GOLF COMPETITIONS

Judgeford Club Opening Day

The annual meeting of the Judgeford Country Golf Club was well attended. In presenting the fifth annual report and balance-sheet to an attendance of 80 members, the chairman, Mr. G. J. Stevenson, congratulated the club on being able to finish the year with a credit balance, in view of the numerous improvements that had been made during the season. The condition of the course throughout the year was very satisfactory, he said, and a credit to the greenkeeper and the committee. The membership of the elub had last year nearly reached the limit, which in itself spoke well for the future. During the evening the members of the club took the opportunity of saying farewell to Mr. E. A. Selman, who has been transferred to Dunedin, and presented him with a travelling case as an appreciation for the service he has given the club as a member of the committee.
