The second qualifying rounds in all grades of the championships will be played next Saturday. Players will make up their own threes, within their own groups if possible, and start as eax-ly as they can. Divots And Other Things
The members of the Whakatane Golf Club are favoured with a particularly fine course. The greens are excellent and in order to preserve the good fairways players are by a local rule permitted to place the ball, if it be unfavourably, on a better piece of turf within one foot of where it came to rest. It is regretted that some players after willingly accepting this priivlege follow with the commission of a terrible sin. They take out a huge piece of precious turf with the club and make no attempt at replacing it and pressing it down firmly with the foot. When this local rule is waived, as it is likely to be at the end of this month, and one of these offenders finds his ball in an old divot hole where he must play it, he will probably cast his thoughts back to an occasion when he neglected his duty. Such is a bitter way to learn a. lesson but it will surely happen. On the other hand, if a non-offender finds his ball in a hole left by another his (or her) remarks will be unprintable.
