THE YPRES TIMES
magnificently, and his driving was worthy of
a scratch player.
At the seventh Frost hit a real peach which
finished within a few yards of the green and he
and his partner got their par 4 to win the hole
and become one up. The short eighth saw the
match all square once again, for Scott was nicely
on whilst his opponent was not so fortunate.
The ninth, a stroke hole, was halved, and the
game was all-square at the turn.
At the 10th, Green (S) sank a 5 yard putt
for a birdie, for Scott and Green to become one
up. The eleventh was halved in 4, and the
twelfth won by Scott and Green in a par 4.
The thirteenth saw Green (S) sink a putt of
about 6 yards to save the hole, but the four
teenth was won by Frost and Green in a par 4.
Frost and Green got into trouble at the
next hole, Frost driving out of bounds and Green
also fluffing his tee shot. They eventually
gave up this hole, to make Scott and Green 2 up
once again.
At the sixteenth both pairs took 6 to get
down, but this was a stroke hole, and a win for
Frost and Green.
The seventeenth was halved in 5, leaving
Scott and Green dormy 1.
The eighteenth was a very exciting hole
with everybody showing signs of nerves. Green
(G) drove a nice shot down the fairway but
Scott hooked his drive into the rough. Green
(S) failed to get out and Scott wisely played up
the first fairway on the left of the green. In
the meantime Frost had trundled his shot along
the fairway (head up) and Green (G) had sliced
their third'shot to the right of the green. Both
were on in four, and Scott clinched matters by
sinking a ten-yard putt and winning the hole
and the match by 2 up.
The players and their friends adjourned
to the Club House to celebrate with the victors
and condole with the vanquished. When the
party finally broke up it was decided that Scott
and Green (S) had also won the 19th.

These gatherings which have afforded so

convivial atmosphere, to renew old acquaint
ances and to further that wonderful spirit of
the Great War. Admission is free to all members

Programmes for the coming season are being

the past. See page 123.
In conclusion, we appeal to every London
member to introduce at least one friend to the
membership of the Ypres League during the
forthcoming season, and we earnestly hope that
serious consideration will be given to this
important matter of recruiting. A substantial
response to this appeal will be very greatly
appreciated by the London County Committee
