had a capital tussle for supremacy, but the St.Andrews player pulled through cleverly, despite Mr. Prothero'ssuperior knowledge of the green. The results of the othermatches were nearly all "according to Cocker," but Mr. Ballhad to play much better than in his initial tie before he shookoff Mr. Jolm Taylor, whose deadly putting and iron play weregreatly admired. The brothers R. N. and F. A. Pairlie wereassociated with two very close finishes, but whereas the formersuccumbed to Mr. Mure Pergusson by a hole, the latter beatMr. Alex. Stuart at the last disc.

If scarcely so warm as the previous day, Wednesday waseven a better day for play, and so far the competition hadbeen quite as fortunate in this respect as that at Sandwichthe year before. Sharp to time ( 10.30) the first coupledrove off before a goodly assemblage, but not a follower


had they, the bulk of tho onlookers attaching themselves toMr. Balfour and Mr. Tait, who followed them. Mr. Balfouropened auspiciously by securing the first two holes, Mr.Tait being bunkered off! his iron pitch to the second, but as asimilar fate befell Mr. Balfour driving to the " Cardinal," Mr.Tait got that hole. No fewer than eight successive halved holesbore eloquent testimony to the stubborn and equal nature of theplay, but thanks to his opponent missing a short putt at thetwelfth hole, Mr. Tait squared accounts. Foozling an iron shot,however, at the next hole, Mr. Tait was one down, but for thelast time, as he ran away with three out of tho four succeedingholes, whoro ho had all the luck that was going, and so won bytwo up and ono to play. There was little to choose between thetwo on the play, and had Mr. Balfour got a fair share of theluck the issuo might easily havo gone the other way. Playinggood, steady golf, Mr. R. Adam, the Irvine crack, cleverlydisposed of Mr. L. S. Anderson, tho Abordeon-cum-NorthBerwick representative, and Mr. Bone and Mr. P. 0, Anderson,who also worked thoir way into tho last oight, had similarcharacteristics to roeommend them; but Mr. Laidlay's displayagainst Mr. Evorard—for whom he proved far too heavy ahandful—was quite up to his brilliancy on tho opening day.Next to enter the lints woro Mr. Ball and Mr. Mure Fergusson.A perfect approach to tho iirst greon, whereas his opponent wasshort and trapped in a whin, enabled tho champion to secure thoload ; but ho lost it at the " Short " hole, whore Mr. Pergussonplayed his long putt beautifully. To the " Cardinal," Mr.Pergusson had much the bettor approach, but Mr. Ball, by goodputting, secured a hard half. Weakness at the holo side on Mr.Ball's part enabled Mr. Fergusson to pocket the " Bridge " and"Elysian Fields," and nt tho "Railway" Mr. Ball placed hisprospects in oven greater jeopardy by heeling his drive into thebum, Of course, Mr. Fcrgussou was not slow to profit by hisopponent's slackness, and so stood three up with eleven to go." Monkton Mill" saw Mr. Ball show something like his usualform on tho putting groon, and Mr. Forgusson, being toostrong, had his lead cropped to two. Now came the turningpoint in the game. Bunkered off his drive, Mr. Fergusson, whoonly just got out, placed his third among the bents; while Mr.Ball, with the liko, lay at tho edge of the green, but so

wretchedly weak was his play thereafter that ho took four moreto hole out, and Mr. Fergusson actually won the hole. Anothermiss of a 2ft. putt on the tenth green put Mr. Ball's prospectsin the almost hopeless position of four down and eight to play,albeit, a brilliant approach after a good drive over the" Himalayas," gave his numerous supporters a gleam of comfort.But, alas, another easy putt of a yard was missed at the " Dyke,"and the fourteenth hole saw Mr. Fergusson four up and four togo. Mr. Ball got the fifteenth by a well judged down hill puttof fully 12ft., but it availed him nothing, for the next hole washalved, and his title of champion lost to him (whoever mightwin it) by three up and two to play. Never has he shown moredisappointing form, and many of the spectators who had seenhis magnificent play over the same green in 1890, when he wonthe open championship, could hardly realise he was the sameman. But players are, after all, only human, and even such aconsistent performer as Mr. Ball has his day off. Mr. Fergusson,on the other hand, played his usual determined game, and as aholer out seems every whit as good as of yore. He was deadlame, too, which made his performance the more meritorious,Mr. C. E. Dick was now England's and Hoylake's solitaryrepresentative, and as he gave Mr. F. A. Fairlie a rare dressing,many thought he would avenge Mr. Ball's defeat when he cameto play Mr. Fergusson in the afternoon. This he failed to do,but only by a hole, mainly owing to his finding his ball prac-tically unplayable off a good drive to the last hole. In this tiewe had the vagaries of golf fittingly exemplified, for Mr. Fergus-son, after winning the first three holes off the reel, had his leadwrested from him on the seventh green, and actually had to gettwo out of the last four holes to win. In the other three ties,Mr. P. C. Anderson meted out an unexpectedly severe defeat toMr. D. Bone; Mr. J. E. Laidlay, playing truly perfect golf,easily worsted Mr. Adam, albeit the latter gave an excellentaccount of himself; and Mr. F. G. Tait beat Mr. W. Greig,after a ding-dong struggle, by two up and one to play. Mr.Tait's display was a strange mixture of golf—indifferent andextraordinarily fine. He started by losing the first three holes,but came home so splendidly that he turned the tables as statedabove.

The outlook from a weather point of view on the morning


of Tlmrsday was far from promising, and, as a matter of fact,Mr. Laidlay and Mr. Tait started in a quiet drizzle; but itcleared oil before they reached the fifth hole, and the dayturned out just as line as its predecessors. Playing the firsthole in great style, Mr. Tait got down in four to Mr. Laidlay'sfive; bnt he pitched his iron shot to,the short hole into theburn, and as Mr. Laidlay lay on the green, and holed his longputt, matters were squared. To the " Cardinal" Mr. Taitagain made the acquaintance of the burn, and, never recoveringhimself, lost the hole. By superior approaching and putting,Mr. Laidlay also pocketed the fourth hole, which neither playedparticularly well; but Mr. Tait placed the " Himalayas " to hiscredit. His ball actually carried to within six yards of thedisc ; but his putting was so poor that he required other threeto hole out. Fortunately for him, however, Mr. Laidlay's shortgame was also at sea, and lie took five to reach the bottom.After a fine half in four at the " Elysian Fields," Mr. Laidlaysecured tho " Railway" hole in throe by a long steal, and as healso appropriated tho eighth ho thus early stood three up.Superior putting at tho " Turn," however, enabled Mr. Tait toreduce his leeway to two, and following upon a poorly playedhalf for the first hole in, where both got into difficulties andputted badly, Mr. Tait still further bettered his position attho " Himalayas In," where Mr. Laidlay's iron approach carriedinto tho bouts. Tho " Dyko " Mr. Laidlay also played badly,heeling his toe shot into tho bents, and getting into sand closoto tho wall with his third. By a deft niblick shot he lofted thewall, but Mr. Tait, on the groon in one less, was not to beboaton, and promptly squared accounts. Now on their mottle,both plnyod tho two succeeding holos perfectly, but, taking hisclock for safety to the fifteenth, Mr. Laidlay secured it, andplaced himself one up, with two to play. Mr. Tait was, how-ever, not to be beat, and getting home a long putt on tho nextgroen, honours wore again easy. On tho green at the " Alps "ill two, both got down in four, and, as tho home hole waslikewise halved in a similar figure, the round ended all square.No alternative thus remained, according to the conditions, butto piny on until one or other secured a hole, so with scarcelybreathing .space they .struck off for tho first holo. Both reachedthe green in two, and laid their approach putts almost equi-

B


distant from the hole. It fell to Mr. Tait to play the odd,which missed, and Mr. Laidlay holing the like, qualified forthe final. The other tie in the penultimate round was betweenMr. Mure Fergusson and Mr. P. 0. Anderson. Never separatedby much, the lead alternated until with four to go, Mr. Andersonled by a hole. Two halves followed, but just when every oneexpected Mr. Fergusson to draw level at the "Alps," Mr.Anderson got in a beautiful downhill putt and so retained hisadvantage. Pulling his drive to the last hole, and short withhis approach, Mr. Fergnsson also lost it, and Mr. Andersonwon by two holes. Thus Mr. Laidlay and Mr. Anderson wereleft to play off the final tie in the afternoon. Popular opinionnow indicated Mr. Laidlay as a certain winner of his thirdchampionship, and at the outset it looked as if these hopeswould be fulfilled, for, foozling his second, Mr. Andersondeservedly lost the first hole. Then followed a half, but Mr.Laidlay drove his second into the jaws of the "Cardinal"bunker, and, despite a good recovery, lost the hole and histemporary advantage. Two halves followed, but by a betterapproach Mr. Laidlay got ahead again at the sixth green. The" Railway " saw another hole go his way, but -weakness on thegreen cost him " Monkton Mill," where Mr. Anderson narrowlymissed holing in three; but the latter topping liis second tothe "Turn," Mr. Laidlay placed himself two up again. Foursteady halves now ensued, but superior putting won Mr. Ander-son the fourteenth hole, Mr. Laidlay now standing one up withfour to go. Driving to the seventeenth hole Mr. Laidlay landedin sand, and only managed to get clear a few yards. Mr.Anderson's second was, however, trapped short of the green,and lie took two to extricate himself. Mr. Laidlay's third alsofound its way into the bowels of the bunker to the left of thehole, but, getting well out, he reached the green in four to Mr.Anderson's five. Weak in his putting, Mr. Laidlay took threemore to hole, and Mr. Anderson, getting home at tho firstattempt, squared the match. Topping his drive to the thirdlast hole, Mr. Anderson's prospects looked far from rosy, butby a wonderfully good brassey stroke he reached tho green intwo, where both missed easy putts, and a half in five wascalled. It was now felt that the " Alps" would prove thecrucial hole, as a mistake is scarcely possible at tho "Home" hole,


and so it proved. Both got away good balls, but whereas Mr.Laidlay rather injxidiciously essayed to carry the green in twoagainst the wind, find got bunkered for his pains, Mr. Andersonplayed short with his oleek for safety. His iron pitch over thebunker was rather strong, and lodged in the long grass on thefar side of the green; but from there ho laid his ball dead,and, as Mr. Laidlay lay a bit from the hole in tho like, alldepended on his putt. He took plenty of time, but it wasnever on the lino, and Mr. Anderson stood one up. The lasthole was halved in four, and Mr. Anderson was hailed championamidst loud cheering. On the play the better man won, butMr. Laidlay was palpably out of form, and was very weak onthe green. His stern struggle with Mr. Tait had seeminglyloft its effects, and no wonder. Mr. Anderson, on the otherhand, holed all his putt's save one, and this it was which gavehim his victory. Ho is a student at St. Andrews University,and it was a decided feather in his cap that he should havewon tho championship at tho first time of asking. Until thenMossrs. Hutchinson, Ball, and Laidlay, had monopolised thechampionship, so that Mr. Anderson's win is calculated toinfuse frosh interest into this year's struggle.

MR. PETEH C. ANDERSON,CHAMPION AMATEUR GOLFER, 1893.

To Mr. Peter 0. Anderson, St. Andrews University GolfClub, belongs the distinction of being the first to break themonopoly of amatenr championship honours enjoyed by Messrs.Hutchinson, Ball, and Laidlay.

Known on the classic green of St. Andrews as a steady,reliable player, his gallant Tietory at Prestwick last May camein the light of a genuine surprise to even his intimates, butalthough he was considerably favoured by the draw in theearly Btages of tho amateur championship, his fine steady golfin the final against such a redoubtable opponent as Mr. Laidlay,showed he was made of the true golfing metal. Two downand five to play was a pretty " stey brae " to climb, but the" stoot heart" was there, and victory became his with a holeto spare.

