Wellington Men's Vets @ KGC

33 veterans tackled the Karori Golf Course on Monday, down from the original 45 due to carts not being allowed. They enjoyed calm, albeit cool, weather, followed by a hearty lunch back in the Clubhouse provided by Denise Marten and Karen Simcox. Despite underlying wetness in many areas of the course, the softness of the freshly mowed greens meant that there were good opportunities to score well for those who could target the pins. This was evidenced by the winner of Div 1, Rob Ashby from Mornington, playing off a 16, scoring 43 stableford points, followed by Karori's Alex Lim on 39. Two players with 36 points were 3rd and 4^th while the 5^th place getter had 35.

Div 2 was won by Karori's Mike Cox on 33 points, with 3 other players from Karori - Jono Wake, Martin Leung, and Bob Cavana also in the top 5. In addition, Mike Cox won NTP on the 4th.

WDVGA events are played usually every second Monday on a course in the greater Wgtn district and are open to any male club member aged 50 or more. The next event will be an age group tournament at Otaki on Monday July 21st July. Any KGC member wishing to join the WDVGA to play in their events should contact Jono Wake on 027-453-8227. (Cheers Jono)

9H Women

On Tuesday, a small but hardy group of ladies played the back 9 in lovely sunny conditions. We had a putting competition and this was won by Lindsey Pickering with 14 putts.  (Cheers Lindsey)

Wednesday Club

We got some good weather, but conditions were testing. No carts allowed so a turnout of 16 was pretty good; and very well done to the two regular cart users who walked the course. One of those, Christopher Pearce was a runaway winner with 41 points ahead of the other regular cart user Derek Fitzgibbon on 36 points. Vinh Phan was nearest the pin on the 4^th (again), and there were a couple of twos: Derek on the 2^nd and Christopher on the 6^th. Matthew Everett won the raffle with Christopher second. (Cheers Patrick)

Rigarlsford Trophies - Sat 26 July

On Saturday 26 July we'll again host the Ken & Rose Rigarlsford Event. It's all about encouraging men and women members to meet and play together in a fun day, mixed draw competition. Men best stableford wins the "Ken" trophy and the women the "Rose" trophy. Any donations of non-perishable items for raffles would be greatly appreciated - there's a drop off box in the Clubhouse.

Interested in becoming our new Treasurer?

We are still looking for a Treasurer to replace Terry McAlister. I encourage anyone with Xero skills, financial skills and/or accountancy experience who would like to assist the committee in this key role, kindly contact me at: president@karorigolf.co.nz. (Mark Peck)

Interested Course Marshalling?

How much better would our Club be if we had a team monitoring pace of play and general golf ettiquette on busy days? While Clubhouse staff do their best to ensure green fees are paid, everyone has a set of clubs, groups go off in fours, and golfers maintain an acceptable pace of play - it's difficult. Our Club, your Club, needs a group of volunteers to do starting and marshalling (particularly on weekends). Please let Club Captain Kevin Norquay know if you can help - even if it's just a shift or two before/after a round.  He can be contacted at clubcaptain@karorigolf.co.nz
