LADIES’ GOLF.

Auckland.

11l the club match played last Monday Miss Hilda Bloomfield was the winner, with a score of 110—31, 79. Other good cards were Miss L. Gorrie, 118—37, 81; Miss A. Carr, 120 —38, 82; Miss C. Hull, 112—29, 83. We were all much impressed with the condition of the greens on Saturday, when playing in the mixed foursomes. If we could have greens like that through the week, we would not mind paying an extra subscription. I do hope our committee will see that if our subscription is raised, we get something for it. A nine-hole course for Saturdays, and wellrolled greens during the week. The Captain’s v. Secretary’s match proved most interesting. There was an entry of nearly 50. and the result was a win for the secretary’s team—ls games to 9. WAITE MATA. Mrs. A. Alison presented a prize for all those players with a handicap of 18 or over. This was won by Miss Bray. All the marches for the season are over. On Wednesday a prize-giving and afternoon tea will take place at the Clubhouse. Approaching and putting competitions will start at 2.30 p.m., and at 3.15 afternoon tea will be served. It is hoped there will be a large muster of members and friends present.
