LONG HANDICAP PLAYERS PLACED ON RESERVE LIST
With an entry of 130, including more than 70 visitors, the committee of the Whakatane Golf Club has been compelled to place on a reserve list those local entrants for the Labour weekend tournament whose handicaps are 20 or more. From this list, vacancies caused by competitors withdrawing will be filled.
“It is quite impossible to accommodate 130 entrants on the course,”, said the secretary, Brigadier A.. E. Conway, for the committee. “As a result of past experience, it has been found that 112 is the maximum number that can satisfactorily play in a tournament and the committee is compelled to reduce the entrants to a manageable number. The committee trusts that members of the club who have been placed on the reserve list will accept the decision with good grace.”
Brigadier Conway mentioned that 12 would-be visitors, whose entries had arrived late, had been excluded from playing. In order to assist the tournament committee to decide the order in which vacancies should be filled from the reserve list, full-playing members are asked to return cards in tomorrow’s competition.
