LADIES’ GOLF.

Auckland.

The first round for Mrs Colbeek’s trophy for players without handicaps created great interest. Miss Hilda Bloomfield and Miss Eva Cumming did equal scores of 128, just missing their handicap by a few strokes. To gain a handicap a score of 122 must be returned, which, less the par of the green, which is 82, leaves 40. The winners should come from one of theste two. The second round was played o'/ Monday, 30th, and resulted as follows:— Mrs. W. R. Bloomfield (Captain) kindly presented a prize for the senior players who played with those players without handicaps who were playing for Mrs Colbeek’s prize. Miss Eva Cumming not only won but also gained a handicap of 29, doing the two rounds in 237; Miss McLean was second 256, Miss Mavis Clark 261. Miss M. Cotter won the senior prize with 168 for the two rounds. The monthly nied'al will be played for on Monday 6th. The Coronation Medal, which was played for on Friday, 27th, all over the Dominion, for players with L.G.U. handicaps of 25 or less, resulted! in Miss Ethna Pierce handing in the best card: 96—12—86. Miss Jean Richmond, 110 • —23—87; Mrs McCrea (Palmerston

North), 117—18—99. The following players entered, but for various reasons did not return cards: —Mrs W. R. Bloomfield, Miss E. Martin, Miss J. Draper, Miss M. Cotter, Mrs Edmunds, Miss Rachel Gorrie, and Miss Alison. The Palmerston North scores are: —Mrs L. Abraham, 93; Miss S. Abraham, 93; and Miss Wray, 94. The match was played in a very high wind, which no doubt accounts for the high scores. Maungakiekie Club. The first medal handicap was played for by the lady members, over a ten-hole course. Miss Eva Cumming, with a score of 67—20-—47, being the winner. Miss Nellie Coutts, 66 —12—54; Miss M. Cotter, 60—9—60; Miss E. Martin, 71— 7—64; Miss W. Cotter, 79 —12—67; Mrs Robertson, 93—25 —68; Miss E. Hamilton, 88—15—7.3. A number of players did not return cards, as their score was ruined at Jacob’s Ladder. There is some talk that the ladies’ tee will be put one step higher. There is no doubt that this hole is fatal to most beginners, and is more or less the nature of a “freak” hole. 1 believe it is unique. Hawera. A putting and approaching competition was played on the Hawera links last Tuesday. The distances were 20, 40, 60, and 80 yards. Mrs Glasson was the winner, with a net score of 14 for the four distances, iflrs Wallace was second with 15. Wellingt- n.
