6. Rewrite the following passage, correcting anything that may strike
you as an error or an incongruity:--"In an 18-hole match, X., a scratch
player with a handicap of 20, stood dormy 12 at the 17th hole, but while
half-way through the final green was unfortunate enough to get badly
bunkered behind the tee-box. Being required to play 'two more' to his
opponent Y., who had laid himself dead in 6, he only played one of them,
thus holing out in 5, and securing a victory by the narrow margin of 4
up and 7 to play."
7. Given that the regulation charge for a round is a shilling, would you
consider yourself justified in attempting to exact an extra half-crown
for club-cleaning from a player in spectacles, with a handicap of 27 and
a wistful expression? (Candidates are advised to say "No" to this
question.)
