BRITISH GOLF
“OPEN” COMMENCED AUSTRALIAN’S DAY OFF NEW “COLOUR SCHEME” By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright Reed. 12.58 p.m. LONDON, Monday. It was Australia’s bad day in the British open championship qualifying rounds at St. Andrews. Both Nettlefolds are in jeopardy. Len with an eighty, is on the borderline of safety, since 162 for the two rounds is expected to qualify. Robert Nettlefold was six worse, and his only hope of entering the final is an exceptional round to-morrow. He was unfortunate in his short game, and lost several strokes round the greens. His driving was good. The lighter side of golf at St. Andrews was provided by the appearance of Anconeus Dell, of the Anatomical School, London, who, though a golfer with a pronouncedly scientific turn, has a theory that colours assist the player to concentrate. He paints the heads of his clubs in -bright blues and yellows, while the shaft of his putter is in indigo. Unfortunately Dell’s exhibition on the old course was unconvincing. He went round in 82.
At St. Andrews, Glias, France, had the honours of the day, with a 71 on the old course.
Cyril Tolley -was the most successful amateur, with a 73. J. Kirkwood is fairly safe with a 75.
