Miramar Open Tournament

MISS S. COLLINS HEADS LIST OF QUALIFIERS

The Miramar Ladies’ Golf Club had an entry of about 130 for its open championship and handicap tournament, which opened yesterday. Flayers were present from as far south as Westport, and Wellington clubs were all well represented. Two qualifying rounds were played for the championship, the list being headed by Miss S. Collins (Wairarapa and Wellington), New Zealand woman champion, who covered the course in 86 and 82. She wanted a 4 for an 80 at the home hole in the afternoon, but popped her iron second into a bunker to the right of the green and took 2 to get out, a 6 going down on her card. Mrs. H. Pearce (Miramar) enme next with steady rounds of 84 and 85. The links were in capital order, but a blustering north-westerly wind made good scoring difficult.
