A Day of Great Golf & Even Better Stories 

Another classic Tuesday on the course – a mix of brilliant golf, “learning opportunities”, and at least a few balls that are now permanent residents of Queenstown’s finest rough.

Let’s get into it…

18-Hole Stableford – The Big Guns

1st Suzanne Vidak – 35 points

Cool, calm, and clearly in control – Suzanne takes top honours and the bragging rights this week. A tidy round and $30 to boot!

2nd Ngaire Hayes – 32 points

A strong round from Ngaire, proving once again that handicap is just a number (especially when you beat half the field).

3rd Margaret Carlsson – 32 points

Matching Ngaire on points and keeping things very competitive – great consistency out there.

Shoutouts from the Field

• Marie Wilkinson – 30 points and also snagged Nearest the Pin – not a bad day at the office! 
• Judy Sim – also on 30 points, proving the low markers still mean business.

And to everyone else – whether you shot lights out or just enjoyed the scenery between shots – well done for getting round. Some of those holes were playing tricks today… and no, we’re not blaming the wind (entirely). 

Special Mentions

• David Grant – cleaned up like he owned the place: Net Eagles, Longest Putt, and Nearest the Pin. Save some for the rest of us, mate!
• Kris Brewin – Birdies Draw winner – sometimes it’s not how, it’s just that it happens!

9-Hole Stableford – Short Course, Big Effort

Proof that 9 holes can still deliver plenty of drama (and a few “how did that happen?” moments).

1st Helen Thomas – 17 points

A great round to take the win – steady as she goes and walking away with the top prize.

2nd Gilda St George – 16 points

Right on Helen’s heels – a very tidy effort and keeping things interesting to the end.

3rd Tricia Lund-Jackson – 16 points

Matching second place on points – a great showing and right in the mix.

Special Mention

• Jackie Phillips – Longest Putt winner – clearly had the radar dialled in!

Final Word

Whether you were chasing birdies, dodging bunkers, or just happy to make contact most of the time – it’s all part of the fun.

Golf: the only game where you can have a shocker, laugh about it, and still be first in line for the next round.

See you all next week – same time, same place… and hopefully fewer visits to the trees.