With his blushing honours thick ujiou him, Mr. Andersonentered the lists at St. Andrews the following week to competefor the medal presented by the Royal and Ancient Golf Olubfor competition among the local clubs, and won it with themagnificent score of 80—then a record in medal play, butbeaten by Mr. S. Mure Fergusson's 79, a few months later.In August, Mr. Anderson once more hied him to Prestwick,to take part in the open championship; but he began so badlythat he placed himself out of the running at the outset, albeithe played steadily thereafter. In the nnmerous inter-clubcontests taken part in by his club, Mr. Anderson has onlyonce suffered defeat—a decided feather in his cap, keepingin view the calibre of some of his opponents.

Tall, lithe and supple, Mr. Anderson is yet not a particularlylong driver, but lie excels " through the green," and when onceat the hole side wields his wooden putter in deadly fashion.

MR. P. C. ANDERSON,

Mr. Peter C. Anderson. 55

Unlike his fellow-townsman and champion, Anchterlonie, Mr.Anderson did not start playing until he was in his teens, buthas been a religious attender at the links ever since. Ourportrait is from a photograph Tery kindly taken by Mr. A. F.Maefie specially for the ANNUAL.

THE GOLFING CHAMPIONSHIP, 1893.VEBILY the fates were kind to golfers in the West of Scotlandlast year, and particiilary those who made Prostwick theirheadquarters, for in addition to the Amateur Championship, thePrestwick Golf Club had the honour of carrying out the time-honoured Open Championship as well.

Thursday, 31st August, aud Friday, 1st September, were thedays set apart for the Championship, and with an entry list of threescore and twelve, embracing eYery player—save perhaps DouglasHolland and Messrs. Horace G-. Hntchinson, L. M. Balfonr, andF. G. Tait—with any pretensions to championship form, every-thing augured well. But, alas, on the opening day it rained in themost pitiless fashion from morn till eve, and players, aud thosewhose bnsiness compelled them to be present, had a most un-enviable outing, for, lovely spot as the far-famed Ayrshiregreen may be on a fine summer day when the sun glints onthe peaks of Arran, we can conceive of no more dismal placewhen the rain drives in from the broad expanse of the Firthof Clyde,

Naturally, under the untoward circumstances—tlie worst everexperienced in the history of the competition, said the veteranTom Morris—play could not bo followed as minutely as it oughtto have been, and all concerned were pleased when the lastcouple holed ont at seven o'clock. Many were the chops andchanges as play progressed, and as much doubt surrounded theresult at the close of the day as before the first balls were struckoff. In 1892 at Muirneld, it may be remembered, the com-petition extended over four rounds of eighteen holes each,while a welcome addition to the prize money was made, and itwas satisfactory to find tlie Prestwick Club following on thesame lines. The j>reeedent then established of having a fresh

l'he Golfing Championship, 1893. 57

draw each day was also adhered to, and this was the order ofstarting on the first moiety of the play:

Davie Grant (North Borwiok) and Mr. F. A. lairlie (Preatwiok).A. Hard (Huddersfield) and Bobert Mearna (Aberdeen),Peter M'Ewan, jun. (Musselburgh) and James Kay (Seaton Carew).James Scott (Earlsferry) and John Hunter (Prestwiok).W. J. Taylor (Redcar) and William Lewis (Derby).Mr. G. M. M.

(Earlsferry).John Allan (Prestwiok) and Mr. A. M. Eoss (Tantallon).Mr. T. T. Gray (Royal Musselbnrgh) and Mr. L. S. Anderson

(Aberdeen).Mr. J. E. Laidlay (Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers) and

Hugh Kirkcaldy (Sc. Andrews).E.B.Wilson (Boekenham) and Mr. John Andrew (Prestwick St.

Nicholas).T. Chisholm (Chorleywood) and Mr. H. H. Hilton (Eoyal Liverpool).Mr. Charles Hutchingn (Eoyal Liverpool) and Mr. H. J. Whigham

(Prefltwick).J. While (Nortli Berwick) and D. Clark (Musselburgh).Mr. W. Young (Dundee Advertiser) and it. Jones (Littlehampton).Mr. T. Carmiehael (St. Andrews University) and Archie Simpson

(Carnoustie).W. D. Moro (Choster) and J. Douglas (PollokBhaws).D. Anderson, jun. (St. Andrews) and D. Herd (Hoylake).R. Scott (Carnoustie) and Mr. A. V. Duncan (Kilmalcolm).


At starting, the favourites were Herd, Fernie, Park, thebrothers Kirkcaldy, J. H. Taylor, and Messrs. Ball, Hilton,Laidlay, and Anderson; but of these the last-named speedilyplaced himself out of the running by totalling 93 for his firstround. Taylor had the honour of heading the poll at thecompletion of the first eighteen holes, his score of 75 beingbrilliant in the extreme. Next to him came W. Auchterlowith 78; Mr. J. E. Laidlay, 80; and J. Kay, J. Allan, R. B.Wilson, Mr. 0. Hutchings, R. Simpson, and J. White, eachwith 81. Auchterlonie's scoring was very steady, and, butfor a somewhat indifferent beginning and a tendency to pullhis shots occasionally, Mr. Laidlay would have done evenbetter. Hugh Kirkcaldy, his partner, invariably outdrove Mm,but was hardly so good at the hole side, 83 being his round,as also was Mr. John Ball's, and Andrew Kirkealdy, and WilliePark, with 85 and 82, were well up the list. Nothing but thehardest of luck accounted for Mr. Hilton's comparatively poorreturn of 88. At the Dyke hole in ho came to grief at theback of the wall, and, missing the globe twice, so awkwardlydid it lie, he took 10 strokes to hole out. Several players criedcontent at the end of the first round, and a slight rearrange-ment in the draw became necessary. The feature of the secondround was the falling away of the erstwhile leader Taylor, whowas 14 strokes worse than in his previous essay. Auchterlonie,on the other hand, after an iuauspicions commencement, kept onsteadily, and headed the list at the end of the day with the fineaggregate of 159. Hugh Kirkcaldy and Mr. John Ball were theonly two who registered scores of under 80, and they in conse-quence tied for secoud place with J. Kay and R. Simpson,neither of whom made many mistakes. Herd and Mr. Laidlayalso played steadily, Mr. Hilton considerably improved hisposition, and Willie Park the reverse. Fernie also fell sadlyaway, and so put himself completely out of court.

The first moiety of the play had left the destination of thechampionship in such a very doubtful position, the leadingthirteen players being only separated from first to last by tenstrokes, with W. Auchterlonie, the youthful St. Andrews' pro-fessional, three strokes ahead, that the interest was considerablyintensified when the final stage was entered upon on the morningof Friday, Sept. 1. Fortunately, the weather conditions were

The Golfing Championship, 1893. 59

much more favourablo than on the previous day, for, althoughthe outlook was gloomy and depressing for a time, a freshbreeze from the north-west blew the clouds away, and playwas carried through under thoroughly enjoyable conditions.As already indicated, a fresh draw was made for the secondday, and the following was the order in which the players weredespatched by Charlie Hunter, the Prestwick green keeper,who ably assisted Mr. Harry Hart, the hon. secretary, in hisarduous duties :

Willie Park, jnn., and Mr. Charles Hutohinga.Tom Morris and Mr. D. Anderson.John Hunter and J. H. Taylor.W. Anchterlonie and Peter M'Bwan, jun.D. Herd and Jack Simpson.James Kay and Davie Grant.Mr. A. F. Duncan and Mr. 6. G. Smith.William M'Ewan and Archie Simpson.J. Douglas and Mr. John Andrew.J. Lloyd and Mr. W. Still.Mr. T. T. Gray and Mr. A. M. ROBS.Walter Anderson and Mr. B. T. Boothby.Mr. G. M. M. Eennie and Mr. E. D. Prothero.B. B. Wilaon and Eornaid Sayei-s.Mr. H. H. Hilton and Mr. J. E. Laidlay.W. D. More and Jolin Allan.David M'Ewan and W. Duncan.Mr. S. Muro Forguason and Hugh Kirkcaldy.Mr. C. F. Wlrigliam and Douglas M'Ewan.Mr. L. S. Andorson and George Sayers.Mr. T. Carmidlmel and Mr. A. Lawaon.Mr. F. A. Fairlie and Mr. H. J. Whigham.T. Vardon and Alexander Herd.'A. Lumsden and Ben Campbell.Mr. John Taylor and R. Jones.Bob Simpson and K. Soott.Andrew Kirkcaldy and T. Chisholm.David Andorson, jun., and Mr. W. Young.Mr. P. 0. Anderson and J. White.Willie Campbell and H. Vardon.Mr. John Ball, jun., and Bobert Mearns.Willie Fernie and W. Aveston.

The first couple to attract attention were J. H. Taylor andJ. Hunter, many expecting something sensational from theWinchester man ia view nf his grand beginning; but he cameto grief at the railway at the very start, and, although he droveaud approached steadily thereafter, an occasional slip on the

60 Tlie Golfing Annual.

putting green did not improve his score, and with 86 he fellfurther behind. Immediately behind him came Auchterlonie,who likewise fell foul of the railway, and lost a stroke thereby,but afterwards kept up a wonderfully steady game, and handedin 81. Just as steady play was shown by Kay and Bob Simpson,who each finished in 80, while the brothers Kirkcaldy kept-wellto the front with 82 each. The match between those old oppo-nents, Messrs. Laidlay and Hilton, perhaps aroused the mostexcitement, Mr. Laidlay, with 80, having two strokes the betterof the argument. The outward nine holes Mr. Laidlaynegotiated grandly in 38, and, but for the restlessness of an.onlooker, who completely spoiled his approach to the " Turn"hole, he would certainly have been one less. Mr. Hilton at thisstage was five worse—bad luck at tho " Cardinal" hole, wherehis approach was found close to tho wall, being accountable fortwo strokes at least. Coming home, however, he showed hisvery best form, and wiped three strokes from his deficit. Stillit was clearly evident that the championship was now to changehands, as Mr. Hilton, play he never so well, could not hope towin. Great things were expected from his companion in arms,Mr. Ball, who played his first eight holes almost faultlessly,but he fell sadly away on the next green, which he overran withhis fourth stroke, and it took him three more to get to thebottom. Coming home, his putting was frequently at fault,several short putts being missed, and his card showed 84. I twas left to Herd to supply the sensation of the round, a fault-less 78 landing him in second place, only a stroke behindAuehterlonie, and he became a strong favourite in consequence.The leaders were now: W. Auchterlonie, 240 ; A. Herd, 241;J. Kay and Bob Simpson, each 242; Mr. Laidlay, 243 ; HughKirkcaldy, 244; and Mr. Ball. 240.

Of these, Anchterlouie started first on the concluding roundwith a large following. His opening was again unpromising,but he made few mistakes thereafter, and holed out in 82, thusmaking his aggregate for the four rounds the excellent one of322. This gave the cue to his most dangerous antagonists as towhat they had to do to win, but in the cases of Herd andSimpson this very knowledge seemed to be hurtful. Herd playedexcellent golf with none the best of tho luck for ten holes, but,crossing the " Himalayas " coining home, he dropped two strokes


when most thoy wore required by weak approaching 1aud putting,and finally extinguished his oliauoo of winning by foozling Msapproach into tho bunker which guards the fourteenth hole. Hegot well out, howovor, and lipped the hole with his iron pitch;but the lost stroke could not. bo recalled, and, taking nineteon totho next four holos, his aggregate totalled three more thanAuchtorlonio's. Simpson ALSO fell off a good bit in tho outwardhalf, and ovontnally Mod with Kay for sixth place witli 327, theSeatou Oarow profossional ooming to griof in tho " Cardinal"bunker, and approaching tho " Turn" hole, whereby half adozen shots woro dropped. Mr. Jmidlay, on tho other hand,presorvod his form to tho close, and made a splendid bid forvictory, but it was not to bo, and all ho got for his troublo wasthe unenviable post of " runner up "•—a position ho occupied ontho same green in the previous May, when Mr. P. 0. Andersonunexpectedly won tho amateur championship. Mr. Laidlay'saggregate was two worse than Anohterlonie's, but it ought onlyto have boon ono, as a simple putt was missed at the last holo.Wo fancy, howovor, Mir. Laidlay did not care much, as ho knowho had lost by that liimo. Only Mr. Ball had now to bo rockonodwith, but it WAH not anticipated that ho would alter tho result.And HO it turned out, for he again proved far oil' his usual form,andeven hoforo ho finisliod Aiiohtorlonio was congratulated on nillinnds us t he winner, His victory was ontiroly unoxpootod, butnoun tho IOHH deserved, and his steady play is eloquentlytestified to by Mm fact that he headed tho poll on tho first dayalso. In the cloning round Andrew Kirkoaldy and BernardSavers showed splendid golf, and both in consequence, workedtheir way well u]) tho prize list. On tho other hand, Park andFerine cut up very disappointingly, and have never shown worseplay. Prior to tho championship both were in grand fettle, sotheir breakdown was inexplicable. The result was a completetriumph for Scotch, and particularly St. Andrews', golf, but withsuch players as Messrs. Hall and Hilton, and Taylor, Moore,and the brothers Vardon, England must still be markeddnngorons. Persistent bad luck dogged Mr. Hilton throughout,and Taylor's inexperience can be urged as an OXCUHO for hiscomparative breakdown after his grand beginning. Withincreased confidence, he ought to go much closernoxt year. Thoarrangements for the carrying out of the contest worn excellent,


and we must in connection therewith tender our thanks to Mr.Harry Hart for his uniform kindness and courtesy.

