GOLF NOTES.

HAMILTON LADIES’ CLUB. WEDNESDAY’S MATCH. (By “All Square.”) Last Wednesday was the first fine match day for several weeks. The wind was a bit troublesome but not bad etoough to warrant the poor soorIng for the August monthly medal and the qualifying round for the Horton Cup competition.

Miss M. Wilklson scored a 3 at the Bth. Already she has several 2’s on the sheet. Mrs F. Mander has also her usual number of birdies and eagles. A Saturday player, Miss M. Campbell, won the third extra L.G.U. medal In the silver division with a net 77. Very few cards were returned In this medal on acoount of bad weather conditions. Mrs F. Luckle and Mrs 0. L. Mao Diarmid tied with net 74’s in the bronze division but Mrs Luckle won on a recount over the last 9 holes. Handloap Reductions. Another Thursday playeto, Mrs Gordon Hamilton, earned a handloap last week and will no doubt settle down to serious play. Mrs H. Hallett has reduced her handicap by 2 strokes. Miss B Smith is down to a 32
