NEW PUKEKGHE COURSE. OPENING NEXT MONTH. "Membership, conllcencc and club spirit have increased and finance has been improved to an unprecedented position," stated the report presented by the captain, Mr. M. R. Grierson, at the annual meeting of the Pukekohe Golf Club. It was mentioned that the transition from the old course on the racecourse at Pukekohe to the new course, constructed on the property on the Pukekohe-Runcimau Road purchased by the club some months ago, had 1 involved, difficulty and expense, but it represented a dream come true. The labour made available by the Government for the construction of the new course had advanced the project to a stage which it might have taken the club eight to ten years to reach otherwise. Club members, as working bees were now converting the building on the property into a clubhouse. About 40 members were present at the -meeting.. The president, Mr. J.
