LONG, STRAIGHT HITTING MAKES THE CHAMPION

Hard, long-distance accurate hitting was largely responsible for C. L. Cutfield’s win from W. D. Steel in the Whakatane Golf Club’s senior championship final on Sunday.

This win gives Outfield his first club championship and he goes after the New Zealand title with the best wishes of his club. Outfield played the morning round in 78 and his afternoon 10 holes in par figures. Steel, who has -been playing steadily lately, had a certain amount of bad luck on Sunday. An example of Outfield’s length and his ability to use his irons was the fact that, at Number 13 in the morning, he cut the corner with his drive and put his second on to the green with a Number five iron.

Outfield established a five-uo lead in the first half and kept it to the 18th.

At the 19th, he hit a perfect spoon shot to the green for two. He putted for two more, against Steel’s orthodox five. The 20th and 21st were halved in bogey fours after Steel had holed a four-foot putt to negotiate a threequarter stymie. The 22nd and 23rd were also halved.

Recovering at the 24th from a skied drive to the rough, Cutfield used a Number seven iron to go over the trees to the green. Steel’s drive was in the middle of the fairway but he pushed his second outside the right-hand bunkers and failed in his pitch to the green, losing the hole to a birdie. The 25th was halved with fours, Cutfield taking the 26th and 27th to make a dormie nine.

A splendid drive and a Number seven iron shot to the 28th green gave Cutfield a sure four, which Steel could not better.
