Richmond County Country Club golfers
took advantage Of an opportunity to see
George Duncan play in a four ball match
over the links at Dongan Hills. on Staten
Island. yesterday. The match took place
in the afternoon. when Duncan and Jack
Jolly defeated Isaac Mackie, Of Fox Hills,
and John Mulgrew, the home pro" by up
and 1 to play Individually. Duncan carried
Off the honors, returning a card Of "a, three
strokes better than Mackie. The other two
| had 81.
SO as to give the late arrivals chance
| to see the fun the match was not started
until o'clock The course was in fairly
good condition, though some of the greens
We're much slower than they seemed.
From the outset the long driving Of
Duncan and Mackie proved the feature In
the matter of actual distance off the tees
there was little to choose, though, IL any
thing, Duncan's direction was better. AS a
general thing the visitor got inside the 9TH
ers on the approaches, and while he did
not do anything exceptional in the putting
line, he suffered little by comparison, for
during the entire round only one extreme
! ly long put was brought Off
! The Duncan-Jolly combination began well
by winning the 2lO-yard first hole in g..
Mackie drove hole high with a cleek,
whereas Duncan fell considerably green
shy. He laid the next to within club
length of the pin and sank" the put,
Mackle missing his try for a by a hair
| breadth. a few moments later Mulgrew
won for Staten Island by getting down a
1j-footer for 8.
From there on nothing happened to
break the sequence Of halves until the
eighth. This hole is 1Sj yards, and all four
made the green nicely. Mulgrew ran down
put of some twenty feet for a >. and as
/ If TO show that such feats are easy-some-
: timcs-Mackie brought off a shorter one.
Both Duncan and Jolly missed their tries
/ for % by narrow margins. The Staten
| Island pair then stood / up, but their ad-
vantage was short lived as Duncan won
the ninth I'm T. The best ball for both sides
! going out was 80. This was also Duncan's
score Maclle had q 80 to the halfway
/ point.
/ AIacko lost a fine chance to get halve
| for his side ut the tenth hole. when he
missed a yard put for a !. Duncan made
/ the there for his team. and it again placed
; the visiting couple I mp. The thirteenth
/ hole is Js5 yards long. with a brook crossing
the fairway more than four hundred yards
/ from the tee. Both Duncan and Mackie
hit long balls, Duncan pulling his slightly.
/ He was away, and though.it meant tire
menGous carry 10 clear the brook Duncan
never hesitated. The bali was well hit but
failed by a few feet 20 clear the trouble.
AIacke carried the brook with beautiful
second shot, and this enabled him to win
the hole in s. though jolly had a ten-foot
put for a halye.
Duncan outdrove Naclie several yards
going 10 the fourteenth hole, and the visitor
supplemented the fine tee shot with a well
| pitched approach, that left him an eight
! foot put for a 3. which he negotiated. Tn :
won the hole for Duncan's side and made
Staten Island 1 down again. On the next
green Jolly ran down a put for a ?, the dis
lance being about thirty feet. That made
Duncan and jolly . mp, and it would have
/ been up at the sixteenth had Mugrew
not come to the rescue by getting a halve
/ I'm with Duncan, Mackie having topped
his tee shot. The end came at the seven
+ teenth. the wee drap," as they call it, the
distance being 10 yards Duncan laid a
uashie. shot scarcely more than yard
from the cup. and brought OFF the put for a
/ o after Mackie had missed his try from a
distance Of twenty fcat. They played the
4 bye hole, Mackie getting 3, although Dun
can could have had the same mad he not
/ Carelessly missed a put OF less than a yard.
/ So as to get an idea Of the course. Dun
can and Jolly played Macie and Mugrew
/ a hurried round before luncheon, which
resulted favorably 20 the Staten Island pair
/ by the narrow margin Of l up. Duncan will
take part i'm an exhibition at the Wykagyi
Country club to-day. having V. NJ. Ber-
mlrgham for a partner IN the morning
against NJ. J. Condor and Alec Smith.
/ This afternoon Duncan and Smith will
clash I'm an Individual match.
