The Championship Final

It was most unfortunate that the final of the club championship had to be played off last Friday in. such windy weather. Considering the conditions, both Mrs. Lofting and Mra. Ryde played well. Mrs, Ryde was driving extremely well, but was. not consistent through the green fand in her approach play. On the other hand, Mrs. Lofting played steady golf and at the end of the first round was 5 up.

When play was resumed after in, the wind had increased con-rably, making good golf difficult. This circumstance, and the fact of being 5 down to Mrs. Lofting, appeared to influence Mrs, Ryde's play, as she did not maintain the form Jshe had displayed in the morning, round. Notwithstanding the adverse weather conditions, Mrs. Lofting continued to play extremely well and was out in 42, winning the match at the 9th, by 10 up and 9 to play.
