Suva's New Golf Course

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, Sept. 2.

SUVA’S new golf course is settling down —particularly the additional 9 holes, recently opened. It is the first 18hole course in Fiji, and, though never likely to become a Sandwich or even a Rose Bay, it is definitely attractive to Suva residents, who fill it daily, and should be popular with visiting tourists — if and when tourists come into being again.

The 18 holes are all on the flat, which perhaps lessens their interest a little, but which certainly makes play practicable for an older generation than could tackle the old, now abandoned course, one round of which, on a warmish day, was cal culated to reduce the ordinary player to a damp sponge. (See illustrated article on page 25, written before the new 9 holes were opened.) Mr. G. J. A. Moore, BP manager at Pt. Moresby, is now in Australia on leave.
