CANTERBURY CHAMPION

YET ANOTHER GALLOWAY

The- amateur Canterbury championship was won by J. Galloway, Rangipra, from J. Millard, Avondale, by a stroke, after they had tied over 36 holes and played another 18 holes. In tho final round Galloway did a 72 of the very best kind. Galloway is a son of John Galloway, the professional of the Manawa.tu. Golf Club at Palmerstoir North, while his brother, Tom Galloway, is the professional to tho Maungakiekio Golf Club, One Tree Hill, Auckland. Although recognised as a stylish among short handicap players, Galloway was not favoured for tho title, as he had had no practice. There were very few who had seen him playing, because since he has been in Canterbury he has scarcely taken part in an open tournament, although champion at the Rangiora Club in each of the last four years. Lack of sufficient time to practise and play in tournaments—he is a teacher at the Rangiora High School— has prevented him from playing in many. In 1930 he made a bid for the Canterbury championship, but failed to qualify, With rounds of 78 and 79—157. Since "then Galloway has not appeared at an open tournament.
