TE NGUTU GOLF CLUB

GOOD SEASON REPORTED. OFFICERS ELECTED FOR YEAR. The report of the Te Ngutu Golf Club presented at the annual meeting on Tuesday night, said that the financial position necessitated very careful administration by the committee. There was a email credit balance, and the committee was prompted to submit a proposal to raise the subscriptions. The activities of the club were maintained, owing in a large measure to the enthusiasm and pleasant co-operation of members and officers, and the efficient services of the club captains, Miss E. O’Dowd and Mr. G. S. Todd, and the greens committee, Messrs. H. R. Penny and C. Evetts. The membership comprised 37 men and 43 women, compared with 39 men and 45 women the previous year. Many good matches were played with neighbouring clubs, and interest was maintained by a series of club fixtures. The senior championship was won by Mr. G. Good, with Mr. •H. R. Penny runner-up; junior championship by Mr. G. S. Graydon, with Mr. E. Oldfield runner-up; the Stevenson Cup by Mr. R. Green, with Mr. G. Barclay runner-up; the Crawford tankard (best pair) by Messrs. T. Betts and H. Evetts; the Dewar Challenge Cup by Mr. G. Good, with Mr. I. Crawford runnerup; the women’s senior championship, Bennet and Sutton rose bowl and Fraser Cup by Miss E. O’Dowd, Miss J. Joyce runner-up in the senior championship; junior championship by Miss J. O’Sullivan, with Mrs. G. Barclay runner-up; Miss Alice Betts’ trophy (non-handicap players) by Miss Audrey Betts; Miss J.

B. Gibson (Eltham club) for treating the greens. . Mr. O. Robertson presided over an attendance of about 30. A vote of sympathy was passed with the relatives of the late Mr. P. Harris.
