NAPIER, last night. Kapi Tareha to-day won the final of the Hawke’s Bay golf championship, beating F. S. Fryer eight up and six to play- x A MOVING HAZARD. There are many strange hazards in which a golfer may involve himself, says a writer in the Bulletin and Scots Pictorial, but it is not very often that any player manages to drop his ball into a bunker that is actually moving. A curious case is related from Aberdeen links. The golfer was driving into the teeth of a stiff north, wind, and he sliced rather badly. The ball took a scmi-circular course, fell into the sand on the shovel with which a greonkeepor was filling the too boxes, and was carried some distance before the worker realised what had happened.
