GOLF CLUB CLOSING DAY Golfers of the Temuka district brought their season to a close -on Saturday with a mixed foursome competition. The best cards handed in

After the competition had concluded and afternoon tea, the gift of the lady members, had been served, the president (Mr C. L. Fraser) said it was with regret that they came to the close of another season. It had been decided to close the season because of the long grass. The day’s competition had been most successful and the fact that the leading scored had been so close reflected great credit on the handicappers, Miss K, McShane and Mr J. T. Smart. Throughout the season the secretary (Mr W. S. Harbrow) had carried out his office most efficiently and he (the speaker) thought it would be fitting to show appreciation of the work of the ladies’ captain (Miss Mc?"icne) and secretary (Mrs D. Lauren - son). A vote of thanks was then carried by acclamation. Mr Fraser also moved a vote of thanks to the ladies for providing and serving afternoon tea. This was also carried by acclamation.

On behalf of the women players, Mrs A. S. Mclnnes said that a most enjoyable season had been spent and they wished especially to show public appreciation of the work of Miss McShane, who had so ably filled offices for the last few years. She then handed to Miss McChane a small present from fellow-players. The following trophies were then presented by Mrs J. T. Smart, wife of the club captain:— Women—Oldfield Cup (senior championship), Mrs J. Dick; challenge cup (junior championship), Miss E. McLeod; L.G.U. silver medal, Mrs Dick; L.G.U. bronze medal, Miss B. Austin; C grade button (Mr C. L.