W. AUCHTERLONIE, ST. ANDREWS

W. AITCHTERLONIE, ST. ANDREWS,CHAMPION GOLFER, 1893.

YOTJTH will be servod is an adage which is being exemplifiedaround us almost daily in every branch of sport, but lessfrequently in golf than any other. The subject of our sketchis a notable exception, for it falls to the lot of few golfers tocarry off the blue ribbon of the royal and ancient gamewithin a month of attaining their majority. Nor can it be saidthat Anchterlonie's victory was a snatch one, for he ran thegauntlet of criticism splendidly at Prestwick last Autumn, andplayed steadily and well on both days over which the contestextended.

Born at St. Andrews on 10th August, 1872, he has golfedae long as ho can remember, and such a keen devotee has hebeen from the start, that he usod frequently to betake himselfto the east sands and play there in the summer months whenthe links were crowded. It may thus bo said with truth thathe is a bom golfer, like his four brothers, all of whom arescratch players in the St. Andrews Golf Club.

So far as first-class golf is concerned, Auchterlonie's win inthe championship last year was only his third appearance, hehaving made his debut in the championship at St. Andrewstwo years previously, when he finished eighth to Hugh Kirk-caldy; while he took part without success in the MusselburgkTournament in the autumn of 1892. The week after hischampionship victory he essayed success in the MusselburghTournament for tho second successive year, aud finished wellup. Auchterlonie, like all the St. Andrews' professionals is along and accurate driver; he also putts steadily, and withyouth on his side must be reckoned with in all future com-petitions.

Auchterlonie is a practical club-maker, having servod hisF 2

apprenticeship with Messrs. R. Forgan and Son, St. Andrews,and can make clubs quite as well as he wields them. Towardsthe close of last year he started business with one of hisbrothers and Mr. Orosthwaite, and from what we hear theyoung firm have a long and prosperous career before them.

IRISH AMATEUR CHAMPION SHIP, 1893.

T H E second opon Amateur Championship, under tho auspicos oftho Golfing Union of Ireland, was decided over tho conrso oftho County Down Golf Club at Nowcantlo, on Wodnosday,Thursday, and Friday, 13tli, lUh , and 15th September, 1893.In 1892, Mr. Alox. Stuart, captain of the Honourable Companyof Edinburgh Golfora, had the honour of enrolling himself astho first Ir ish champion, and to him on tho present occasionthirty-four players, bailing principally from Scotland, throwdown tho gauntlet, while Mr. John Bftll, jnn,, one of the fowEnglishmen who crossed tho Channel, fovmod a host in himself.Twouty-iiinn byos woro allotted in tho lirnt round to provnntthoir recuvroneo (hereafter, HO only half a do/.on playovs had tofight for their placoHin tho HOCOIHI round, Horn play bogati ingrim oiiriu'Hl,( mil two Hiii'pi'iHCH wont offoclod ; Mr. JohnTaylor, the crack rOdinburgh ('nrllon ])ln.ynr, beating Mr. Alex.Stuart, tlio holder, by nix up mid IIvo to play, wbilo rathorsingularly his younger hpolhor, Mr. W.

The penultimate round left Mr. L. S. Anderson and Mr. Ballto do battle in the final, which formed the bill of fare for thelast day. In it Mr. Anderson showed up rather poorly, andMr. Ball won all the way. His success, it is needless to say,was Tery popular, and it was pleasing to note his return to hisold form after his somewhat indifferent displays at Prestwiekin the Open and Amateur Championships.

GOLF IN ISLAY.By JOHN KIBB, M.A., Dirleton.

Columbus with club and ball discovered Islay as a newworld for golfers I cannot say. I imagine he was one who,wearied with the eternal "fore ! " which is heard on so manygolf courses, and seeking quietness and rest while he enjoyeda golfing holiday, set out in the company of a few cronies andsighted this desirable country. Islay is just the ideal of aplace for a quiet golfing holiday, where work and worry can beforgotten, where there is plenty of fresh sea-air and sea-bathingfor those who wish it ; plenty to eat and drink at a moderatecost, and where the golfer has a green that will test his playas thoroughly as any that can be named. The island thushappily discovered to the golfor has an interest of its own thatmakes it well worthy of a visit. It was the capital of theLords of the Isles in feudal times; and when feudalisin andthe clan system gave way to more civilised ways of government,the island had Home Eulo for a considerable period, a localParliament managing its affairs and making and administeringlaws regardless of the Imperial Parliament. N"ow, however,Islay accepts the Queou's writ, although she wears her oldtitle " Queen of the Hebrides." If the laws of St. Stephen'sare discarded for those of St. Andrews on the golf green, sheis quite as loyal for all that as any part of the Empire wherethe people have taken to golf.

An obelisk on the summit of Cuoc-na-Diib, to the memoryof John Francis Campbell, is a touching witness to the affec-tionate regard in which the islanders held the enthusiastic andamiable Iain Og He ("Young John of Islay"). Campbell'sgreat work " Popular Tales of the West Highlands" showshow much poetry and romance abound in the district. Thefolk-lorist has here a most delightful field. More than one poet

Qolf in Islay. 73

of a bygona ago has immortalised "the maid of Islay," and thegolfer, if ho be poetical, will find a Helicon in the island if fairfeatures and witching graces touch his soul as they ought to do.Then "ever-charming ever new" Nature is here at her verybest. Sea and shore, mountain and sky, hill and valley, withall that tho clouds and sunshino, the storm and calm that heroaltornato so fitfully can make of these and their comminglings,render Islay and its surroundings, a perfoct Elysium for theartist. If ambition soar higher ovon than Naturo, and one wouldgain perpetual youth by imbibing tho nectar of tho gods, is notIslay our Olympus whoro the socrot is revealed, and whero, inthe ravines of Lagwulin, Buimahabhain, and fifty others thatface the soa, tho mountain dew gently distils itself in qualitylike that of mercy, " not strained" and "blessing him thatgives and him that takes." I hold it right never to encouragetho golfer who livos for golf alono, and in it "moves and hashis being." Tho gamo is a grand one, but much of its grand-ness is made up of tho surroundings in which it is played. Tothose ovory golfer should have regard. Ho should know andtake an interest in tho country whero, for tho timo being, hopursues IHH favourite rocroaiion, in its natural aspects, itspeople, itH historical ttHsociutions, itn spirits, if it have any.Depend upon it, he will bo both a bettor man and a betterplayer for HO doing. Therefore have I hinted at somo of thetransgollinn attractions of May.

But now li>t mn do u little bit of Cook or Gara, in tho way of" poi'Honally conducting " him to the Links of Inlay. It seemaa " far cry," lint when I miy thai, 1 had a round of tho Braidsone morning and the noxt morning a round of the Islay courso,the golfer will see that this is not .so. I took the train atEdinburgh >it mid-day, got the bout for Inlay (the Islay) atGroonoek Pier about 4.30 p.m., and, after a fine sail, oven theMull of Unntyro giving no trouble, landed at Port Ellenbetween one and two o'clock in the morning. Tho more usual,and perhnpn tho inoro satisfactory plan, is to avoid tho Mull,and take pannage by tho Columba to Bast Tarbnrt. LeavingGlasgow at 8.;(() a.m., thin popular passenger steamer, whososailingH nro always woll advertised, roadies East Tarbert atnoon. Then™ by coach tho piwwongor in a quarter of an houror so is landed across the Isthmus at West Tarbert, whore he


joins the Glencoe, the other Islay steamer, and in a matter offour hours or so, completes the journey to Port Ellen.

The Islay Links are three miles from Port Ellen, but thisplace the golfer may regard in the meantime as the end of hisjourney. The best hotel at Port Ellen is undoubtedly the" White Hart," of which an illustration is here given, fromwhich the golfer may see how commodious and comfortable aplace it is. Hero is also a portrait of mine host of the " WhiteHart," Mr. Lachlan M'Cuaig. Both of those we are sure will bevalued by all who have golfed at Islay, or may yet have thatpleasure. With Mr. M'Cuaig it would be well to have commu-nication, and secure a berth at the hotel before the journey isbegun. This gentleman has beon one of the chief promoters ofgolf in Islay, and, as he is Treasurer to the club, and takes anenthusiastic interest in its welfare and in all that concerns golfand golfors, lie is tho man to get hold of at the outset. His finepresence is woi'thy of tho title he has by common consentrocoivort—"Admiral of the Port." Ho is tho chief man of theplace—County Councillor, School Board member, VolunteerMajor, Auld Kirk Elder, and what not. You soon get to seehow ho has tho confidence of everybody in the place, for hehas a kind word for everybody, and a kindly regard for every-thing good that w said or done at Port Ellen. Mr. M'Cuaigis thoroughly versed in tho history and geography of Islay, richin humorous stories and racy anecdotes, so that under hisauspices a holiday here has additional delights. His chief defectis that ho is a bachelor, but his sister and cousin make visitorsfool thoroughly at home by the way in which their comforts areattended to. If you liavo not tho display at table that you haveat some, of our big fashionable hotels, you have everythingsubstantial and good, and the hotel is not one of the spider andfly kind, whore the blood of the poor tourist is sucked during theseason, the charges for everything being extremely moderate.As soon as breakfast is over, a brake pulls up at the hoteldoor to take the golfers to the links, and it returns to bringthem home for dinner at 7 p.m. No charge is made for thisdrive to and from the links. As it gives one a good breath ofair and a good viuw of the scenery, it is to some an additionalcharm to golf in Islay. Others, liowover, prefer to live close bythe links, moro especially that they may enjoy a round in the

evening or retire to their don when the rain bursts over thelinks, as it sometimes does with more than ordinary force, givingone a thorough drenching in no time. For such there IA pro-vision m ado at Maehrio House, close to tho links, where golfersaro boarded in comfortable stylo at a charge of from 42s. to 50«.per week. Thero are lots of rooms in tho honse, and it is not tobe let to any one family in future as has sometimes been thecase, so that single golfers or parties of golfers may rely onhaving accommodation. The obliging Secretary of the club, Mr.P. Roid, who is also factor on Kildalton estate, may be writtento beforehand, or application may be made to Mr. M'Cuaig.As the house at Maehrie is not licensed, golfora have, of course,to supply themselves with snch additions to their vivres as areincluded under the liquor licenco. Mr. M'Cuaig will be found asuitable advisor in this rospoct. Now for tho links. These liealong Laggan Bay, which, with its fine expanse of silver sand,is in view from most of the course. Tho blue waters carry theeye away out toward tho Atlantic, which, with the interveningRhinns of Islay, closes tho view to north and west. Inlandthe horizon is bounded by the ragged blue hills not far off, andtoward tlui north-cant tho peaks and " paps " of Jura break thesky-lino. Sometimes tho nit uation reminds one of Maehrihanisli,sometimes of Prestwick mid Troon, Hoylako, and WestwardHo. But Milehrio in not a repetition of any other links; it has acharacter of its own, and for locality and surroundings it willstand comparison with any course, Nature must think humannature "dull i' Hie uptalc." She undoubtedly mado this exten-sive strclch of ground for Hie game of golf as well as for rabbits,and it must have grieved her or amused her to see the longdelay that look pbieo before golf cimie to koep Brer Rabbitcompany.

