Pair seeking a golf hat-trick

) Dennis Beggs and Sue | Bishop will be attempting I their third successive win in the Canterbury golf mixed foursomes championship at Waimairi Beach tomorrow. They will be a difficult combination to overcome. Two years ago they won by six strokes with an excellent) 36-holes gross of 145 and last) year they had a runaway I victory by 15 strokes. Waimairi Beach is not asi open a course as Coringa and j Templeton, venues of their previous triumphs, but that) should not inconvenience them. They are strong and usually accurate strikers of the ball. i Mrs Bishop, the beaten finalist .'n the provincial match-play championship and Canterbury’s No. 1 at this year’s Russell Grace tournament, has had her share of! competitive golf this season. ) However, Beggs, a Frey-) berg representative, has madel a late start to the season and his form has not been too; ) convincing. He is seeking his' I fourth successive win: in 1975 he won the title with j Marie Turnbull. The Canterbury players,!

Geoff Saunders and Jeannette ! Kinnaird, were equal second last year and might be the one to test the title-holders. Miss Kinnaird was Also runner-up in 1976 when partnered by her Corings club-mate, Colin,Hoole. The powerful Fred PosJptt ! and his wife, Nerolie (nee Kersten), will be playing on home territory. Other top ) prospects include John Carlbines and Diane Ritchie and I Roger Sisson and Sue Haydon.
