GOLF.

MEN’S SECTION. That Wakatipu golfers have had little experience in combating the elements such as prevailed on Saturday last was very evident. The result was, to put it mildly, that the scores were not good. The boisterous gusts of wind which intermittently disturbed the concentration of a player about to "putt” were a source of worry, and on the majority of greens players felt that they had no control over the ball. A. H. Cooke, however, who hails from North Otago, has had more experience of the climatic disturbances that are more or less foreign to the conditions prevailing at Wakatipu. His score of 89 was most creditable and incidentally it placed him at the top of 4he list of players who qualified for championship honours. The following arc the scores of players who qualified over 30 holes:, A. H. Cooke 188, R. Gilkison 189, F. Stoop 195, A. Griffin 19®, J. McNeill 202, I). Macdonald 205, W.
