WOMEN’S GOLF

ANDREWS’ CLOSING DAY PRESENTATION OF TROPHIES The Hamilton Ladies’ Golf Club was fully compensated for any inconvenience it may have suffered during the past season at the hands of the weather, by a brilliantly fine day yesterday, for its closing function, when there was a very large gathering of members. A four-ball best-ball competition was played during the day, the winners being Miss V. Cann and Miss E. Wright.
