WHERE MANY GOLF CARDS HAVE BEEN RUINED.—J. P. Hornabrook playing his tee shot at the ill-fated thirteenth hole at Titirangi, “The Wrecker.” The ideal drive has to hug the big pine tree (the direction of the hole being further iudicated by the white post just to the right of it). Below and on the left of the tree is tall tea-tree, while a further hazard is an out-of-bounds fence on the right of the fairway, not shown in the picture. The penalty for lost ball or out of bounds is stroke and distance, which entails the playing of a third shot from the tee. As many as 12 strokes have been taken in negotiating this hole during the championship tournament now in progress, while on Saturday I. Mac Ewan established a different record by holing his chip shot for three.
