CENTENNIAL TOURNEYS I .AST- MINI TE DEC ISIONS i Naturally enough the Dominion 1 authorities are hoping that their Cen- ■ tennial tournaments at Auckland, I Christchurch, and Wellington in OctoI ber and November of this year will ' attract some of the world’s finest play. ers, but the lack of response so far must be rather disappointing. However, it is reasonable to assume that in the case of the majority they will be last-minute decisions. The Auckland open tournament will be held on October 23 and 24, and this will be followed by an open tourna- , ment in Christchurch, on November 2 | > and 3. Then will come the biggest I tournament the New Zealand Gon As-1 sociation has ever conducted. This J will be the meeting at the Miramar I ■ links, at which the New Zealand Open. 1 i Amateur, Professional, and foursomes championships for 1939 will be decided I [from November 9 to November 17. j A. D. (Bobby) Locke, holder of the [New Zealand Open, has stated his indention of competing, and this in itIself should be an attraction. Norman | Von Nida, who recently played a i series of exhibition matches in New i Zealand, with Eric Crernin, the AusItralian professional champion, may I also be among those competing, if •there was a certainty that strong i.Xmcii.an and European contingents ! would be present then the worries of . i th? New Zealand Council would be re- I |-.iuc'..‘d to a minimum. TAWHERO VISIT FORDELL .
