Maori Golf Contest at Napier W. J. Godfrey, Auckland amateur golfer and defending title-holder, forfeited two holes and still won comfortably from J. Matehaere, Te Awamutu, to take the men's title at the New Zealand Maori golf championship at the Waiohiki links, near Napier, last August. He beat his chief rival, Tom Ormsby, Otorohanga, 5 and 4 in the semifinals. Since then Godfrey has distinguished himself at the recent World Series in Japan, when he broke 69 and helped to take New Zealand to a close third in the first round. Mrs Audrey Mullany, Napier, won the women's championship after a 24-year break; as Audrey Tareha she took the title once-before in 1938. The semi-finalist was Miss M. Winterburn, Otaki, whom she beat 4 and 3.
