New Record for the Golf Club of Lahe-

Powelton Club Championship - Notes.
Details OF the medal round competition. in
which all OF the contestants engaged, that
formed the prelude to the women's champion
ship. at Newcastle. ireland. on May 8. show
that Miss Hezlet took a commanding place
from the beginning. for she won with ~, the
Misses r.. Adnir and NJ. Phillips tieing for sec
ond place with o5. Miss bod. runner up sub
seauently to Miss Hezlet. gained fourth place

was over the mems regular course. the same
that the All-Irish women's championship had
been played over during the previous week.
This compelled long driving and few Of the
Irish player re- failed to carry the bunkers. but it
proved a disadvantage to the English repre-
sentatives. Somewhat OF a sensation was
created by the shortening Of the course the day
after the medal round for the women's cham
pionship. The tees were advanced and special
greens marked out. according to a statement
by Miss Pascoe. the ex-champion. to suit the
game OF prominent Members OF the Ladies'
Gollng Union. Miss Pascoe's opinion in part is:
THE Irish ladies'. having elected to play
over the mems course at Newcastle to decide
the Irish championship. are using the mems
tees. The English women in the champion
ship will play from tees placed twenty and
thirty yards nearer the carry for the drive. 1t
seems a great pity that the Union should come
to the beautiful long links at Newcastle and
cut them up. II the Irish women. who are not
long drivers. can carry and play the round.
