WHAKATIKI COURSE
FIRST WATT CUP MATCH
Waiwetu members are determined to make their new course at Whakatiki as good as possible, and are just now doing a lot of honourable and honorary work to the river bank as a protective measure. The course is one which will well repay expenditure, being of much the same kind of ground (in the rough) as Heretaunga. Several Shandon players have tried it out individually, and considerable interest will attach to Saturday's Watt Cup match .there between Shandon and Waiwetu. These clubs now have to travel several miles to visit one another, whereas formerly they were less than a mile apart. Waiwetu members will be bound to improve on what will be a very fine course in time. While on the Hutt race track they had many ob-, stacles which had no place on a course devoted to golf, and the links were otherwise rather featureless. Whakatiki is a very different proposition, and so far none of the Waiwetu players has put in a very low score. Saturday's match will test the Whakatiki standard scratch game.
