TAUPO GOLFERS WIN EWERT SHIELD
The second match for the Ewert Shield between Taupo and Putaruru Golf Clubs, was played on Sunday on the Putaruru Club's course. Putaruru won the contest by 14 matches to 9, with 4 halved, but the lead of 7 games held by Taupo in the round played on their home course in May was sufficient for the Taupo Club to take the trophy by 25 points to 23. Light rain fell throughout the day and Taupo players found difficulty in handling the unusually heavy greens. Taupo has won the shield on only one previous occasion, when it was competed for on the local course in 1948. This season's is the first success since the two-match system was introduced in the following year, and is an indication of the growing strength of the Taupo Club.
