He congratulated both promoters and contractors on making the course available over the holidays, and he hoped their expectations would be fully realised. During the afternoon play was free for all. An inspection of the course revealed many interesting and novel features. Amongst the greens are Shag Rock, Band Rotunda, Scarborough, Clifton Lagoon, Taylor's Mistake, Sumner Pier (high and dry), and Cave Rock.
