[By Slice.]

Otago Club. Two popular members of the club fought out the final of the Haggitt Cup knock-out during the week-end, both playing brilliant golf for Davies to win from Lemon at the twentysecond. Both play off three, and lived up to their reputation of producing the shots when the pressure was on. Out-driving Lemon Davies had the advantage, but the former’s steadiness and accuracy produced excellent golf. Last Saturday, under perfect.conditions, the teams match, consisting ot four a side, was played for trophies presented by Mr G. H. Whitcombe. A large entry was received, and under the conditions the scoring of the lowhandicap players was very poor. Once again A. Gibbs proved ms worth in carding the best gross score of 71. Week, after week this player has proved that in medal play he can hold his own with anyone in New ZeaA Universitv player, Gordon Campbell, burnt up" the course with an 80— 18=-62 netr This, no doubt, will be noted by the handicapper. Chisholm Park Club. The final of the senior championship was played under perfect golfing conditions, and once again G. Bums proved his worth by winning from D.
