Bernard Darwin interviews C. A. Whitcombe.
This is the first of a new series of golfing broadcasts in which Bernard Darwin, the well-known amateur golfer and writer on golf, will introduce famous professionals. The 'pros' will demonstrate a variety of shots on the miniature golf links in Alexandra Park.
The first professional to appear in this series, C.A. Whitcombe of Crews Hill Golf Club, is the second of the remarkable trio of golfer brothers. He has won the West of England Professional Championship three times, the Northern Professional Championship once, the News of the World Tournament twice, was third in the Open Championship in 1935, and has played for Great Britain on a number of occasions.

This famous choir, which is to give a special St. David's Day programme, has won the highest honours at the World Fair in Chicago and the Paris Exhibition. As far back as 1894, when Queen Victoria was on the throne, it was taken under royal patronage. The singers usually perform in traditional Welsh costume.
Its founder and conductor, Madame Clara Novello-Davies, is now seventy-five years of age. She has specialised for many years in voice-building and breath control, and has written several books on these subjects. And like her son, Ivor Novello, she has composed a good deal of music.