When at last our golfing Columbus lauded on the "BigStrand," as Liiggan Beach is called, and pitched his tent herethat he might establish tho Royal and Ancient game, ho gotevery encouragement from tin' late Mr. Ramsay, of Kildalton,on whose estate the land lay, this was in the year 1890—WillieCampbell, then at, tho height of his famo, was called in asadviser. Under bis .superintendence tho courso was laid out.It was opened on Friday, May 22nd, 1891, Mr. Ramsay, ofKildalton, driving oil' tho first ball boforo a goodly company of


spectators. Thereafter Campbell and Willie Fernie played agreat inateh of thirty-six holes for 100i. a side, the first overthe new green, in which Campbell, who had the advantage ofknowing the ground, beat his opponent by seven holes up and sixto play. Chiefly through the exertion of Mr. P. J. MacMe, ofLagavulin, a club was formed with a list of influential office-bearers, the Duke of Argyll being Hon. President, Mr. J. "W.Malcolm, M.P., and Mr. Ramsay, of Kildalton, Vice-Presi-dents, Major "Wise, Captain, and the following committee:—Messrs. J. R. Findlay, of Aberlour; Cyril Wintle, London;W. Sanderson, Leith; R. L. Watson, Dundee ; W. A. Robert-son; W. Morrison, Glasgow; and P. J . Mackie. The namesof the Secretary and of the Treasurer we have already given.On theso two gentlemen it has mainly devolved to look afterthe green and the club, and it says much for their attention totheir duties that, without such facilities as are provided in morepopulous places, they have the course in good condition, theputting greens being excellent, and all that is wanted to makethe whole green perfect being only a greater amount of play, awant which, like that of youth, will, we are sure, be less feltevery year according as golfers come to know the attractionsof Islay. The club, which has now a membership of sixty, hasa neat little clubhouse erected at that part of the course whereyou alight after the drive from Port Ellen, which is also thestarting-place. Here there are fifty boxes for clubs. Theannual fee is 10s. (5d., " no deidly," as old Tom would say, whenwe consider that this admits to all the privileges of the clubincluding the use of a box. ' There are generally plenty of bare-footed callants—Donalds, Malcolms, Augusps, all chatteringGaelic—about the clubhouse, ready to carry at ninepenee a round,and if the laddies fail, the lassies take their place, and capitalcaddies they make. Now that you have got a little " nip"before starting and seen the flask and sandwiches which Sandyof the White Hart, had prepared for your lunch safely lockodin one of the boxes, let us sally forth for a round. I havepersonally to take credit (or blame) for getting the order of theholes on Machrie course slightly altered since Willie Campbelllaid it out. At the opening match between him and Fernie,and up till last season, the first hole was toward your left asyou emerge from the clubhouse—that grand "Island" hole

Golf in Islay. 77

•which I should say is unsurpassed on any course in the world.As it forma such a unique foaturo in the course, and gonorallymakos or mars tho score, I thought it a pity that its negotiationshould be brought off just at tho commencement of a roundbeforo one has got the arms stretched, and suggosted that itshould be rosorvod as a bonne louche till near tho closo. Inthis I got tho approval of Mr. A. Stuart, the captain of theHonourable Company, who was paying a visit to the greon, andthe club has given efioot to tho suggestion and made this theseventeenth, tho round ending at what used to be tho socondhole, now as the eighteenth and last, vory appropriately called" Tlie Grave." The round now starts at what used to beNo 3, and I shall givo tho distance of oach hole and someexplanation of oach namo, leaving you to your caddio and yourown observation to fill in such particulars regarding tho courseas you think nocossary to supplomont what I may givo as wogo along.

1. TEXA (270 yards).—"Toxa" means " Touching," and thonamo is given to this hole on account of its being placod closoto tho site of an old school at which many of the Inlay pooplowho lira still alivo wore educated. Tlio building lias boon ooin-plotoly romovoc.1 with tho exception of a few of (.ho smallerstones and portions of Hum.

A good drive,keepingrather to tho loft, and im accurate iron or mashie shot securefor you a comfortable four cm a beautiful putting-green,

3. LAO (278 yards).—The namo moans " hollow," and indi-cates tho position of Uio putting-green. You swipe off from aheight, and have a capital opportunity for displaying your farand sure driving power, I he left lining the sai'oi" error if youuro not quite. straight. Trooll players toll us that this holereminds thorn forcibly uf tlio end holes of their home-groen.

4. THE "SOOTSMAN'H" MAIDUN (.'350 yards),—This is not aGaelic title, but one given in recognition of the great interostwhich Scotland's chief newspaper him from tho first taken in


golf at Islay, its correspondent (Mr. W. Croal) being one of themost able writers on the game, and a f requent visitor to Machrie.The " Maiden," as at Sandwich, causes many a golfer to lose hisheart, so powerful are her embraces, but the Scotsman's Maidenis more likely so-called because she causes her wooer to lose hishead as her namesake of yore used to do.

5. MANIPTJB (268 yards).—Another maiden, but why sonamed the historian deponeth not. Let us suppose it is to thehonour of the gallant lady whose heroism has lately made thename familiar. The hole here is a fine specimen of the blindkind of which there are many at Machrie, and as at No. 4, the" deil" is to the right and the deep sea to the left, or vice versa,and he must walk warily to do holes 4 and 5 in 4 and 4, butthe doing thereof is easy enough if heart and head are proofagainst each maiden's charms.

6. GLENEGEDALE (380 yards).—The name is that of theadjoining farm. On putting out here we quit the route alongthe shore of Laggan Bay and turn inland. When Campbelllaid out the course he made an alternative hole on a greenfurther on and on the other side of Glenegedale river, whichwould give 750 yards for the 6th, and 620 yards for the nextor 7th hole. It does not appear that this abnormal distanceis likely to be adopted for either hole, but occasionally thegolfer might have a trial thereof for variety's sake. As thesecretary remarks, " It would be the occasion of some Biblelanguage being used, but it would also give rise to a good dealof fun."

7. PUNCH BOWL (210 yards.)—The name here needs noexplanation. The long driver easily gets a three by landing onthe green, and even the indifferent player may expect that figurenow and then if his second shot is fortunate in its fall. Here, ason several other greens, the ridges may be seen that point todays when crofters dwelt in the neighbourhood, and cultivatedthe hollows, while their "beasties" grazed on the heightsclose by.

8. HEATHER HOLE (295 yards).—So-called because of theshort heather that covers the ground and makes with its purplebloom a very pretty variation in the course. It does not interferemuch with the lie of the ball, and a good second, with cleek orbrassy, again brings us to a fine green in another but much

wider hollow, whore on a hot day it is voiy toinpting to trysome Islay uoctar in tho shadow of tho sloping banks.

9. W I L L I E ' S FANCY (320 yards').—Prior to "Willio Campbelllaying out tho course another worthy Willio had, it sooms, fixedon tho samo place for a putting greon, HO tho name stands inhonour of both. Tho holo is a delightful ono, and thero is notmuch wrong if you are down in a 5.

10. SHOUT HOLE (158 yards).—This is tho only holo whore adriver nood not bo used at tho too, an indication of the scopethere is for play over tho Machrio course. I persuadod theofficials to make a bunker in front of tho groen, which makestho holo niovo difficult than it used to bo when it was all plainaround and wont by tho namo of " Tho Duffers' Delight."

11. DEUIM (247 yards).—Tho name moans " Ridgo," and isan indication of the nature of tho ground.

12. IMEB (320 yards).—Tho word " Iraor " moans " Rig andfurrow," and tho groan hero again indicates former cultivation;tho old rig and furrow marks, as at Muirfiold, rather improvingtho tost of good putting.

13. MACHBIE (250 yards).—This is a capital sporting holo,reminding US in sonic roHpoolH of the 17th at Prostwick, Aftera nico drivo, niashio or iron luis to gut, (ho ball ovor a highhazard, and land it on the groon adjoining Mnehrio Farm, whoroa fVw playoi'H will generally bo soon watching thoir neighboursand routing nfter an oarly round.

15. (TRIANAN (280 yards).— How safety iH in driving ratherto the right, for on the loft woo betide I lie ball if it does carrytho rivor and the valley. Tho hole is named from a place closeby tho greon.

80 The Golfing Annual.,

17. KINTBA (404 yards).—The name Kintra is given fromthe farm adjoining, t a t local players gcnorally call it " MountZion." As the green is entirely surrounded by bunkers, it hasbeen called Bilan (the Island). This name, however, may moreappropriately be applied to the green on the island at themouth of Grlenmachrie rivor, which is reached by the length-ening of the sixth hole. I have no hesitation in giving Kintrathe palm of the holes on Machrie course. I t is a glorious hole.The club should do all they can to keep the height on whichthe green is placed from crumbling down, as it is in danger ofdoing. It is possible to get a four on Kintra by a perfect secondBhot, but the player may be quite happy if, after escaping alldanger, he is safe in the disc after even two more than that.

18. THE GRATE (250 yards).—On the edge of this greenthere is an artificial mound which is believed to mai-k the lastresting-place of a number of shipwrecked sailors. Theapproach is over a sandy road-rut, or road with deep cart tracksand high banks. By the tiino this last hazard has been crossedand the " Grave " safely reached, the golfer may congratulatehimself if he has gone round the eighteen holes without havinghis ideal score shipwrecked at some point or other.

So interested have my friend and I been in tho scenery andthe Gaelic names, that I can scarcely tell how the match stoodor what were our scores. But he agrees with ma that Machrieis a splendid golf course, affording a thorough test of play, andthat no better place could be found to spend a quiet and profit-able golfing holiday. We shall be there again, and I hope eachseason we shall find tho number of local players increasing, andthe links becoming more widely known to the golfers of distantparts. Machrie may some day become like " the lave "—over-crowded, but meantime, while you have never to cry "fore!"but to the Highland cattle and sheep who have not yet acknow-ledged the rights of golf and golfer, this is the most delight-some links you can visit, and this is written that others mayhave the pleasure which the writer has had of a golfing holidayin May.

Boasting Bill—The Bruntsfield Crack 81

BOASTING BILL-THE BEUNTSFIELD CBACK.

A Lay of the First Professional Golf Tournament.

By Mr. BONAID Eoss, Edinburgh.

BOASTING BILL would a champion be,And he swore a mighty oath, did he,That the golfing: world would soon him seeAt the topmost branch of the golfing tree.

Now Boasting Bill lived in an ageWhen golf was neither a passion nor rage,And men had no common field or stageOn which their rival merits to gauge.

The golf elul) at Prostwick—aye, honoured be its name-Gave a bolt to bo won by the best at the game ;And for such honour to assert their claim?even worthy champions of golfingdom came.

The first wns a player from Blackheath town,The fame of whoso feats to each green had flown;Though great was his merit and high his renown,Said Boasting Bill, " T shall do him ' Brown.' "

Rook Andrews, too, from Perth there was,Whose game seemed to please the aristocras;Said Boasting Bill, " ho may play with his Daws,An' the Rook rooks me, I shall know the cause."

The "links that such noblo records hath,"St. Andrews, sent the brilliant Strath ;I int Boasting Bill said in his wrath—" I'll swoop him like worm from my path."

Musselburgh sent Park, best golfer then known,Since the matchless Toper to Hades had gone;Said Boasting Bill, ''he's a golfer good, I own,I'll be sorry to defeat him, but duty must be done."

Charlie Hunter and Tom Morris wero both conjoinedTo beat the golfing talent against them combined ;" Let Prestwick to this pretender's defeat be resigned.And old Tom in mo a stronger spirit shall find.

82 The Oolfing Annual.

" Now Smith, dear friend, we two are here,To represent the green that we both hold so dear ;That Bruntsfield shall beat all the field, that's clear,But my form is better than yours, I fear.

