Mrs. Bevan, the local and also New Zealand lady champion, did a. remarkable round of 85. Considering that tl.n «„ar of the "Teen" is 85-tl»s is calculated on the score that the ladv champion of the world would iput up if playing at her very best —Mrs. Bevan $ performance is a. truly remarkable one, and o-oes to show that Otaki possesses a "rolfer who is little short of a marvel. Mrs. Winterburn's score over the same ho'es recently, when she won the coronation medal, was 94. but that Uadv had a handicap of 17, which won her the > trophy.
