One of the main factors in the success of the returned soldiers’ bowling tournament held at Waipawa last Sunday was the excellent condition of the green. Thanks for this are largely due to the club groundsman, Mr R. Petherick, who “shaved” the green in the morning and gave it an extra rolling during the luncheon adjournment.
