Golf In New Guinea

Prom a Special Correspondent LAE, Feb. 23.

YOU may like a few details about the “Waterhouse Cup”:— We decided on a general competition, each club entering a team of eight, each team to play every other team. There are eight singles and four four-ball matches in each inter-club match.

Last week-end Bulolo played Bulwa at Bulolo (we have six holes now in play) and Bulolo won all games (18 holes, of course). Next week-end, Wau plays Bulwa at Bulolo, and Bulolo plays Edie Creek at Wau.

Edie Creek have been very keen. The .Cup gave them a stimulus and they have forty mem bers. They have renovated Golden Ridges course and are likely to put up a good show. Salamaua are at present trying for a few holes and will have a team ready to enter the competition when the present series is finished. All the middle-markers in all the clubs are flat out try ing to qualify for the teams and two new clubs have developed and a good time is being had by all. Wau is most likely to be the winner on present form.

We need more golfers, however. Sixty-eight is Bulolo’s membership and twenty-seven Bulwa’s Mr. and Mrs. K. Upton, of the Grand

Hotel, Thursday Island, arrived in Aus

tralia by the “Changte” on March 7 to spend a holiday in Melbourne.
