AMATEUR CHAMPiON. RETURN FROM AUSTRALIA. (By Telegraph —Ver Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 30. The opinion that the standard of golf in New Zealand compared very favourably with that in New South Wales was expressed by H. A. Black, the New Zealand amateur golf champion, -wno returned to Wellington by the Manama ’ .u-uuj miu' LaKUtg pan, hi iiiv iVe.i owUUi iV a.es vjlate cuauipiunSuip, i.. iiiuCn lie ixuttiii.u Me seim-uiuus dim' nas ueieuied uy Apperiy. ne legarus i>ew /tea mud's chances of retaining tne iviric- *vniueyer Cup next June a* quite nilgai. ii.e -sen ooUl.. Wales Con Council is endeavouring to arrive at a satisfactory method ot Handicapping and lias introduced a system oi handicapping to par. A par 3 hole is up to 240 yrn-us, a par 4 hole 241 to 4'4y yards, a par -3 Jiole 44(5 yards and over 1 . Local.*conditions are not taken into account, .such as the prevailing wind, undulating country, etc. By this method there are no plus men players, such as Hattersley, Fawcett and Apperlv, who are on the 2 mark in the list recently issued hy the New South Wales Golf Council. Manly, of all courses in New South Wales has the hardest par, "3. Rose Bay and. Kensington are one fewer Some course pars ,are as low as (52. “ Viy deficit of five holes was due to indifferent putting, .and also to two stymies which I could not manipulate,” he said. '‘Further weakness on the greens in the afternoon saw the match finish in Apprly’s favour 8 and 7. Apperley’s morning round was a 73 and at the finish of the match he was one over 4’s for the day.”

“Ferrier’s win 'Over Apperiy in the final, to me, came as a surprise. It is quite evident that for a lad o.f sixteen he has the right match play temperament, and much should he heard of him in the future. Thick set and tall, he has an unorthodox style. From a fairly wide stance lie crouches over the hall with the right hand well under the shaft and gives the impression of uncertainly, although the results do not indicate so.”
