GOLF MRS H. HOOPER WINS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP FOR ELEVENTH TIME

For the eleventh time Mrs H. H. Hooper won the Greymouth Women’s Golf Club championship when she defeated. Mrs Wilkins 4 and 3 in the finalon Wednesday afternoon. The weather was ideal and the links in good condition. Mrs Wilkins took the-lead at the first hole, Mrs Hooper winning the second with a birdie 3, whilst Mrs Wilkins won the third, with a bogey 3, making her 1 up. again. The fourth and fifth holes were halved, Mrs Hooper winning the sixth with a. bogey s—the seventh was halved in sixes, then Mrs Hooper won the eighth and ninth in bogey figures to make her score two up in her favour. The tenth was won by Mrs Hooper with a bogey.s, making her 3 up—she held this lead by halving the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth holes and was then in the handy, position of three up with only four holes to play. At the. fifteenth hole both players had good drives, but Mrs Wilkins duffed her second, Mrs Hooper being on the green in three easy shots to Mrs Wilkins four, Mrs Hooper having two putts for a bogey 5, thus winning the hole and the match by 4' and ,3. ' Mrs Hooper on a 9 handicap, is a very consistent golfer and with more club competition would .no doubt be on a much lower handicap—the next best handicaps in the Greymouth Club being one on a 14 and two on 15. Another- club member on a handicap of say 10. or under would be a great 'asset to Mrs Hooper’s golf.