" Now here, by the grace of mercy divine,My surety of victory to you I resign ;And the champion belt that I looked on as mineI'll help to gird round that waist of thine."

Such a generous action might equalled be,But has never been excelled in golf historee ;'Twas a deed that one only would expect to seeIn the page of ancient ohivalree.

Then Boasting Bill turned sadly asideFor a house that balm for grieved souls did provide :Where his little finger did upwards slide,While the liquid he loved down his throat did glide.

When the name of the winner was proclaimed next day,Boasting Bill was overheard to say—"' Of this Park they wouldn't be making so much hay.If I had not given myself away."'

GOLF AT FRASERBURGH.ALTHOUGH the Fraserburijh Golf Club was only resuscitatedin 1882, the game has been played upon Fraserburgh Links bydevotees in the town and district for more than one hundredyears. Some of the ancestors of the present Lord Saltounwore enthusiastic golfers, and they, in addition to many of theneighbouring landed gentry, regularly frequented FraserburghLinks generations ago, and engaged in matches. As someindication of the estimation in which the game was held, itmay bo mentioned that thirty or forty years back New Year'sDiiy was entirely devoted to golfing, and on that occasion alargo number of the natives of the adjacent fishing villages—no moan players in their day—met a selected team of theinhabitants on tho links of Frasevburgh to do battle for a fixedsum of money. On completion of the match, victors andvanquished adjourned to the leading alehouse, whore the sumat stake was duly consumed ill liquor, and the match "playedover again," at times ill the most uproarious manner.

Until 18!)1 play was confined to a six and sometimes a nine-hole count!) on tho Fraserburgh Links, but, owing to the crowdedslate of Iliis public common, and the danger to pedestrians, &c,golfers wore obliged to look farther afield. They approachedLord Saltoun on tho subject, and ho readily and handsomely[ililcod tlio Pliilorfh links and bents ftt their disposal, wherethe local club's operations arc now carried on, unmolested byanybody. The course is one of eighteen holes—two miles outand t wo in—free from crossings or zig-zags. The first tee is atthe Kelhock Burn, about a quarter of a mile from FraserburghRailway Station. The hazards are bunkers and bents, and forvariety, in the shape of up and down hill play, the course willmoot tho wishes of tho most exacting. The view from the topof tho Corbie Hill (,100ft. high), where tho sixth and thirteenthholes are placed, could scarcely be excelled. The beach and

a 2


sands of Fraserburgh are probably the finest on the east coastof Scotland, and viewed from the Corbie Hill in the herring-

fishing season, with 600 or 800 large boats sailing in the bay,'twixt Kinnaird Head and Oairnbuly Point, the picture isa very beautiful and animating one. A good deal of work yetremains to be done on the course, especially towards improvingthe greens. At the close of last year the members were makingarrangements for raising money for actively carrying outimprovements on a large and complete scale. When the workspecified has been executed, tho course will bo one of the mostinteresting and attractive in tho north of Scotland. There aretwo or three first-class hotels in the town.

MORTONHALL GOLF CLUB.By ME. D. W. WALKER, S.S.C., Hon. Secretary.

T H E course is a private one, situated immediately outside thesouthern boundary of the City of Edinburgh, on that part ofthe Braid Hills belonging to the estate of Mortonhall. It iswithin fifteen minutes' walk of Morningside Road Station onthe Suburban Kaihvay, where cabs can be had, and from whicha brake runs to the clubhouse on the arrival of trains. Thecourse, originally one of nine holes, afterwards increased tofourteen, is about to be extended to eighteen holes, twenty acresof adjoining growid having recently been added for that purpose.This additional ground will, it is expected, be opened in thespring of this year, and when by continuous play it gets intothe same trim as the existing ground, the course will be in allrespects an admirable one. As an inland green, Mortonhallis at present second to none. The turf is of the finest qualityand provides capital greens. From start to finish there is avariety in the play, the ground being rich in almost every kindof hazard both natural and artificial. The course gains muchi f its charm from tile picturesque nature of the ground and itssurroundings. The valley between the Braid Hills and thepolicies of Mortonhall—along which the outward portion ofthe course extends—forms a delightful sylvan retreat, whilefrom the higher ground of the homeward journey are to bei id magnificent views of the city and western landscape. Thecourse lias received generous treatment at the hands of thecluli. in order that its advantages might be fully reaped, andnothing which tended to its improvement has been left undone.Xo less than ten of the putting greens have been levelled andrclaid. In November last, during the progress of excavationsat the " Saddle ' green, the workmen came upon six rude stonecoffins about two feet from tin- surface. In one of these a skulland some bones were discovered, but the others contained only

a coating of fine dust at the bottom. Tho success of the clubhas beon so phenomenal that, although the membership has beentwice enlarged, there are still 200 candidates waiting foradmission. The clubhouse which, with its furnishings, cost over1200Z., has already been found somewhat small, and there is atpresent under consideration a proposal for an enlargement whichwill provide every convenience, not only for the existingmembership, but for a future increase in numbers should thatbe deemed expedient. Bach member may introduce a visitorto play once a week, or a guest twelve times a year, except onSaturday afternoons and public holidays.

SOME POINTS OF COMPARISON BETWEENGOLF AND OTHER GAMES.

By Mr. JOHN ANDEBBON, Eoyal Mnsselburgh Golf Club.

IT must at first sight have been the cause of some surprise tothose who have only recently taken to the game to learn thatgolf should be absolutely devoid of rules regulating what maybe termed the essentialia of play. No doubt there are rules,tolerably volnminous, and divided, like " all golf," into threeparts, but these, oxeepting the one rule which regulates the sizeof the hole, affect only the mode of play. Save in these parti-culars, the game is entirely left to the good sense, or caprice, asthe case may be, of the players themselves, individually orcollectively. Rule No. 2 of the St. Andrews code informs usthat " The game consists in each side playing a ball from a teeinto a hole by successive strokes, and the hole is won by the sideholing its ball in the fewest strokes, except as otherwise pro-vided for in the rules. If two sides hole out in the samenumber of strokes, the hole is halved." All the other rules,with the exception before noticed, and so far as not explanatory,provide more or less imperfectly for what the player, after hehas got under weigh, is to do or is not to do in the event of hisball {retting into the conditions there presupposed. If regardhe had to other games, it will be found that matters are quitedifferent so far as they are concerned, The implements used inplay, and what may be culled the field of play, are all subject tohard and fast regulation. Take a few of the best knownoutdoor games. In cricket, the size of the bat, the size of theball, the height and breadth of the wicket, and the length of thepitch are strictly denned. In football, the size of the field andthe height and position, of the goal-posts ai'e carefully specified,and in like manner is the hall the subject of regulation. Inlawn tennis, the courts must be of a specified size, and the net acertain height. Examples might be multiplied, but the above

probably suffice. In golf, however, there are no equivalentregulations. Tho golf clubs and balls know no law. Golfers, orrather those who call themselves by this name, play with allsorts and conditions of implements, from the real good old-fasliioned club of the time of Philp, somewhat modified nodoubt, to suit the change in the character of the play, to thingslike ill-conditioned hammers and mole-catchers' spades. Thecoinage of the realm, has even been requisitioned for the purposeof playing stiinies, but this was—in ono case at least—rightlydecided to lie "not golf." Nor is even the important matter ofthe links in any way defined. Hore we have- the greatestimaginable variety, and every time a notice appears in thenewspapers that a new course has been opened the public areassiduously informed that it is or will soon be one of tho finestiu Britain. This seems to apply the more pointedly to inlandcourses, especially if they arts largely composed of precipitoushills, liberally interspersed with heather, trees, stones, barbedwire fences, cows, and hazards of this nature.

The question naturally arises to a speculative mind, Is golfthe better or the worse for lack of rules such as those aboveivftwed to P Now the difference in character of all the varionsclubs and balls used dues not appear materially to affect theplay ; that is to say. any player will make as good a score using(inly ordinary golf dubs as lie will if armed not only with these,but also with all the patents that have been invented betweenthe days of Roger "lo grand rholeur " and now. In fact, themore clubs, patent or otherwise, he plays with, the less chancelms he of being skilled iu the use of eiich, and hence the fewerand (he simpler, his eluhs tho mure command should he havenver (hem, and the better should be his game. It is well knownthat many splendid games have been played by golfers usingonly a elcek. It may therefore be assumed that no restrictionupon the character of golf clubs would lie advisable. In golfclubs, the law oi' survival of the fittest will probably weed ontimplements that are patented merely for side.

Varied as they are, the variety of golf clubs is a mere patchupon the differences in the nature of golf links. In all thehundreds of greens scattered over the face of the civilisedworld no two are alike. Accordingly, particular players are tobe found excelling upon particular greens. Thus the bug round

90 The Golfing Annual. Iof St. Andrews suits the school of powerful drivers for whichthat green has been aud is so much and so justly noted, while ona green like North Berwick, the player who can pitcli his ballprettily over walls, though only a medium driver, has the bestlook in. Again, tho hazards and the nature of them make auimmense difference, and even the turf of the links and thesubsoil tell upon the play. When a golfer who knows the linksreads of a medal having- been won at St. Andrews with, a scoreof 80, he knows that the winner must have played brilliant golf;but when he roads of a medal having been won with a similarscore on a green he lias just heard of and never seen, he does notknow whether the play has been good, bad, or indifferent. It iseven difficult to ascertain the calibre of the medallist by com-paring his score with the record of the green, because thatrecord may have been made under different conditions. It isonly when he knows what the round should be done in that hecan form any opinion. It will bo seen, therefore, that the linksmaterially affects the game.

Does this diversity of links detract from or add to the enjoy-

ment of the game ? It can scarcely be doubted that considerableadditional enjoyment is to bo derived from this source, and, pro-vided a links is fairly laid out. so as to make it a trne test ofskill, an additional zest is thereby added to the game, and awider scope is afforded for the display of skill than would be thecase if all greens were identical in PYfry particular. A golfervisiting a new green for the first time has more to look forwardto than have1 the cricketer, the football player, or the tennisplayer, when they visit new fields of friendly strife. The latterknow that they are going to play the same game in exactly thesame way. and under practically the same conditions they havebeen accustomed to all their lives, although in different sur-roundings. But the golfer goes to meet and to see he knowsnot what. A new links is to him a new world. Everything isfresh. The drives from the tees may have longer or shortercarries, and the whole character of the green may—nay, prubahlywill—be entirely different. He has new hazards to negotiate—astream, a pond, a formidable bunker such as he has never beforefaced, though he may have heard of its terrors; a Pandy, a Hell,a Cardinal, or a ilaiden, and many other things of similarnature, quite unlike anything on the greens where he lias

hitherto played. Ho may have novel experiences—he may findhis ball teed in a whin bush, or may have to search for it in thedark recesses of a rabbit hole, at tho risk of being maimed by asteel trap. Ho may have difficulties to avoid on either side ofthe course—rushes, whins, or rank grass, and, most tantalisingof all, he may drive his new gutty over a wall, whence he maynot follow it, but—like Moses viewing the promised land fromPisgah—must stand and gaze regretfully upon its white mockingface, and then bid it farewell.

It would seem that the less confined and conventional a gamebe, and the more scope it gives for the exercise of individualingenuity, the better a game it is and the more enjoyable.Assume, however, for a moment, that it would be desirable thatevery links should be identical with a fixed standard, is such athing practicable F No. It might bo possible to lay down a law,as of the Modes and Persians, that each hole should be so manyhundred yards in length from tee to flag, and that hazards of "aspecified nature should bo set down at certain points, hut thatwould not make links identical from a golfing point of view.The nature of tho turf could not be regulated, and on the turfdepends largely the lie of the ball, not to speak of the putting.There are innumerable particulars in which one green mustalways be different from another. Where are two stretches ofground exactly similar to be found? Our forefathers were aswise a.s we are, and played the game in a more sportsmanlikespirit than do many golfers, so called, of the present day.Were it in any way desirable to define the length of the holes ormatters of this kind, rules for the purpose would probably havebeen handed down to us, and we cannot do better than follow inthe footsteps of our fathers in this respect.

