Best of the Best
This event was hosted by Nelson this year and we were lucky the forecast horrific windy weather forecast only arrived for the last 2 holes with very challenging strong wind. Marlborough were prevented from attending due to the treacherous conditions over the hill. Motueka had a very successful day winning the Club team of the year and Pauline Sutherland winning section 2 best nett and Gaye Milnes winning Section 1 best nett.
A big thanks to our very supportive caddies. Unfortunately Irene and Lorraine missed the Best of the Best due to previously made commitments.
Well done team the Motueka Club is proud of your achievments.
You will recall that in June 2019 President Peter announced in his Newsletter that if any member of our club purchased a vehicle from Bowater Hyundai/Isuzu, either new or used, the club will benefit by $250.
It's all ticking along very nicely. Thank you to Bowaters, and thank you too to our members who have all purchased vehicles.
