Two local golfers, Messrs W. MacCluro and E. Pox, had an unenviable but somewhat amusing experience on the Awapuni links (says the Auckland Star), although the humour of the occurrence was perhaps more apparent to their friends than to themselves. The players had reached the tenth hole, when the game was interrupted by the unexpected and untimely arrival of a bullock, which, without any warning ■preliminaries, made straight for the two golfers. Fortunately the incident occurred close to a fence'; otherwise the results might have been more serious. Mr. Fox managed to sidestep the first rush, and the beast then made for Mr. MaeClure, who, in turn, made for the fence. Under the circumstances the golfer was unable to exercise the amount of care required in the negotiation of a barbed wire fence, with the result that while he crossed the i barrier, a considerable section of a por-1 tion of his clothing remained on the. fence to wave defiance at the infuriated ; animal. Mr. Fox, in the meantime, had J also managed to get through the fence, ■ and the two escaped with nothing more serious than injured feelings.
