CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS D. RAMSBOTTOM WINS' SENIOR CONTEST The finals of the Te Awamutu Golf Club championships were played during last week-end in ideal weather. The course was in excellent condition. In the senior event between D. Harding and D. Ramsbottom, the latter was four up at the luncheon adjournment, having returned a score of 75 to the former’s 79. At the commencement of the afternoon rounds, Harding improved his position by winning the first three holes in bogey figures. He lost the fourth with a return of six strokes to Ramsbottom* s 5, and won the fifth with a four, the rest up to the ninth being halved. Both scored good fours at the tenth, but Ramsbottom showed great accuracy over the next three holes, returning 2,5, and 4 at the 11th, 12th and 13th. Harding returned scores of 4,7, and 5 on the same holes, leaving Ramsbottom four up. Harding won the 14th with a 3 against Ramsbottom’s 4. The next two holes were halved, and the match ended at the 16th with Ramsbottom winning by 3 and 2, making him the senior champion for 1950. R. D. Haycock had a substantial win over his finalist opponent, A. Fisher, to become the junior champion for 1950 by 6 and 4. In the third grade championships, B. Wilson defeated G. Mills in one of his best games this year. Wilson showed keenness and should have further successes. The senior Parker Plate was won by B. Quin who defeated J. Regan 1 up. N. Shirley won the junior Parker Plate from F. Miller by 4 and 3. D. R. McLeay won the Consolation Handicap from J. Wilson 2 up. C. Rickitt has had his handicap redduced to 17-1-16.