BUDE AND NORTH CORNWALL LINKS.By Eev. E. P. HEBBLETHWAITE, Hon. Secretary.

THE links at Bnde extend over eighteen holes, aud in the courseis to be found every conceivable hazard that a golfer loves.The soil is sandy, and the turf short aud close. Even in thewettest weather in winter time, by far the greater number ofholes are entirely devoid of anything in the way of marshiness,the sand below draining away any superfluous moisture. All theholes have their peculiar bunkers, of varying difficulty butunfailing interest. However, the course has been so excellentlylaid out by Hobley, formerly professional of the OxfordUniversity Golf Club, and now engaged as professional audclub-maker by the golf club at Minehead, that there is noparticular reason—except bad play—why any of the hazardsshould be encountered. Among the best holes are the first, adistance of about 8U0 yards, with a very difficult long "brassie "shot for one's second, on to a ridge that lies between a yawningsaud bunker on the right and a deep declivity, named the"bottomless pit," on the left. From the ridge, which in coveredwith velvety grass, there is a pretty approach shot on to thegreen, about 40 yards in front. The fifth hole is (me of theprettiest, and is named " Sahara." From the teeing ground onelooks across a wide strip of sand, some -10 yards from it. andabout iU yards in width, down to the putting green, which liesbelow, some loU yards off. It is a good eleek shot, and isfrequently done in three, sometimes in two. Hole seven has.during the last year, been greatly improved. A large sandbunker has to lie carried with one's second, and. if one lies well.it is also possible to carry the bum and hedge which guard thegreen. It is a very difficult hole if a foozle occurs. Hole eightis a long one. as are holes nine and ten. The second half of thecourse is shorter than the first half, but the holes are ingeniouslyplaced, so as to afford the maximum of sport. On the nine

A GOLFER'S CATECHISM, WITH ANSWERS.BY THE EDITOE.

THOSE of our readers who take the trouble to scan the " Answersto Correspondents " columns of, say, the Field or Golf, must lieaware with what persistency various questions pertaining in somedirect or remote degree to the Royal and Ancient Game, cropup and are answered. Many of these questions are no doubtextremely interesting, and we can picture to ourselves witliwhat pleasure the respective editors put on their thinkingcaps and endeavour to the best of their ability to elucidate theknotty point submitted to them, and mayhap in the doiug raisingit hornets' nest of adverse criticism about tlieir devoted ears.But few ever think how irritating is the "damnable iteration "of certain questions, the answers to which every golfer worthyof the name ought to know as well as his A B C , It is sonone the less, and we have been entreated by one who has beentortured for long on the inquisitorial ruck, to try to lessen hisagonies by putting together such items of information as aremost run upon by anxious inquirers. Naturally such a task isattended with considerable difficulty, and nothing like continuitycan be observed, but out of a sort of hotch-potch wo trust thatat least one or two may have their appetites for knowledge ofthings golfic appeased.

Let us begin with the laying out and up-keep of golfinggreens. In the Annuul for 1889-90 there appeared an instruc-tive article from the pen of Mr. Horace G. Hutchinson, andthose who are interested in the beginnings of any of thenumerous greens which are presently springing up almost dailythroughout the United Kingdom, and have the aforesaid An miniat command, cannot do better than study Mr. Hutchinson'sarticle.

would take up too much space to ontoi- fully into all theminutice, so wo will not attempt it. However, wo must do ourbest to iviiswM tUtt following everyday questions•. "Whatlengths should wo malco tho holes on our now green P " TakeMr. Hutchinson's diettim that 170 yai'ds is a good avorago drive,and make tho length from too to hole either ono, two, or threegood drives. Thus 170, 340, and 510 yards or thorenbouts arejudicious lengths. Avoid those holes rightly eallod " levellers,"where tho man who tops his too shot and then gots in a goodsecond, reaches tho green with you who have played your driveand iron approach perfectly.

" Where should we place our hazards P "If possible you should always have a hazard, say, 130 yards in

front of each tee ; and another, if the hole be not within drivingdistance, say 35 yards or so from the putting green—tho one toti'ap a topped or budly-hit drive, and the other to punish a slip-shod approach. How frequently do we, who live north of theTweed, hear the well-known refrain from our caddie when wehave Ht'llflled our approaches to the hole side with no bunkor topunish them, " Never mind, sir, it's as guid as a hotter."

" O n inland greens what nliould lie the penally (I) in match,mill ('!) i" modal piny, where the playor'H bull falls foul of ahedge, and is practically unplayable F "

Our answer to both cases is Ihe same—drop as far behind usvon please, and lose a stroke. Hedges are not fair hazards, andit would be obviously unfair in a match lo make the unfortunateplayer forfeit the hole, or to inillcl him in the extreme penalty oft wo strokes in modal competitions, Let every club playing onnil inland green make its own peuultien on (he above lines, andnot stick religiously to t he St. Andrews' rules, which wereframed solely for seaside links with legitimate hazards. Oneanswer more, and we will pass on to another subject.

9 6 The Golfing Annual.

"How shall we best remove worm easts from our putting-

greens ? "GeT some gas lime, and soak well in water. Let the sediment

fall to the bottom, and water the greens with the solution. In afew minutes the worms will come to the surface, and can bebrushed off, or removed by hand. This is the most effectualcure we know.

Now for a few conundrums on the play itself. First andforemost the vexata qumstio—

" Must a fore-caddie move away after showing his master theway to a ' blind' hole ? "

In our opinion he need not, as there is not a word in the rulesagainst his remaining; but, as Mr. Mure Fergusson recentlyhumorously remarked in Golf, he generally does so to savehis master the expense of paying for his funeral. These are notthe ipsissima verba, but they convey Mr. Mure Fergusson'smeaning.

Next, " Playing through the green a ball lies within a clublength of a whin in the centre of which is a huge .stone. Maythe stone be removed ? "

Certainly it may, although we have hoard the contrary held.Rule 11 is very explicit on the point.

Again, "May a player sole his putter immediately in frontof Ids ball when addressing it on the putting green P "

Certainly he may." As a player is addressing his ball on the putting green tin1

ball of a player behind strikes his club and causes it to movehis ball. Is it a stroke ? "

No ; tin1 ball lias been moved by an outside agency, and shouldl)i" replaced by baud as nearly as possible whore it lay previously.

"Two balls lie within six inches of each other, and one islifted to enable the other to bo played, In playing tho playermakes a hole whore the lifted ball lay. Must it lie replaced intho holo!-"'

No ; but as closi' to it as possible." I11 a foursome a player drives out of bounds losing stroke

and distance. Who plays tho next shot ? "His partner." A ball lying at rest is picked up and carried away by a dog.

a crow, or other animal. What must be done ? "

[Noto.—Such a question lias actually been asked.—ED.]Questions LIKE those might bo multiplied ad injinitum, but lot

these suffice as samples.Questions as to (dubs, balls, and other accessories of tho game

are not so numerous, but none tho loss of frequent occurrence.Those relating to the brand of ball or make of club to be usedmust be dismissed, as they always are, with tho answer thatwe do not recommend ono maker's goods to tho detriment ofanother's, where all arc of good class, but would impress uponour supposed questioners tho necessity of patronising a woil-known man or firm.

Questions are frequently put as to tho best way in which tore-make halls, and we reply—If you can afford it, get this doneby a practical man. If not, then with a little practice and care,a fairly good ball may bo re-made by a press. First of allremove Hie paint by tho aid of turpentine, or scrape off with aknife. Then, before putting info the press, heat the ball rightthrough; allow t o c o ol down in tho press, and then drop intocold water. It should next receive two or three coats of whitezinc paint, null may be played wit h a s soon as hardened, but itis more judicious lo keep for two or three mouths before using.

The Aberdeen Golf Club appears to hare oome after, and in theplace of, a club called the " Society of Golfers at Aberdeen," institutedMay 9th, 1783, a printed copy of whose " Regulations, with a list ofthe original members and the Laws of Golf," is still extant; but this" society of golfera " had beoome dissolved before the institution ofthe present club. A golf olub mnat have existed in Aberdeen ev^nbefore 1783, as the ballot box still in the posaeaaion of the club bearsthe inscription, "The Aberdeen Golf Olub, 1780." The game itselfhas been played on the Aberdeen Linka from time immemorial. In"A description of both Touns of Aberdeen," written by JamesGordon, Parson of Rothiemay, in 1661, it is stated that " The Lynksextend themselves almost betwixt the two rivers of Done and Dee.Hear the inhahitanta recreat themselves with severall kynda ofexercises, such as football, goffe, bowlling and aroherie." The Aberdeen Town Council Records show that in the year 1642 one JohnDickson waa permitted to use and exercise the trade of making golfballs, and in writing of the period from 1633 to 1707 Kennedy, inhis "Annals of Aberdeen," says : "During no part of this period havewe discovered any games or paatimea in practice among the citizensexcept bowlling and golfing, which last continues to be a favouriterecreation at the present day (1818)." Doubtless the game is referredto in the following extract from the Aberdeon Council Registers,under date October 4th, 1598: "Item the prouest, bailleis, andoonnsall . . . lykvayeB ratefeis the statute maid agains the playerisin the linkis, and at the kyittis during the time of the sermones withthe gude and godlie ordinance maid obefoir again sweararis andblasphemaria of Goddia holy namo ; " . . . and we may assume thatthe game was played on the Aberdeen Linka when the Scotch Aot of1457, c. 6 (James II.), was passed. The following is an oxcerpt fromit: " Item it is decretyt and ordanyt that wapinsohawingis be haldinhe the Lordis ande Baronys spirituale and temporale four tymis inthe zeir and that the fntball ando the Golf be utterly cryit doune andnocht usit."

The Lowest Scratch Score in a olub competition is 75, by the lateJ. W. Catheart, on September 25th, 1886.

Tha record for the green, howevor, is 69, established by J, E.Laidlay, on August 80th, 1889, his figures buing 4 4 5 4 5 3 4 4 5 34 8 3 4 4 4 3 3=69.

The tariff for caddies is one shilling for the first, and ninopence foroach succeeding round.

A full description of tho eoui'so, which consists of eighteen holes,will be found in the special article entitled " Luft'ness Golf Links,"which appeared in the "Annual" for 1890-P1. The par of thegreen is B9. i

A new course was laid out at Luffness for Mr. Hope, tho pro-prietor, in 1893. The green is open to all golfers on payment of adaily, weekly, or monthly charge. Mr. Hope is entirely responsiblefor tho upkeep of the g'reen, which possesses all the characteristicsof the original course, and of Gtalliuie. Tho turf is excellent, if inthe meantime it is a bit rough, and old Tom Morris, who laid outLuffness originally, has excelled himself in laying' down the holes.

