WEEKEND GOLF

ON fHE LINKS AT BUCKLEY Summer conditions made golfing at Buckley over the weekend a pleasure, and many members were on the links. The hard fairways still give players a' few extra yards on their drives, but fast greens prove the d'ownfall for many of the beginners. On Saturday afternoon a bogey competraon was played and S. Gledhill and W. Stern both returned cards of two down on the "colonel." However, Gledhill won on the countback. Other cards were C. Stern three down and T. Harrlson three down.

Stern 88 — 18 — 70, Miss E. Stern and N. Mabey 85 — 13 — 72, Mrs. H. Pope and P. Picard 86 — 13 — 73, Miss N. Easton and H. Mabey 91 — 17 — 74, Mrs. G." Fitzgerald and W.
