WEASELS AND RATS
BIG GAME ON LINKS
Odd specimens of fauna made their presence known on the Whakatane golf links during the week-end. (This of course, refers to our four-footed friends, and not to any members!) The treasurer on Sunday dealt unconventionally but firmly with a rat which emerged from a drainpipe, but chief interest attached to the slaying of a weasel on No. 10 fairway after it had been briskly chased from,one knot of golfers to another. The coup de grace came from Mr D. Allen, and some interest attaches to the club he used. It might be useful to refer the point to the Royal and Ancient for a final ruling as to the club to be taken in such circumstances. It is understood from perusal of comic literature that an iron is generally favoured for use against burglars, and something broad-faced and well-lofted might be appropriate for a weasel.
