CALDWELL’S GOOD FORM

Returns To Golf Team The experienced representative golfer, C. W. Caldwell, who has not played for Canterbury since 1963 because of illness, won back his provincial place on the strength of his splendid consistency in a trial match played over the last two weekends. Caldwell finished one up in a bogey match played over 72 holes at Shirley, Waitikiri and Templeton yesterday and the previous Sunday. The next best score was eight down.
