The NZ National teams event was held at the Timaru Golf Course earlier this month in excellent conditions.

There were 10 Aorangi clubs competing for title in a four-ball-best-ball format.

Rakaia was the winner on the day, but three teams were very close in the closing holes.

Rakaia’s winning score was 123, closely followed by Temuka on 125 and Tinwald on 127.

All regional winning scores are forwarded on to Golf NZ, and Aorangi's score of 123 should be very competitive.

Results:

1st: Rakaia: 123 (Sally Smith and Sue Martin net 65 and Freda Bierema and Bev Sutherland net 58).

2nd: Temuka: 125 (Willi Powell and Heather Tarrant net 64 and Sue McNichol and Sharon Patrick net 61).

3rd: Tinwald: 127 (Natalie Reed and Sue Newman net 64 and Phyllis Smith and Joan Undy net 63).

Closest to the Pin:

0-26: Wanda Campbell.

27-44: Sue Martin.

Twos : Sharon Patrick and Vicki Moore. — Aorangi ladies match committee convenor Lynn Stratford.
