June Series #2 @ Wainui ⛳️
We had a fantastic afternoon at Wainui! With Club Champs in full swing 🏆the course was buzzing, but we were able to slot into the Front 9 during the afternoon. A huge thank you to the members who were so welcoming and happy to work us in.
The clubrooms were full of energy afterwards, and the scores were incredibly close. Every team got their cards sorted, and the alternate holes format made for some great competition and plenty of fun.
A special shout-out to JulieAnne, who took out Closest to the Pin on the 2nd 🎯. An amazing achievement, especially as she's brand new to golf this season — go JulieAnne!
Looking forward to doing it all again at Morgan's next week.

June Series Tournament #1 - what a start.
⛳️Four divisions, stablefords, mixed and new player Speedy Ambrose teams, and our crazy inventive Alternate Holes format.
Closest to the pin, a quiz, fun prizes… and a collective phew when the gas bottle decided to throw a tantrum. Luckily the kitchen grill came to the rescue.
What’s even better? 90% of our players are signed up for all four tournaments. The Sunday afternoon golf bug is well and truly alive.
And today’s field was special: 63% of teams were only two months out of our 8 week training programme, and they’re competing across every division.! Ka pai .💪
In the Alternate Holes format, all but one player came straight from the Summer–Autumn 2026 programmes. I’ve given myself a scoring challenge with that division,🤓 but they’ll have it sussed by Wainui next week.
Bring on next Sunday — more fun, more challenge, more great golf.⛳️

Thanks, Congratulations… and What’s Ahead! ⛳️
Thank you to all the wonderful 2025 crews who embraced the MG Programmes across summer, autumn and spring.💥 Your enthusiasm, commitment and joy for the game have played a huge part in growing women’s golf across our region.

And… a little personal celebration. I’m honoured to be named a finalist at the 2025 National Golf Awards for "Contribution to the Growth of Women’s Golf ". A special thank you to Steve at Mornington for putting forward the nomination, and to Dennis and Gareth for their outstanding endorsements. I’m also thinking fondly of those eight big years at Paraparaumu Beach- the early days of growing junior girls’ golf. A very special chapter- Thanks coaches for your dedication.

What’s ahead ? Our June Tournament Series is FULLY BOOKED! Four divisions, fun formats, and a great mix of our newest players from 2025/2026 and a lovely group of our treasured “originals”

See you all soon Mary 😊
