New Plymouth Golf Club. At the annual meeting of the New Plymouth Golf Club the following officers were elected: —Captain, Mrs. Johns; hon. secretary, Miss Brewster; committee. Mesdames Glenn, Paton, R. Quilliam, Walker and Miss Blundell. It was decided to play fewer matches this season, all entrance monies to go to patriotic funds. Last year this club contributed nearly £2O towards Red Cross and other patriotic funds. This season the club has inaugurated a new match. Players are to bring some gift such as sox, handkerchiefs or any suitable gift, to send to our soldiers, and it is hoped that a good sized parcel will be sent away from the club each month. On Tuesday, May 2, the season was opened with a Red Cross medal match, 14 players entering. Following are the best scores: Mrs. Johns, 103—20—83; Mrs. B. Johnston, 127 —40 —87; Miss Putt, 118 —30 —88; Mrs. McQuade, 117 —27 —90. • * * * Miss Stephenson, vice-president of the New Zealand Ladies’ Golf Union for New Plymouth, is leaving for Australia en route for England. Miss Stephenson won the New Zealand Ladies’ Golf championship in 1905, and is a player of sterling merit. She will be much missed in the New Plymouth Golf Club.
