DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS.

A PROPOSAL REJECTED.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WALGANUI, Monday. A proposal brought forward by. Mr. F. C. Fryer, on behalf of the Parkvale Club, to amend the New Zealand Golf Association's rules to provide for the setting up of district associations, created.a lively discussion at the annual conference of the association this evening. Mr. Fryer also proposed that the capital levy should remain at 2/ for men and 1/ for ladies, but that a percentage of the sum raised by each association should be retained by it and the balance remitted to the New Zealand Association. Mr. L. Seifert, Palmerston North, said he was of the opinion that golf could not be worked in New Zealand without some centralised organisation. Other delegates objected on the score of expense, and said golf was an individual game, and it could not be seen what work there would be for sub-asso-ciations to do. The proposal was rejected. The council was re-elected with the exception of the substitution of Mr. R. 0. Chesney fpr Mr. N. R. Balneavis. A recommendation was made to the council that the amateur and open events beseparated.
