Thursday 11th March – PROPERTY BROKERS’ LADIES OPEN DAY There were 60 players in the field, a little down on previous years, but the weather forecast was pretty crappy. This is the first year that we were lucky enough to receive sponsorship from Property Brokers’ Pahiatua and Woodville branches and it was nice to be joined by their ladies, Jude, Jacqui and Fiona to present the prizes.

LADIES’ STUFF – things you might not know:
*Home Links are events that are played at home club courses with district and national winners being determined from individual club results. The events are: Coronation Medal nett competition for Silver division only, Aotearoa Cup nett competition for Silver and Bronze players, Best Gross Cup an 18hole gross competition for Silver and Bronze players, and a Veteran’s Trophy nett competition for Silver and Bronze players who are over 70 years of age as at the date of the competition.
LGU – (Ladies’ Golf Union) are medal competitions set by the Committee each year. A minimum of 6 and a maximum of 16 rounds are to be scheduled annually. Players are to use their current handicap index on the day of play.
NZ Golf give each club Silver and Bronze medals to be awarded to the player with the lowest aggregate of the best four scores returned in her division. There is one Silver medal and the number of Bronze medals depends on how many players fall into the Bronze division handicap range.
Our club awards a Gold or Silver medal for best nett on LGU rounds, along with awarding a Stableford button for the best points that day. Best stableford points on LGU day are used for qualifying and seeding of the ladies’ Shootout.
Eclectics - cards are in the box in the ladies’ room – for more information please ask at the starter’s office, or see a committee member. Ideally, scores should be entered on the day of play.
Simply record your scores per hole when you play and add your better scores to produce an 18-hole score which will be calculated to determine the players from each division who have had the best cumulative nett round for the year from Opening Day. You must have a score for each hole, and the entry is to be dated and initialled by your marker. Rounds that are eligible for eclectics are all club competitions and matchplay where you have holed out. Extra day cards are not eligible, and neither is a “gimmee” score.
Par and Birdie Tree charts – can only be entered on Saturday or Tuesday competition days
These lovely charts are on the wall in the ladies’ room by the library. Simply write your name on the matching card for the hole where you score a par or a birdie. The annual winner for each will get to look after a stunning lady doll for the year. Why wouldn’t you want to win that?
