Where a. Pulled drive to the Bush proved expensive he was Able to. Com plete the outward half in the Par figure of 36. A Birdie three at the first Hole and a splendid four at the Soyard 9th enabled him to get Back the two strokes he lost at the -4th. Coming Home he had three birdies three at the 265 Yard Lith a Fine free at the 449 or punch bowl Hole where he was on the two. And Down in one putt and a three at the 18th.

In commenting on the scoring by the Western players in Toronto Penfold stated that they found scoring conditions far from similar to what they Are accustomed to at. Home. The course was no less than 6.800 Yards in length and Only one really Short Hole was included in the Lay out. The. Other Par. Three holes were particularly difficult ones ranging from 225 to 250 Yards and most of the Par four holes were Well Over the 400 Yard Mark calling for either Long Iron shots or spoons for the second shots. As the approaches to the greens Are very much softer than those on the Winni Peg courses our local players continually found themselves Short and the result was a lot of files. All the local players can console themselves with the reflection that judging from scoring in Gen eral they were not the Only ones who found the going hard a a record at Minaki. Bert Pellenz prominent member of the Elmhurst club set up a record for the new course at Minaki last week end which will undoubtedly stand for some time to Rome. The course is Tricky one with very narrow fairways for Trie most part and the Par of 33 tails to give any indication of the difficulty of scoring anything like perfect Kolf Pellenz however waa Able to beat Par on three of the nine holes and As he Only was one Over one Hole his total of 31 enabled him to finish two strokes better than the Book says should be done. The features of Pellenz s round were a two on the 155 Yard 5th Hole and n. Three at the ninth of 345 Yards is a difficult Par four at any time being a dog leg around the calling for a very accurately placed tee shot.
