Last Friday the Ladies hosted Royal Wellington Ladies to compete for the Lady Stout. The day started with morning tea before golf which was followed by lunch. The format of the competition was Stableford. It has been a few years since we won the trophy but on Friday Royal Wellington had to leave it behind as the average score for Martinborough was 31.785 and Royal Wellington 29.666. Congratulations to all who played.
On Sunday the Royal Wellington men came over to compete for the Bidwill/Leckie Cup and enjoyed a light lunch before golf followed by dinner. The format of the day was singles, 4BBB and an 8 ball with the final result Martinborough 33 Royal Wellington 15. That’s what I call a convincing win!!
