The Annual Aorangi Women’s Veterans Tournament

The Annual Aorangi Women’s Veterans Tournament took place at Pleasant Point Golf Club was played recently in warm and pleasant playing conditions. The dry, well-presented course was a welcome change for players, who appreciated not having to clean their golf balls after every shot, as had been necessary in recent months.

A field of twenty-four pairs, representing ten clubs, competed across 2BBB Stableford, gross, and a medal round. The day concluded with the trophies being presented by Aorangi Golf Life Member Lois Beattie.