The first teeing-ground ia close to the public road leading toGullane, on the east side of tho road, a short distance from Luft'ness


Mill, and the line of play is towards Gullane. If at the first threeholes the player keeps Saltooats tower in his eye, he will not gowrong in the matter of line. I t now strikes off in a north-westevlyline with a long hole—the length is 450 yards—which, brings theplayer to the aide of the quarry at the corner of the GullaneRoad. The green is dangerously near the quarry, and if toomuch is put into the approach, woe betide the score. The fifth holeis delightfully sporting. In tlio quarry it possesses an ample hazard.The drive is directly across the quarry, and with a strong west windblowing the " oarry " iB far from easy. But if a good ball be gotaway from the tee, the hole should not be more than a 4, aoeordingto par. To the sixth hole the player to some extent retraces hissteps. By an easy ascent he passes the quarry on his right, andreaches the south shoulder of Gullane Hill immediately above it.From this—the sixth green—a magnificent view is obtained of theFirth of Forth, with the Fife coast beyond, of the sonth coast-line ofthe estuary, and of the fertile plain of East Lothian stretching fromthe Forth to the Lammermoors. Leaving this, the player again turnshis face towards Aberlady Bay, and, proceeding downhill, he finds thenext two holes. Their principal hazards arc ditches, whioh runparallel with and across the course, and have been cut partly for thedrainage of the ground, and partly to give zest to the game. At theeighth green the player strikes to the right, and the lino of playis parallel with the fifth hole at Luffness. With the turn theconrse doubles in a south-easterly direction. The homeward journeyopens with a short, tricky hole, but there is more scope for the longgame at the next, which is within a few club-lengths of the usualthird hole at Luffness—a ditch separating the greens. The twelfthhole lies almost direct east and west, having for " traps " two carttracks crossing the links, and being intersected also by the footpathforming the " short cut" from Aberlady to Gullane. From the nexttee the line is almost direct on Luffnsss House, and at this, thethirteenth, hole the course diverges in order that advantage may botak-n of a formidable bunker, which affords a magnificent hazard forthe fifth last hole, placed aoms distance south of the third hole atLuffness. A long hole brings ono from this point to the fifteenthgreen, 200 yards from the firat tee at Luffness; and the last threeholes of a round which is fully three miles in length lie along thesouth boundary wall of the links, the home green being near theGnllane Eoad, where the start was made. The lengths of the holesare as follows:—1st, Luffnoas Mill Hole, 318 yards; 2nd, SaltcoatsHole, 215 yards; 3rd, Castle Hole, 254 yards ; 4th, Long Hole, 450yards ; 5th, Quarry Hole, 110 yards; 6th, Hill Hole, 310 yards ;7th, Short Hole out, 154 yards; 8th, March Hole, 240 yards; 9th,Inchkeith Hole, 344 yards; 10th, Short Hole in, 170 yards; 11th,Peffer Bank Hole, 394 yards; 12th, Fentontower Hole, 280 yards ;13tU, Eoad Hole, 263 yards; 14th, Well Hole, 324 yards; 15th,Aberlady Hole, 400 yards; 16th, Luffneas Hole, 266 yards ; 17th,Plantation Hole, 210 yards: 18th, Home Hole, 410 yards.

every month, and the club presents a miniature silver golf ball to thewinner.

The course consists of nine holes and is a very sporting one, but,owing to want of space, zigzags a good deal. There is no grass, butthe courBe is rolled frequently, as footmarks in the sand make agood lie rather uncertain. The hazards consist of bunkers, walls,elopes of hills, and bushes. The putting greens, made of earth andsea sand, rolled daily, are very keen, and, with the slightetit wind,it is very difficult to hole the ball. "Approaching" at Aden alsorequires a style and method of play of its own, not over easy ofattainment.

formation of the ground, and the nature of the sand and hazards,the oourse closely resembles sea coast lmkR. It has been matter forsurprise to the cominittoe that so few golfers havo taken advantageof the fact that such excellent golf is to be had in Antwerp, and infixing their holidays by coming to Antwerp they could combine golfwith the pleasure of visiting Brussels and several other Belgiantowns of interest from an artistic and antiquarian point of view.

Record for Qreen.— i5 , by H. B. Southwell, in Maroh, 1893.The course of nino holes, situated on high-lying land at Tasloy,

about one mile from Bridgnorth, was laid out by J. Hughes, theCarnarvonshire Club professional. It is approached by an occupationroad, and commands excellent views in every direction. The air isfresh and bracing. The greens, which up to now could only bo pro-nounced fairly good, are being greatly improved, and the teeinggrounds levelled or artificially raised. A small clubhouse, anenlargement of which is projected, affords comfortable accommodationfor members, both ladies and gentlemen. The hazards oonsist atpresent of hedges, ditches, and other obstacles; but three of anartificial nature are in course of erection, and where placed will be ofdecided advantage. Altogether, the course, already good and in-teresting, is capable of further development, and should prove a greatacquisition in a neighbourhood much frequented by visitors on th&score of its unusual pioturesqueness. The holes, which vary in lengthfrom 398 to 187 yards, give a circuit of 2308 yards.

The principal hotel in Bridgnorth, the Crown and Royal, is ofgood size and thoroughly comfortable. There are other hostelriesand lodgiugs, respecting which the Hon. Secretary is glad at all timesto give information and advice to visitors. Vehicles of all descrip-tions are plentiful, and may be engaged at a moderate cost by thosewho prefer driving up to the course in lieu of essaying the walk,whioh, however, is a pleasant and easy one, and lies off the beatentrack.

BRORA.BRORA GOLF CLUB, INSTITUTED 1891.

The course, of nine holes, was laid out in 1891 by Mr. J. Suther-land, the Dornoeh crack, and, as the tnrf is good, only play isrequired to bring it into excellent condition. On arriving at thegreen, one is struck with the number of bunkers dotted over theconrse. The other hazards are a pond and a stone dyke, whichmust be cleared driving to the seventh hole. Perhaps the mostdifficult hole is the third, which takes three good drives to reachthe green. The course, which is about one and a half miles inlength, is pleasantly situated, extending along a picturesque stripof the shore. It is about five minutes' walk from Brora village,which has two very comfortable hotels, the Sutherland Arms andthe Commercial. Should the golfor, or health-seekor, desire to varyhis pastime, he has ample opportunity of trying hia hand at the"gentle art," or, if bent on geological pursuits, the neighbourhoodpresents a valuable field for research.

Brora has a fine beach for bathing pnrposes.

CAIRO.OAIEO GOLF OLUB, INSTITUTED 1888.

The golf course is in the grounds of tho Ehedivial Sporting Club,all members of which are entitled to play ; and there is no separatesubscription for golf. Visitors can become members of the SportingClub on payment of 1J. a month.

The golfing community is so small and of such a changeable nature,consisting chiefly of officers of tho army, who are frequently absenton leave or on duty, that anything in the way of prize competitions isdifficult to arrange. A silver medal exists, whioh was presented tothe club in 1888 by J. E. Laidlay. It is played for annually.


The green oonaists of nine holes, and the shortness of tho course,which only stretches over a length of 2200 yards, is compensated forby the abnormal number of sandy lies and the difficulty of the" greens," which are brown patches of puddled earth, over whioh sandis sprinkled daily.

The game languishes during the summer months, though, a smallnumber of enthusiasts may be seen wandering over the ground evenin the sultriest weather. In winter the visitors furnish, a large con-tingent, amongst whom an occasional praek player imparts a degreeof vitality to the noble game that is sadly lacking during the rest ofthe year.

There is also a golf aourse in connection with the Mena HouseHotel, which is situated in close proximity to the great Pyramid.

The Calcutta Golf Club claims to be the mother club in India, andin the " Good old days of the Honourable John Company "—by Mr.W. H. Carey—we find the following remark:—" A golf club wasestablished in Calcutta on the 24th March, 1839, of whioh LordEamsay was Captain."

Eecords of the existence of the club have heon traced ten yearsprevious to this, and it would appear that 1839 has been minprintedfor 1829. Further proof is from the existence of a large quantity ofbrass buttons still in the possession of the club which bear the SootchThistle, Golf Arms, and motto " Far and Sure," and the yoar 1829.

There are two oouraea of nine holes each on the Maidan, it being toosmall for eightoon holes. The course is situated in the centre of thetown, and is easily available from either Howrah or Sealdah stationsby " ticca-ghari." Distanae about two miles. Several capital hotelsoffer every accommodation for visitors. A large bowling green, threetonnis courts, and a quoiting ground are also attached to the club.

The Dum-Dum course is within an hour's drive from GovernmentHouse, and consists of nine holes. The first—" Hospital"—hole has a100 yards drive over somo very rough country; while the second—" Calvert"—hole is a repetition of the first, with many additionalhazards. The " Polo " hole abounds with numerous traps, and the" Centre" one has a ruggod bunker about 120 yards from the teeingground, whioh gives a good deal of trouble to many. The fifth hole iscalled the " Camp," and the numborless anthills which the first driveis intended to carry makes it rather interesting to watch a " toppedball." The next hole, " The Magazine," is a treat for a good player ;but the first drive must carry 130 yards and be straight, or the punish-mont will bo heavy. The " Iron " hole has a little mound to be got over,and it requires good straight play to be well on to one of the prettiestof all the putting greens of the course. The next is well named"Hell"—nothing but yawning pits and other ugly-looking hazards.After all the troubles which have been encountered in negotiatingthese eight holes, it is necessary to refresh; hence the ninth is named


the "Ginger Beer" hole. To overtake the last stage of the game,the ball must be propelled over trenches, ditches, and bunds andother abrasions on the surface of the links. During the past yearvarious improvements on tho eonrse have been mado, and the puttinggreens laid with doob grass.

The links, which are universally admitted by those who have playedover them, to be " the finest of all links," were laid out about theyear 1876 entirely to the north side of Maohrihanish stream ; but threeyears later the ground on the pouth side of the burn began to beutilised, although it was not till 1885 that the course was completedby placing the home hole on the plateau from whioh the first tee shotsare driven.

Close by the Hawarden Bridge and the railway of the Manchester,Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, about six miles fromChester, lies a beautiful expanse of turf known as Sealand Marsh,enclosed by the Dee embankment on the west, on the east by BurtonHills, Stotwieh. on the south by railway, and on the north by a brokenembankment, through which the highest spring tides find their way.Here the course 1B laid out. The soil is perfection for good lies,being sandy and covered with a mossy kind of turf. The very highspring tides occasionally cover the ground for about an hour at atime, a great advantage in summer, and not detrimental in thewinter. The chief characteristics of the ground are its uniformflatness, wonderfully true putting greens, and wide and irregularwatercourses, which make the chief hazards. There are no hugesand bunkers, nor yawning hazards to get into, but long andpowerful driving through the green is required.

The most convenient route by which to reach the links is by theManchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, from the Northgate-street station, where the company have erected a golf platform.The "Wirral Railway is at present in course of construction, and willcross the marsh and join the Manchester, Sheffield, and LincolnshireRailway a short distance from the golf platform. Members andfriends will then be in direct commnnication with Birkenhead,Liverpool, and suburbs vi& Mersey Tunnel. This line will be finishedearly in 1895.

TTie Record for the new eighteen hole course is 82, by E. Hutton.Disley is on the London and North-Woatern Railway, half-way

between Manchester and Buxton, and a few miles from Stockport.The clubhouse is about ten minutes' walk from the station, and thelinks are situated on high ground overlooking the Cheshire plain,with lovely viowa of the Derbyshire hills. The course has beenortendad to eighteen holeB, which afford every vaiiety of play,varying in length from 100 to 450 yards. The hazards are excellentlyplaced, and consist of ponds, gullies, stone walls, hedges, roads, andquarries, and good play is necessary for every shot; but a well-hitball is never punished. Unlike most other inland greens, this courseis at ita best in summer, the turf being close and fine, and a ball ishardly ever lost through the green, the grass never growing to anylength. The putting greens are fast and true, and will comparefavourably with many of the best of the sea-aide links. Since thecourse has been extended to the orthodox number of holes there hasbeen a large addition to the membership. Strangers are admitted to

"The date of the institution of the Honourable Company of EdinburghGolfers (incorporated by a charter from the magistrates of Edinburghin 1800) is lost in antiquity, but the first of a regular series ofminutes, signed by President Forbes, of Oulloden, bears date 1744.In March of the same year the magistrates of Edinburgh, having been* from time to time applied to,' authorised thoir ' treasurer €o causemake a silver club, not exceeding the value of fifteen pounds sterling,to be played for annually;' and, with the exception of the years1746-7 and 1832-5, the silver club has been regularly played for downto the present timo (1875). On referring to the poem of 'The Goff,'published in 1743, it will ba found that the heroes of the poem, Forbes(Lord President of the Court of Sossion), Macdonald, Dalrymple,Rattray, &c, were all members of the club. Until the year 1768,when the Golf House at the south-west corner of the links at Loithwas built, the Olub used to most in a tavern called Lukie Clephan's,but from 1768 downwards the business and social meetings were heldat the Golf House. In 1831, some alterations having been made on thelinks, and the green ceasing to be attractive, it was deemed advisableto dispose of the Club House and furniture, and it is much to be


regretted that various pictures of old members, painted expressly forthe Club, and forming part of its history, were not reserved. Thepictures WERE sold for trifling sums to parties unconnected with theClub, but there is a probability that some of them may again becomethe Club's property. After an interregnum of five years, the Club wasrevived at Mussolburgh in 1836, through the influence of some of theold members, and continued to inorease to such an extont aa to renderquite inadequate the accommodation provided at the Grand Stand.In 1865 the present Club House was built."—Clark's " GOM."

