Long prize list in golf

The prize list is long for “The Press” Garden City Golf Classic at the two Harewood courses on November 17 and 18. The first 30 teams are assured of prizes and the list might extend further. Each member of the winning team will receive a Big Softie lounge chair and the four members of the second team will all win a new Spalding golf bag. Four sets of garden furniture will be given to the team which finishes third.

The Mount Cook Line, which sponsors the par-3 seventeenth hole on the old course, will again offer special prizes for the near-est-to-the-pin competition, the main prize being a trip for two to Rotorua.

Spalding has become the

new sponsor of the putting competition on the practice green and the company has donated a golf bag to the winner.

The charity tournament will be held for the eighth year at Harewopd and the chosen charity this year is the Salvation Army.
