GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS MISS P. SCHOFIELD AND R. WESTON SUCCESSFUL. ("Times-Age” Special.) The finals for the 1940 golf championship were decided during the weekend. The links were in good order, and keen contests resulted. For the ladies’ honours Miss P. Schofield, the 15-year-old girl, who has been playing good, consistent golf during the whole of the season, defeated Mrs E. L. Nitz two and one over the 27-hole course, and thus wins the Nitz Cup. The final for the men's championship was even more closely contested going to the last hole of the 36-hole course before it was decided, R. Weston defeating M. Paku one up, and taking the Cameron Cup. In the handicap class Mrs J. Bannister won the McGregor Cup, and N. Foreman (holder) won the Bannister Cup for the second year.
