CLUB GOLF

Play at Manor Park Although the overflow of the Hutt River last week did a certain amount of damage to the Manor Park links, this did not in any way prevent play over the week-end, a large number of members and visitors going out as usual. 'The course was in most parts covered with a fine coating: of dry silt, the flood having subsided in a few hours. This deposit is quickly being absorbed in the tt’rf, and will ultimately do a considerate amount of good. Most of the damage was done to the bunkers, but extra workmen have been engaged to effect complete repairs during the week. On Saturday, an 18-hole bogey competition was held, resulting in three player returning a best score of - down. These were Mrs. Butler, Brockett,, and D. Porter. On Sunday, a 36-hole medal competition resulted in a win for A. Murray, with the record score of il—oB (13V), reducing his handicap by one stroke.
