Golf

Tour 16s took part in the Gisborne Park Golf Club ladies 2 day Open Championship. Sponsored by Harvest Wines and held on a couple of Poverty Bay's chilliest days, the tournament attracted players from Te Puia to Mahia. Winner of the J.W. Eade Cup for the Open Champion was Jean Morley of Gisborne Park (below), who played her sister Agnes Gray ( Poverty Bay - below right) in the final.

Cini Hapi (Left), Ladies Club Captain at Gisborne Park who hosted the championship and Terry Allan, Poverty Bay Ladies Club Captain. Theirs is a big job, with plenty of responsibility, requiring cool, clear- thinking people who can make good decisions. It is great for women golfers in this area to know two such capable and experienced people are in charge.

Ready to tee off for the last round are (L to R) Phyl Gibson, Daph Hindmarsh, Thelma Brodie and umpires Judy Cornwell, Margaret Bothamley and Mary Henderson.

What a time to hole-in-one! Tolaga Bay golfer Judy Ruru played the perfect shot on the 2nd but was so busy picking up her tee, she did not see the ball go in. Never mind Judy, there were plenty there to tell you all about it. Congratulations
