ward Regains a Hole.

Ward on this one topped his tee shot.
| He also topped at the tenth, and al
though Partridge himself got into trouble
down the -fairway. Ward made it easy
for the Bedford man by visiting the road
way on his second and a trap that was
not exactly in his way on his fourth
Three puts by Partridge on the Eden
eleventh enabled Ward to retrieve one
hole of the disadvantage, but two holes
! further on Partridge sank six foot
putt for birdie 3 to make 1t up and
) to play.
The approaching on this hole was
really high class. Ward was slightly
closer TO the cup than his opponent
OF the second shot, but while Part
ridge holed the Garden City man
missed.
! Partridge did not leave many loop
holes, nevertheless there were some.
With care on his fourth shot Ward
might have got half on the tenth
and he should never have lost the
eighth to a 5. However. the Garden
City player was bunkered from the tee.
Partridge had shot to spare and,
after all. here was quite as good
as par for his purpose.
Tho mistakes OF Partridge outgoing
were few. Ward took three puts to
give him a half after trspped sec
ond at the first hole. At the Redan
second the Bedford man trapped his
tee shot and took two shots to get
clear. Then he allowed half by
taking three puts on tho long sixth

said Ward despite the fact that he
was fully 100 yards from the mark.
"Ah." he said as tho ball flew straight
towards the hole and expired only a
few inches 10 the left. "it looks as II
I used the wrong club"
The circumstances necessitatlng a
fourth shot from such "a distance on
a hole of the drive and approach order
wero unusual. On his first Ward SLICED
and hit tree so that the ball returned
almost TO his feet. From the rough he
then played TO the top OF a mound.

There was q very marked similarity
between the two seni-fnal matches.
For one thing both contests we're all
square at the fifteenth. Then again
Ward and Partridge were each 80 out
and even fours for the eight incoming
holes Ward was in a trap driving for
sixteenth, and with White getting a
good drive, II looked as IL the Nassau
man would win. However. White pro-
ceeded TO butcher the hole from this
point while Ward pulled himself. and
won comfortably with a 4. On the short
seventeenth Ward holed long putt
for 2.
