GOLF FOR BOYS
A NEW OLTJB FORMED
Owing to the keenness of a number of college and other boys to play golf on the municipal links at Berhampoie, the custodian (Mr. R. Hollis) conceived the idea last week of forming a boys' club. Ascertaining in the first instance Hhat the boys were really in earnest in their desire to learn and play the game, Mr. Hollis convened a meeting for Monday evening last at the golf-Arouse. There .was quite a large attendance. Mr. Hollis presided, and a club, to bo called the Wellington Boys' Golf Club,' was formed, and no fewer than 25 lads signed the membership sheet and paid their initiation fee\ The concession obtained for" the members of the club— the first of its kind in New Zealandis that they will be able to play at any time, with tho exception of Thursday afternoon (ladies' day) and Saturday afternoon (men's day), at a cost of 3d. a round of nine holes. Tho inducement for boys to become members of this club lies in the fact that Mr. Hollis is loaning clubs to those that have none, is to ground them in the rules of the game, and impart all those subtleties of style of which he is such a master.
