OTAKI GOLFERS WIN TEAMS COMPETITION

The Wellington Metropolitan 1 Golf Association's annual match of four teams was played on the Wellington Golf Club's coiirse at Heretaunga yesterday, and, as usual, served its main purpose in bringing players of city and suburban clubs together. Thirteen teams competed on handicap, and enjoyed the privilege of playing on the Heretaunga links, which were in capital order. The weather was ideal, the only handicap being a fitful northwesterly wind. The contest was won by the Otaki team with a net aggregate of 300, all the members playing well to their handicaps. The Manor Park four were runners-up with an aggregate of 302. L. B. Quinn (Manor Park) did the best gross round of the match with 74. Taking 37 both ways, he played few loose shots. S. Keeble, the Manor Park champion, covered the course in 77. He made up for an indifferent out joUrney of 42 with a brilliant home run of 35, with a birdie 2 at the fourteenth (195 yards) , where he sank his chip from outside the green. The Wellington quartet came third with 305, A. D. Morris, P. G. Fulton and G. D. Rliind all having net scores of 75. Results: — Otaki (Z. .Gray, 79 — 3 — 76; E. Anderson 83 — 9 — 74; G.
