FORDELL CLUB INFORMAL OPENING. The Fordell Golf Club held an informal opening day for club members on Saturday afternoon. The weather was ideal for golf. There was a good muster of players and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent by all. The fairways and greens were in first class order considering the long spell of dry weather, and some good cards were returned.
A Canadian Foursome was played, the president, Mr. B. Burnett, driving the first shot, an excellent one, from the tee.
The following players and visitors were present: Mesdames R. Sutherland, Beattie, Cavanagh, Annand, Aiken, Bousfield, A. Sutherland, Swan Wanganui), Mclndoe (Wanganui); Misses Facer, Williams, Swan (Wanganui), Saunders Orsman, Coburn (Marton); Messrs. D. McGregor (patron), B. Burnett (president), Bousfield (captain), Nind (secretary), Rochel (treasurer), Aiken (vice-capt.), B. Annand, R. Sutherland, Forlong, A. Sutherland, Mclndoe (Wanganui), Cook, Pope, Cavanagh, J. Howie, Mclndoe jr.; Mr. Blythe (patron of Wangaehu Golf Club) was a visitor over the week-end.
Mr. D. McGregor (patron) has kindly donated a silver rose-bowl for play by lady members. Other donors of trophies are The Wanganui Furniture Exchange and Mr. R. E. Cuthbertson respectively.
