Maori Golf
Association Championships

From the preparations made by the Central King Country Maori Golf Committee and with the help of our sponsors, Dominion Breweries, this year's Maori Golf Association Championships at the Tarrangower Golf Club, Taumarunui (held on 23–26 August) should be a really memorable occasion.

Always a highlight for our Maori golfers, the Championships are catered for on a marae basis. While this is so favourable for visitors and players alike, it calls for a great effort and much planning on the part of the local people. But this is a very good thing, for in many respects it is on these occasions that we see Maoritanga at work.

It is a time when new friends are made, and old friendship cemented, a time when the older folk hand over to the younger. It is, as well, a time when the stories of old are told, especially after the evening kai, and when golfing stories are also told freely.

Kia ora and good golfing.
