FLATTERING HANDICAPS
SUPPORT FOR MISS KAY WHAT N.Z. GOLF NEEDS (United I*.A. —By Telegraph — Copyright) ReccL. Noon. SYDNEY, To-day. Women’s golf associates here agree with Miss Oliver Kay that golf handicaps in New Zealand are too flattering. New Zealand players in handicap events at the recent Australian championships suffered thereby. The handicaps here are revised every two years, but no player’s mark is ever moved up more than six strokes. Prominent officials consider that a general tightening up of handicapping methods is necessary in New Zealand, if visiting players are to be placed on an equal footing with Australians.
