WORDS FROM THE CAPTAIN
Too much is made of failure in golf; more importance should be attached to success. This sentiment was expressed by R. E. Clements, captain of the Canterbury Freyberg Rose Bowl team, in replying to a toast to the team at the annual dinner of the Canterbury Provincial Golf Association. Canterbury golfers, Clements assured his audience, always tried hard at rose bowl contests and any defeats they might sustain were not through lack of effort or application. This year's Canterbury team was no exception—and there was strong evidence that the trend would be continued by the representatives of tomorrow.
“The future of Canterbury golf is in good hands," Clements declared. "Donald Hope will tell you that the hardest game he has had this year was in the provincial under-21 tournament”
