Freak Cross Country
Golf Is Popular On
British Countryside

LONDON, Feb. 12 R-This is the
season for freakish cross country
golf in Great Britain.
Playing a two-ball foursome from
the st. Augustine club to the last
hole Of the Thanet club course three
miles as the crow flies, B. C. Mac
Namara and c. NJ Benjamin beat
Norman Dore and r. Wilson by 45
strokes. The winners negotiated the
distance in 55 strokes. At one period
of the match Dore and Wilson took
81 strokes to cover 80 yards of
plowed ground-and then drove their
ball into a quarry.
The longest "hole" ever played in
golf was in. a cross country match
in Wales in 1920 when Rupert Phillips
and Raymond Thomas, playing a
ball over a 20 mile route from the
first tee of the Radyr course to
the last hole at Southerdown, won
a wager that they would hole out in
1000 strokes They did it in sos
shots, starting on December and
finally sinking the ball at noon two
days later. The players carried large
ordinance maps.
