WOMEN'S TOURNEY SWISSES KAY AND GAISFORD IN THE FINAL (rasas ianocuwoit tsi.eokam) WANGANUI, October 18. Except for a strong wind at the more exposed positions, conditions were ideal for the semi-finals of the Dominion women's golf championship. Both games, however, proved onesided, and, strange to say, both were won at the twelfth hole. Miss B. Gaisford's experience told uie tale in her match with Miss Curne, the Belmont champion, and she won 7 and 6 after being 6 up at the turn. Miss O. Kay showed a return to her best form in her match with Mrs Stout. She was two over bogey on the outward journey, but, when trie game ended at the twelfth, she was | equal to bogey. She registered birdies at the first, tenth, and eleventh. Miss Kay won by 7 and 6. ' Results: — SEMI-FINALS. Miss Kay beat Mrs Stout, 7 and 0. Miss Gaisford beat Miss Curne, i and 6. „ A Good Card.
