Martinborough Golf Club has a national champion amongst our members! Congratulations to Leonie Wilde who is the winner of the Sue Bunt Salver, NZ Golf’s 9-Hole Women Home Links Competition. This is a Nett competition, whereby the best two of three Nett scores from nominated days are added together and compared to other scores from across the country – approximately 1300 members from over 100 clubs participated in the competition. Leonie’s combined Nett score submitted for the two rounds was 59, a whooping 13.6 below her handicap, and good enough to beat hundreds of other entrants. Leonie will be presented with the national trophy by the Wellington District Association, which she will hold for the year, and prizes from the event sponsor Srixon. We’ll let you know what goodies she receives. Well done Leonie! … Continue Reading
