DISTRICT GOLF

POVERTY BAY CLUB OFFICIAL CLOSING DAY CANADIAN FOURSOMES Saturday marked the official closing of the Poverty Bay Golf Club for the season, but the other clubs arc playing late season scries. POVERTY BAY CLUB Preparatory to presenting the principle prizes won by the men during the season, the Poverty Bay club captain. Dr. F. Kahlenberg, asked that as many members as possible continue on the summer membership. He emphasised that in the present difficult times it was essential that ail sporting insllitutions should be kept going even at inconvenience and sacrifice by those concerned. It would be very satisfactory to those returning from the war if they could readily continue or take up golf in established clubs. Dr. Kahlenberg said that during the last war many provincial golf clubs were compelled to close their links, but every effort should be made to prevent that happening again. That could be done only by the golfers unavailable for active service. The best wishes of the club were extended to those members who had gone or .were being called up for active service. In the Canadian mixed foursomes competition during the afternoon the best score was returned by A. F. Salmon and Mrs. K. W. Bull (18) 69, and the runners-up were D. M. McIlldowie and Mrs. Humphreys (18), 70. Other scores were: —W. E. Bulllvant and Mrs. Bullivant (16), 72; A. K. Russell and Mrs. Russell (25), 73; A. W. Harper and Mrs. Harper (20), 74; F.
