Nelson Golf Club Celebrates 75th Anniversary

Members of the Nelson Golf Club are justifiably proud of their organisation. In this, their 75th anniversary year, the club has opened luxurious new clubrooms which incorporate comfort with modern facilities. That the extensions are debt free is further tribute to the club. The course was magnificent for the weekend celebrations and there is no doubt that the club has facilities, both social and playing, equal with any in New Zealand. With so much accomplished, members made the most of the weekend's activities and participated in social and competitive spheres with gusto. Even being plunged into darkness on a couple of occasions when fuses blew did not cause a subsidence of frothy spirits at the Saturday night social.

Officials at the opening of the clubrooms were club captain Frank Ammundsen, president of the Nelson Golf Association, Sandy Sloan, Mayor Roy McLennan, who opened the extensions, John Slade, chairman of the New Zealand Golf Association management committee, and Jerry Harris, club president