The Mu;rfleld Green is situated about four miles from DremRailway Station, and one mile from Gullane village. I t is an excellentcourse of eighteen holes, has been wonderfully improved since theopening three years ago, and will soon rank among the best in thekingdom.

The green record is 69, by Archie Simpson, on September 21st,1892, his figures being :

Since then, however, several of the holes have been considerablylengthened.

The par of the green may be put at 72.Conveyances meet all trains from Edinburgh at Drem, and there

is sleeping acoommodation for members in the handsome clubhouseon the green.

"The names of the founders of the BBUNTSFIELD LINKS GOMCLUB have not been handed down to us, and there is reason to fearthat they are irrecoverably lost; nor is there any positive evidencewhen the Club was established. No records of its earlier years canbe found. The first Minute Book in the possession of the Club datesfrom 1787, in which year the Club underwent conversion from aSociety into a Club, whatever that may mean. In a Minute, dated1790, it is stated that the Club had then existed for thirty years,

Records for Green. — (1) Professional, 78, by W. Louie, onNovember 9th, 1893; (2) Amateur, 79, by C. E. Pine-Coffin, inNovember, 1892.

The oourse is situated close to the town, and, being protected byhigh ground on the north, east, and west, and having, moreover, asouthern exposure, is particularly adapted for winter play, althoughthe game is engaged in all the year round. Consisting originallyof nine holes, it was altered to six, thereby giving greater lengthbetween the boles, and the entire round is a little over a mile inlength. The green is by no means an easy one, owing partly to sand,with little or no admixture of soil, immediately underlying the turf,and partly to the variety of hazards. The consequent lightness of theturf ensures perfect drainage, and admits of the game being playedwith comfort in the wettest weather. Exmouth Railway Station(L. & S.W.E.) is about three-quarters of a mile from the course j andthe Imperial and the Beacon Hotels are about mid-way between itand the station. A new pavilion, situated within a few yards ofthe first teeing ground, was opened in Deoombor, 1889.

EXMOUTH LADIES' GOLF CLUB.The Ladies' Club is in reality part and parcel of the Exmouth Golf

Club, as they have no separate officials or finances, but a wing for theiraccommodation has been added to the pavilion.

The Glasgow Golf Club waa reconstituted in 1870. When theoriginal club was founded is not known, but the members latterlyplayed on Glasgow Green. The minutes down to 1832, and silver clubwith some twenty-four silver balls attached, bearing1 the namesof tha captains from 1787 to 1828, which had been searched for invain, were seen in the Bishop's Palace, Glasgow Exhibition, wherethey had been sent on loan by Mr. Molnroy of Lude. The clubapproached Mr. Mclnroy as to the minutes and silver club, butwithout success. The club, as at present constituted, began in1870 to play on the South Side Park, but soon had to leave itfor much opener quarters at the Alexandra Park in the East End,where it still is located. The park was extremely unlike what atypicul green should be. It had a cold clayey soil, long coarse grassin summer, no sand hazards, but in their place iron railings to becrossed. These were equally trying to the golfer's temper, as a veryawkward lie is sometimes got when the ball is caught at thefoot of these. Some of these railings are used as boundaries, andat places the play requires to be very straight to avoid the penal-ties. With much labour spent in cutting, rolling, and filling upholes, the turf may at last be said to be under control, and bad liesare now as rare as they formerly were frequent. The putting greenshave improved even more than the course, and many of them woulddo credit to some of our more famous seaside resorts. Altogether, avery enjoyable game can be had on the green, as testified to bythe large number of golfers of all degrees who are frequentingit. The course a few years ago was one of nine holes, bnt thelarge accession of playing members compelled an extension, first tofifteen and then to eighteen holes. A large room has recently beenadded to the clubhouse, and the accommodation for members nearlydoubled. Alexandra Park Station is about five minutes' walk fromthe clubhouse.

A relief course was opened near Irvine in 1892, which has all thecharacteristics of St. Andrews, and should prove a grand course. Asat present marked ont, the course is rather less than throe miles inlength, but it ean be extended indefinitely. Several of the greens havebeen relaid, and the whole are now in first-class playing condition.Another feature is the number of bunkors and the manner in whichthey are plaoed. Some guard the holes, while others are placed onthe line to the hole. They are also placed that the long driver mayget the benefit of his oarry. The whole course is carpeted withsplendid turf, and bad liea are reserved for bad golfers.

The course, of nine holes, has been much improved during the winter.The first drive is over a formidable bunker, intersected by numerouscart-tracks, in which a topped ball meets with well-deservedpunishment; but a fair drive will land the player clear of difficulties,aad a full iron shot will lay him on the green, which lies in a littlehollow, guarded on three sides by star-grass and sand bunkers. The6«cond hole is simple, though the drive must be'straight. The thirdgreon lies in a wilderness of hazards, but a fair drive and a well-judged iron shot should lay the ball safe. The fourth is a long hole,and needs straight, hard hitting. The green is a fine one whenreached, and the course, thongh rough, will improve. The fifth holeneeds a fair drive over marshy ground, and an accurate iron pitch, asthe green is fenced about with hazards. The sixth is a very sportinghole. The drive from the tee is over a marsh, which needs a longball to carry it, though cautious players may shirk it by steering tothe left. Then a oleek or iron shot should drop the ball into a hollow

gorse as well, besidos a down sloping to the sea. The next is thelongest hole of all—430 yards. A good drive will land you on smoothgrass again. Then you will have boforo you patches of flint andchalk atones, bare places where turf has been removed and in whichsand haB beon laid down for a bunker. Tho green at the Cliff issmall, but levelled in the sloping down for eighteen feet square. The" Middle " hole is a short one of about 150 yards over a sand bunkerone hundred yards distant, and more patches. Next to " WestwardHo"—300 yards—across stone patches, sand, and two pieces ofgorse. "Land's End" is ovor bad lies and ruts of all kinds anddepths—295 yards At this point, the Downs are 410 feet above sealovol, with a view unsurpassed in the South of England. The golferwill then turn his eyes homeward, and find a hole of 350 yardsbefore him, and he will do well if he hole in four or five. Next is ashort hole of 100 yards over gorse, with a hill behind. Two drivesbring the player to the " Punchbowl," the host green in the wholecourse, the various slopes in the old quarry calling forth all thecunning; of tho most skilful putter.

A professional tournament was held over the course last year,when A. Herd of Huddersfield took first placo, and Willie Forme ofTroon second. The Green Record of 70 was equalled by both pli.yers.

At first only a small nine-hole course was needed, but, with an in-creasing membership, the Committee deemed it advisable to extendtheir course to oighteen holes. Tho hazards are good and not tooplentiful, the turf in many places is of the finest, and tho greens, undorthe careful attention of the resident greenkeeper, bid fair to become allthat the golfor could desire. Tho holes vary in length from 150 to500 yards, and the circuit is about three miles. A comfortable olub-house is situated on the course, and adjoining it is the workshop ofthe greenkeeper. There is a good hotel in the village, also first-classaccommodation in the way of lodgings, and the Hydropathic establish-ment is now famed for its comfort and healthful situation.

The Green Record is 69, by Douglas Eolland.The course stands high, from 500 to 550 foet abovo soa level, and,

therefore, has at all seasons of the year a dolightfully fresh and pleasantair. The turf is not so perfectly suited to the requirements of thegame, as in summer it is liable to be overgrown by grass and fern.This difficulty, however, lias been mot by the energy of the greencommittee, and the course is now in fairly good ordor.

At present the course oonsists of nine holes, but it is probable thatthe number will soon bo increased to eighteen. The distance of theround is nearly two miles, nono of tho holes boing moro than 350yards in length, and none less than 150. Tho chief hazards are jjorsebushes, but, with the exception of a few holes, tho direct line fromthe tee to the diso is clear from such dangers. Before one or two ofthe teeing-grounds, however, there yawn even moro formidabledifficulties in tho shape of large bnnkors fillod with whins and water ;but a fair drive will clear the obstacle in ovory case. Eoads, also,have to be crossed on Beveral occaaions, and the ruts left by the oartswhich cross the common in all directions form a serious danger.There is also a Ladies' course of nine holes. Tho green is only a milefrom Oxted Station, at which flios moot tho trains, and thore are threeinns in Limpsfiold.

Although the nine holes of Musselburgh links look comparativelyeasy at the first glance, they are much more diffloult of negotiationthan they look, and aro a capital test of the golfer's abilitios. Thefirst teeing ground is opposite the grand stand at the head of theracecourse straight, and two full drives should land you on theputting green of the "Graves," so called because of the numeronssmall mounds surrounding the hole. It is frequently dono in four,but five is not to bo dospised. Two good straight drives and an ironshot aro required to bring you to the " Barracks Entry " hole, buta pulled ball will bo punisliod in a bunker, and one hit off the heelwill fiml u routing placo on the road—a very good hole in fivo. A welllofted drivo will carry the raoooourso rails, and land yon short of fouror flvu dangerous looking bunkers on the road to " Mrs. Forman'a."Your second, with a brassy or cleok, will bring you within a wristshot of the hole, which should be holed in five. This is the turningpoint for homo. A raker on the line will take you close to the" Soa " liolo, for which four is stoady play. Driving to the " Table,"far anil suro is tho order of the day to carry the formidable bunkercalled " Pandy," about ono hundred and twenty yards in front ofyou. A brassy second should take you to the foot of the plateauon which tho holo is placed, and a run up with the putter oriron should inako fivo a certainty. A splendid stretch of turf liesbefore you, driving to tho "Bathing Coach" holo, which is an easyhole in five. Tho " Holo boforo the Gas " is oven eaaior, a firmlyhit drive frequently landing on the putting green, leaving you achance of a throo or four at tho most. A strong tee shot is required forthe " Gas " hole to surmount safoly a large bunkor, about the rightdistanco in front of tho too to trap a topped ball, and a half-ironshot will run closo up to tho hole, which should never take morethan five. A clook shot well loftod will land hole high at the" Homo " holo, but, if not, it may be trapped in a bunker short of theputting groon, and almost in tho line. Occasionally done in one. andfrequently in two, throo or ovon four is quito good enough for this


hole. Tho rooord for the round is 33, Bob Ferguson and Willie Park,jun., having both, dona it in thoso figuros. The par sooro is 36.The order of starting is now regulated by tho issue of numbered-tickets, and a oharge of sixpence for eaoh oightoon holes is exactedfrom visitors who aro not membors of clubs contributing to thoup-keep of tho links. • Inhabitants are froo from ohargo.

Tho courso, whioh consists of nineholos, is laid out on tho moor—a wide extent of admirable golfingground situated on tho north sidu of tho village. AS tho moor con-tains nearly a hundred aoroa, thoro is plonty of room for a fulleighteen-holo course should that over ho determined on. The puttinggreens are natural, and winiply perfection. Starting i'rom tho ChnvohPoint, whioh is the most oasterly point in Northumberland, andwhich forms a woll-kuowii landmark to all who pass from Loithto London by stoamor, the eourso runs along the Hoasido until thoend hole is roached, situated at tho Fairy Rooks.

On tho journey out thoroare capital bunkers formed by tho ravages of the Hoa, in the Hhapo ofnumerous sandy ravines. The homeward journey is a little too easyuntil the end hole is reached, whore troaelierons sand pits yawn onall sides. This hole brings many a gooil score to grief. Tho scenoryall the way along is very line, comprising views of the far-distantCocjuet Island on the one side, and Tynonioutll and Shields on thoother ; while the woods of Cresswell form an agreoablo foreground.There is an admirable elub-room in the Old Ship Hotel.

Newbiggin is situated about twenty milos from Noweastlo and ninemiles from Morpeth. Tim railway .station is about half a mile fromthe golfing course. It is a fivvouvito resort fur Newcastle and Movpothvisitors, and contains admirable lodging accommodation both at thohotel above-namod and in numerous private houses.
