CANTERBURY BEATS BULLER-WESTLAND

11-GAMES MARGIN IN TEMPLETON MATCH Canterbury beat Buller-Westland by 14j games to 3j in the annual golf tournament, played at Templeton yesterday.

Robertson, of Timaru, who scored six birdies in his game against L. Domigan and beat nim, 4 and 3. A welcome to the Buller-Westland team was given by Mr H. Langford, on behalf of the Canterbury Provincial Golf Association. B. Caulton, captain of the West Coast team, replied. Results (Canterbury names first):— Foursomes.—J. R. Davis and D. M.
