Hi Ladies Hope you are having, or had an enjoyable Easter weekend! Certainly a time to 'recharge the batteries' after a hectic few weeks. CONGRATULATIONS - *Our pennant convenors, Jackie & Anne, & players for participating in 3 Association (strokeplay) pennants & 2 Matchplay pennants. Our team won the 2nd Association pennant @ Tga - well done. Currently our silver girls are 2nd in the Matchplay pennants – final 2 rounds 23rd April & 21st May. *Wednesday & Saturday committees for organising a very successful Open Teams Tournament on 4th March. Otumoetai team won, with Tga teams 2nd & 4th. Thanks to Jim & JC Golf for generous sponsorship. *Lady Vets for running the Althorp Village Grandparents & supporters tournament. Good field of around 90, with prizes for all. Winners were Kyung Soon Lee & John Laing. *Nancy McCormick winners Orana Harris & Mary Chantry with 2 round nett score of 140 – excellent effort! *LGU Winners - Kyung Song Lee (Silver Rounds 1 & 2), Viv Coughlan (Br 1 Rd 1), Margaret Mabey (Br 1 Rd 2) & Chrissie Evans (Br 2 Round 1 & 2) *To our Wednesday Easter Bunnies for their treats last Wednesday – thanks! Upcoming Events *Wednesday 4th April & Saturday 7th April – National Club Teams Championship, qualifying. We need 4 players to qualify for the District Final which will be held in Thames on Monday 30th April. This is a Nett competition.

The weekend rounds should be exciting! Other news *We have changed our pennant shirts to a turquoise colour, with lots of positive feedback. If you want to buy one yourself, I am taking orders. We have some purple ones for sale @ $10 for club funds. *12th Hole proposals. Club officials are assembling feedback from user groups The Players Committee & Board will discuss further. *Good news re supplying morning tea to our visitors when we hold tournaments, pennants etc – our catering contractors Classic Cuisine have agreed we can do this. Thankyou Classic Cuisine. A quote from English poet William Wordsworth - 'Golf is a day spent in a round of stressful idleness' Wishing all good golf as we head into winter. Let's hope for more sun & less rain than 2017! Adrienne Coad Womens Captain |
