WELLINGTON JUNIOR TOURNAMENT

(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 21. The Wellington District Golf Association expects to receive entries from all over New Zealand for its provincial junior and boys’ open championships on the Heretaunga course on September 1,2, and 3.

The first year the tournament was decided entirely on medal play, but this season there will again be regular championship conditions—36-hole’ medal qualifying rounds and then match play to decide the winner.
