GOLF PROSPECTS. INFLUENOE QF WEATHER. The dry weather which has been distressing dairy farmers happens to be the very thing desired by the golfing fraternity. The reason is that the unusual shortage of grass militates against lost balls, and with balls costing 4/ or 5/ each this is a large matter. The president of the Te Awamutu Club, Mr Fortescue, who has recently made several rounds of the links without losing a ball, confessed to a reporter that this was unusual good luck for autumn time. Perhaps one’ of the chief results of this state of affairs, will be that new members whose enthusiasm may not yet be up to the point where they become oblivious to costs may be induced in larger numbers than usual to make their first plunge into this healthy game.
The Te Awamutu club’s annual meeting will be held shortly, and the fact that several gentlemen players have already been out gives good promise for the future. The club officials see plenty of work ahead to make the club continue to become a better institution. The membership last season grew to 85 of whom 37 are ladies, it is intended to carry it past 100 this season.
