Golf

The Golf team is again led by Rodney Barltrop, present Wellington Freyberg and NZU representative.

He will be ably supported by two new members—Graham Drury and Rick Grayson, both golfers of sound form who can be expected to perform well on the long Balmainen course.

The fourth member is John Billington who gained NZU representation at Dunedin in 1967.

The team is not so strong as last year's winning side and its chances of repeating its success well depend not so much on the low scores that Barltrop can be counted on to produce, but upon the ability of the other team members to produce consistent play when required.

This is especially important when it is realised that both Canterbury and the host team Otago will be represented by good consistent golfers, including past and current Freyberg Rosebowl reps.

But the Victoria team should finish among the major place-getters.
