From Our Own Correspondent WAU, April 23.

IN the four-ball match-play round between North and South, on the Wau course, on Sunday, April 21, Mr. Keith Norris played a stroke which would rarely, if ever, be seen. Playing for North, he holed out with a birdie, from off the green, at a distance of 35 feet, at the 21st hole.

South had approached this, the last hole, dormie one, and had completed the hole in par. It was left to Norris to achieve his remarkable shot, to halve the hole and to equalise the match; and he did it. History does not disclose what his opponents did to him!
