GOLF NOTES.

lii the golf match on Saturday last, Shannon v. Manawatu, an easy win was secured bv the home team by games to 34. No doubt the local conditions; wm-e" somewhat in favour of the Shannon pi avers, and in the return match at Palmerston next month we may see the order of things reversed. The wea. ther was perfect foil golf and the otouihls were in. splendid order. The visitors thoroughly enjoyed the outing, and were entertained at luncheon at the Manawatu Hotel; and later at af--lernoon tea at the golf house by the ladv members. The President (Mr Blackwood) in extending welcome to the visitors, expressed the pleasure it o-ave the Shannon -plaj’ers in having members from Manawatu and the good sportsmanship such inter-club games fostered.
