PIRINOA

INTER-CLUB GOLF. (“Times-Age” Special.) The inter-club match between the Pirinoa and Martinborough teams was played on the Pirinoa links on Saturday, and resulted in a win for Martinborough by 7| games to SJ. The weather was fine and the greens and fairways in good order. Only singles were played, and some close games were witnessed, especially in the case of -the two top men, who both produced par golf. The local player won at the last hole. In some of the lower matches excellent golf was also play-ed.--Moore, of Martinborough, registered a 79, which, considering the conditions, was a brilliant round. The local course is by no means an easy one and an 84 is regarded as good. The following were the results (Pirinoa players first mentioned in each case): —B. McMaster beat H. Harvey; D. Tikao lost to S. Martin; G. Munro lost to J. Pike; D. Jones lost to S. Richards; M. McLeod beat M. Perry; J. Riwai beat L. Frank; R. McDougall lost to C. Sievers; T. Hume beat F. Rankine; M. Herangi lost to C. Moore; J. Carter and G. McLeod, all square; K. Waiwera bfi’at D. Matheson; S. Thomas lost to A. Pike; R. Lawrence lost to H. Haycock. Totals: Martinborough 7J, Pirinoa SJ.
