Professional Golf
A gallery of some 300 witnessed a thrilling match of topline golf when the Australian professional Bob Tuohy defeated Aucklander Walter Godfrey by one stroke at the Poverty Bay Golf Course in brilliant weather in early January.
After starting poorly, Godfrey made up his considerable deficiency with some brilliant play to bring him equal with his more consistent opponent, only to be beaten by the final putt of the match.
