A jumble of golf lore and banter unfolds with players Barrie Payne and others trading jabs about strokes, caddies, backspin, and slippery grips. The piece riffs on humorous proverbs, mishaps in wind gusts, and mock serious reflections on the game and its quirks.
Fragmented column blends mock golfry with policy notes on graziers fees and wool selling zones. It joins comedic quips about caddies with reports on stock theft, police patrols, and the zone system funded to £200,000, urging deductions from every grower’s clip for the fund.
Graziers at the New South Wales conference pass a resolution backing the country killing principle if plans are well considered and the works site is suitable with a competent directorate. Delegates warn against speculative issues and seek thorough inquiry into viable wool production, aiming to meet trade needs with about 60 000 bales.
A party from the Mental Hospital pursuing foxes on the Canoblas mountains divided to drive a fox toward ambush. While resting, shooters slept beside their guns and were awakened by a firearm discharge from a fox striking a weapon, killing an occupant among the guns. The old fox likely caused the accidental discharge. The report mentions a hotel address in Sydney and a May 28 evening event at the Valdenbers Hotel area.
