Golfers swing into top form

This year has seen a revival of interest in the Victoria University Golf Club.

One of Victoria's oldest clubs, it recently applied for re-affiliation with the VUWSA.

This revival in interest has probably been stimulated by the fact that the golf events for this year's Winter Tournament will be held at the Miramar Golf Club.

Also an important factor is the effect a number of players of 5 handicap or better, competing for a place in the four-man tournament team, have had on the club's morale.

Besides catering for a tournament team, members of the newly-elected committee have decided to expand the operations of the club.

This term, the club intends to hold club days which will be open to all student golfers.

At present, the committee is investigating the possibilities of a match against the Wellington Junior Golfing Society.

It is hoped that this event will take place in the near future.

The first official activity of the club will be a trophy day to be held at the Miramar Golf Club on Sunday, 16 June.

This competition is being held with the view of assembling all players likely to be candidates for the tournament trials to be held later in the term.

The competition is open to all full and part-time students who hold a club handicap of 9 or better.

Green fees will be paid by the club, so players' costs will be minimal.

All players, interested in competing, should leave their name and phone number on a list posted on the golf notice board in the Student Union, or phone either the Club Captain Rod Barltrop, or the Secretary John Billington at Weir House: 28-949.
