Grannies Golf at Greenacres

The annual Grandmothers' tournament at the Greenacres' golf course is like good wine: It improves with age. This fixture on the local programme always attracts a large number of entries, and the grannies have a ball. No one seems to worry who wins but, at the end of the day, there is a swag of handsome prizes to be collected.

Looking pleased with their scores are Jean Luke and Daphne Barclay (Nelson), and Robie McCarthy (Greenacres)

Concentration plus: Betty Moore (Nelson) sinks a putt

"C'mon!" Beryl Penman (Murchison) watches the result of her chip shot

Relaxing after their round are Zena White (Nelson), PhyI Stretch (Rarangi) and Dorothy Bishop (Greenacres)

Among the competitors were Ngaire Galloway (Nelson), Jean Hildyard (Totaradale) and Josie Small (Greenacres)

Putting some oomph into her tee shot is Dorothy Archibald (Greenacres)

Mary Wood (Motueka) displays style as she follows through a tee shot

May Rowling (Motueka), the defending champion, and Elizabeth Simpson (Nelson), weren't too happy about their form, early in the round

Daisy Johnson (Nelson) watches anxiously as Connie Fitzpatrick (Greenacres) delicately sinks a putt

The oldest competitor, Lena Miller (second from right) was accompanied by a caddy, Heather Gully (Greenacres), right. Lena's from the Nelson club and we know how old she is, too. But we ain't telling. With the party are Gladys Burnett (Totaradale) and June Russell (Greenacres)

Wham! Joy Dutton (Nelson) belts one down the fairway

Myra Blornfield (Greenacres) follows a putt down the green
