Inter-Island Golf For Junior Teams

Many of New Zealand’*

beat young golfers will take part in the inaugural inter-island match between Junior Golfing Soclety teams at Nelson during Easter. Four stroke rounds will be played on an Eisenhower Trophy basis, with the best four scores counting. Each team will comprise six girls and six boys. The North Island girls will be particularly strong, as they are headed by Miss H. Booth (Gisborne), runner-up in the last Australian women's championships, and Miss G. J. Taylor (Taranaki), the 1965 New Zealand women's champion. The South Island girls' team includes Miss C. Sullivan (Canterbury), a semi-finalist in the national women’s title event last year, and the New Zealand junior champion, Miss M. Ensor (Canterbury). G. R. Lummis (Nelson), who beat S. G. Jones and E. J. McDougall in a day in last year’s Freyberg contest, is in the South Island boys’ team with three members of the

Canterbury team to play Wellington—D. R. Hope, J. A. Orr and R. M. Farrant. The outstanding Invercargill lefthander, P. R. Adams, was not available.

The South Island team is: Boys.—G. R. Lummis, D. R. Hope, J. A. Orr, P. J. Amos, R. M. Farrant, B. C. Taylor. Girls.—C. Sullivan. M. Ensor, S. Boag, S. Bissett, H. Ballantyne, S. Reeves.
