OHAEAWAI’S PAST SEASON

The next few weeks will see the end of the 1934 golf season at Ohaeawai. From all angles the season has been a very successful one, and next year players will have the convenience of their own clubhouse. All materials for the building have been acquired, and only the site remains to be chosen. The final stages of the club championships have now been reached. Next season promises even brighter prospects than this, from a membership point of view.
