GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

PREPARATIONS AT DUNEDIN. ■ By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. The New Zealand golf championship . meeting opens on the Balmacewan links I to-morrow. The very dry season has made the course hard and the greens are fiery. The heavy rain of Wednesday night has, however, had a beneficial effect. All the outside competitors have arrived and have been indulging in the usual preliminary practices. The strong winds that have prevailed all the week have made play very difficult and no outstanding returns have been made, but many of the players have shown form indicating that there should be some high-class and interesting golf at the meeting. There are indications today of the weather improving. The following are the entries for the open and the centres to which players belong:— Auckland. —Sloan Morpeth.
