In the course of an amusing speech at the Wanganui golf links, Mr E. C. Kirk, chairman of the N.Z. Golf Council, introduced as "the father of golf in New Zealand,".quoted a contemporary description of the game. "Golf is the king of outdoor sports. Skill at it is something a rich man cannot buy, nor a poor man inherit. A good man in tins life ought to be rewarded with the right of Avay on the blue-grass fields of the New Jerusalem, and be privileged to play with golden balls and silver clubs, with fluttering female angels for caddies." (Laughter). ,
