GAIN IN POPULARITY ASSOCIATION TO REPORT TO LORD FREYBERG (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 27. The New Zealand Golf Association will write to Lord Freyberg, donor of the Freyberg Rosebowl for interprovincial competition, telling him that the annual tournament has grown in popularity until it has become a major event almost rivalling the New Zealand championships. “The tournament has developed until it is almost more sought after than the championships,” said the chairman of the association’s council (Mr G. P. Roberts) at today’s meeting, when he announced his decision to write to Lord Freyberg

The council decided to congratulate the Canterbury sponsors of the recent rosebowl tournament.
