BLACK BROTHERS IN FORM
It -would be hard to imagine better greens than were played on at the opening of the Hutt AVinter Golf Tourney yesterday, but, with the exception of the leaders, the scoring was poor. J. L. Black led the qualifying rounds, and made a course record by two strokes with a pretty 70, as follows:— •
Watkins and Shelly will play off. The afternoon medal handicap round was won by W. G. Fisher (Hutt), whose putting average and iron play were remarkable, -with 73-3—70. H. A. Black was second with 7'2-scr—72, and T. K. McGregor (74-1—73), L. C. Trigg (Taihape, PO-17-73), L. H. Herd (Hutt, 05-22-73); followed. MASTERTON NOTES. T..H.
