Leaving the Hinny Mune and walking to the Queen's Hame you meander through a young plantation "where twines the path," and reach the eminence overlooking the waters of the Deuk Dubs and the rippling cascade. What a golfing prospect ! Across the water, spanned by a rustic footbridge, lies the expansive fairway, with the club-house and the bunkers and the birch trees on the left, terminating in the green which can be plainly seen 325 yards away. Part of the fairway is on the slope that rises from the water's edge, and it has a bunker that provides a deserved penalty for a drive that may be faulty in direction and fail to find the crest of the slope. Hut reaching the crest it is easily reached you have a clear way to the green and play advantageously on the descent because the green is about 31 feet lower than the tee. Braid counsels a good iron or mashie shot tor the second, and it yours he really good you need not worry about the hunkers guarding the green tor, as the old song says, "It you never trouble trouble, then trouble never troubles you." The Queen's Hame is linked to the King's Hame in happy harmony; the two are one, and yet in the configuration of the ground each is distinct. The splendid expanse of the combined greens makes putting a pleasure, and although only two put's on the Queen's Hame are required to satisfy Colonel Bogey there are players who putt more possibly tor practice.

from time to time many important events in the golfing world have been decided at Gleneagles. Of these the most outstanding was the £650 Tournament promoted by the Glasgow Herald newspaper, whose splendid enterprise in this connection was quite in accordance with its tine tradition of progress, besides being a sign of the times. This Tournament, held in the month of May, 1920, was open to the World's players, and attracted all the leading professional golfers. As well as treat Britain, France and Spain were also represented, and many of the deciding rounds were of an international character. This greatly enhanced their interest and added to the enjoyment of the spectators. The final between George Duncan and Arnaud Massy was a rare sporting contest.

We shall see.
