ySOSOG PRO'S 0J? WW rn TUNG by the debacle of our amateurs at this year's Open meeting in Brisbane, the State selectors have acted early to see that it doesn't happen again.

Miss Jacqueline Ma They have named IS leading players to practise for selection in next year's seven-man State From LES RYAN GOULBURN, Saturday. Twenty-four-year-old Lismore professional Bob Swinbourne to-day put up a fighting finish to win the N.S.W.4 Close golf championship. ski also of Sydney, and An tralia's first woman repr sentative in Olympic pai figure skating, left in tt team.

They will play two prac tice matches at Royal Syd ney and Kensington, where next year's Open and ama teur chamnionshiDS will be decided. Later other players who show form will be tried out Himalaya earlier thi month. Miss Davy will compe at Grindalwalk early in Ja uary in the British etui I pionships, and later in tl Lowlanders champkshi prior to the Olympic evei at Cortina, Italy, at the a of January. The Lowlanders chai pionships, to be held at Ml in an effort find a team that can match Victoria. The Brisbane deteat was Bruce Devlin, Peter Lang-ham, Barry Radcliffe.

John Curtis and John Higson comprise the younger brigade. John Higson, son of Claire Higson, is a comparative newcomer to State golf but he has been playing impressively at Australian for the last three years. VfR. E. J.

HYDE will retire next month after five fruitful years as president of the N.S.W. Golf Association. He will continue to serve on the committee. One of the vice-presidents Messrs. J.

S. Macqueen (Manly) and O. H. Paton (Pymble) is expected to succeed him. Mr.

Hyde played a prominent part in the formation of the association, which grew out of the old Golf Council in 1949. Under his guidance it has expanded into the most efficient State, governing body in Australia and has led the way in a tremendous encouragement of both country and junior golf. the biecest debacle our i amateur golf had experien ced since the last war. ously feeling the strain, be was out in 42. At this stage, Swinbourne was playing with moreconfi-dence, but finding it difficult to score.

He was out in 40, reducing Oakman's lead to four strokes. A vital hole to Swinbourne was the 28th. where Oakman took a five and the Lismore player got a par three. Swinbourne, fighting back hard, won the 29th hole, and drew level with Oakman when he sank a 12-foot putt for a birdie three a the 30th. Another 12-footer for, a birdie at the 32nd and a win at the 33rd gave Swinbourne a two-stroke lead.

It looked as if the match was over. Then Oakman fought ren, Switzerland, is a coi petition amongst countri with, restricted snowfieldj. On paper we had one of It was Swinbourne's first major tournament success. Down six strokes with the final 18 holes to play, Swinbourne sank a 12-foot putt on the last green to beat Royal Sydney club assistant professional Eddie Oakman by a stroke. Oakman, who has been a professional for only two months, had a big chance to win the title.

Nerves over the last: 18 holes were his downfall. Oakman, after a morning one-under-par round of -70, looked to be in an unbeatable position with a lead of six strokes from Swinbourne. Only two other professionals, Bill Holder and Colin Johnston, had a rough chance of getting up. Oakman really lost the title on the first nine holes of the afternoon.

Swinbourne sank his 12-foot putt to win the title. Leading amateurs were Ted Rigney with a score of 312, and Jack Barkel and the Goulburn interstate player, John Powell, with scores of 314. Rigney, one of the outstanding putters in the State, gave a shocking exhibition on the greens. He missed putt after putt in. his two rounds, and his lapse cost him the amateur trophy.

Oakman's morning round of 70 equalled the, course record put up by Swinbourne on the first day's play. NS.W. CLOSE CHAMPIONSHIP 301 1 R. Swinbourne (Lismore), 79. 70.
