In keeping with the progressiveness of the local R.S.A. golfing enthusiasts of this body have arranged a one-day tournament to be held on the Levin links on August 29, for district and other returned servicemen who have been handicapped by a golf club. This is an innovation from the golfing angle locally and the sponsors are to be congratulated on their enterprise which will tend to strengthen the old "digger" spirit.

All district clubs have. been eircularised but in the event of aclub: not having received advice and a; copy of the day's programme, the' con'ditions of piay are as follows : ( l ) competitors must be Returned Servicemen who have beeni handicapped by any golf club. ,(.2)* Piay wili be as follows: — Morning: Me'dal round with prizes1 :or best nett and best gross scores and a stapieford, no competitor to, win mor e ihan oue prize. ; Afternoon teams match, with the .eams drawn and single and fourball bogey.

THE FINER POINTS ABOUT THE ART OF PIVOTING Pivoting can be accomplished in the foliowing manner: Give no tliought to your toes, ankles, knees, hips cr shoul'ders while swingingj at the ball. Concentrate on swing-| ing the club in the usual manner.! If you do this, and permit youri body to respond freely to the swing; of the arms, it will pivot in the right way and at the right degree. Truthful No Doubt In a bogey match most players! start off with "Colonel Bogey" and, cone home with "General Alibi."
