A remarkable record has been established on the Awapuni Golf Club by Mrs G. J. O. Booth, of Ngatapa. In 1940, as a young golfer fresh from England, she won the P. B. Women's Open Tournament and the P. B. Club Women's Championship. This year, 21 years on, she completed the double again. In the interval between, she has won both titles on a number of occasions, but her feat in annexing both titles twenty-one years apart must rank as something special in the annals of New Zealand golf.
