GISBORNE PARK CLUB STANDARD IMPEOVING r l’lie degree by which the standard of golf is improving among the members of the Gisborne Park Coif Club is indicated by tlie scores handed in by the higher handicap players on Saturday. The fact that there was not so much congestion on the links no doubt assisted the slower players, but the cards were good and call for drastic reductions in handicaps. The best- scores were as follow : CL 1.. Winter 59. II (I. Covan 61. S. 1..
