! The committee have beeii considering • , very carefully the question of the best procedure in view of the abnormally ; wet season, which has played havoc with a great deal of the course, making some i parts unfit for play. They have now decided that the course must be closed, '■ except the four holes on the back por- j tion —eleven to fourteen—which may be used by players anxious to get in practice. It is a pity that this should have taken place, but all members will • see the necessity for the decision. i It will be learnt also with keen re- ! gret that the same conditions have ' necessitated postponing the tournament which was proposed for Empire Week in July., It would be quite impossible to play on the course as it is; in addition, players from abroad would get a bad impression of the coiirs^. r> 1 this would be much to be regretted, in view of the good oninion formed by* all \ whojiave visited Hawera.
