Ladies' Golf Tournament

Women, they say, are the weaker" sex. Don't Believe It.' For two days last month we watched the so-called weaker sex squelching through water and ploughing through rain and wind without any visible signs of weakness. The occasion of which we speak was the Nelson provincial ladies' match play tournament at the Nelson links. Conditions were indescribable.

The title went to Mrs Joyce Helleur (top left) and, playing, at far left.
