Goodbye.
Mot girls came a very creditable 2nd behind Nelson in the final of the 36 hole Westrupp cup held at Nelson on Sunday 7 June
Our team of Gaye, Penny B, Meredith and Linda C once again did us proud in the Interclub matches against Marlborough on their home course. They had 2 wins ,1 draw and a very close loss on the last hole after having to give 7 shots. The team noted that the course was in the best condition they have played on over there making it a very pleasurable day. Well done team and good golfing for our next matches on 20th July at Nelson.
PINK LADY DAY.
A very successful Pink Lady day was held on Thursday with 45 Ladies from around the district coming together dressed in varying shades and styles of pink to raise money for Breast Cancer. The winners for the day were The Happy Wee Kiwis Team of Helen, Kay and Wendy, best individual stableford Lou Kelly and best dressed Judy Waugh and Geraldine Taylor. We raised $467 from the proceeds from our raffles consisting of items donated by our members. Well done to our organising team and of course all the Club staff who helped make it such an enjoyabe day.
