CAMBRIDGE CLUB HANDICAP MATCH PLAY (Special to Times) CAMBRIDGE, ‘Sunday. Last Saturday saw the commencement of the Cambridge handicap (match play), when the first round was completed under perfect golf conditions. The new greens, played on for the first time, made scoring easier, and several rounds under 80 were recorded. Although on the heavy side at present, they give promise to fill out and become excellent putting surfaces in a few weeks. W. Scott Jl3), the winner or the Secretary’s Trophy, was bard-pressed by F. C. Rogers (10)., and gained the verdict only at the 19th. Another exciting tussle was staged between R. Boucher (8) and W. Rice (11). All square at the 18th, the game went to the 20th hole berore Boucher took the match. R. AHord (5) did well to hold the promising Junior, J. Wilson (23). Alford’s 7 9 enabled him to win a grand contest at the 18th. D. McCathie carried too many guns for C. Venneii, whom he defeated 3 and 2. M. Barrett (9), the ex-Te Awamutu player, made a promising debut by defeating tin* seasoned veteran, J. Bank® (to), at the 18th. TE AWAMUTU CLUB ARRANGEMENTS FOR TUESDAY TE AWAMUTU, Friday.
