Report from your tournament convenor & results from the 2019 Nationals         Motueka Golf Club

It was great to walk into the Motueka Club House and see all the lefties enjoying themselves at another National Tournament, the atmosphere was buzzing with talk of how good the course was. It was a real credit to the whole club and in particular Nick Van Leeuwen and his Green Keeping team. The course was set up so it was fair for everybody and yet nobody managed to rip it apart, proving once again what a good test of golf the course is.The greens were running at about 11 seconds and as true as I have ever putted on. A regular attender of our Nationals over the years was heard to say it was one of the best Nationals he had been too, which is all you want to achieve as a tournament organizer. Congratulations to the winners across the divisions, and in particular to Marty Price, David Fraser, Lisa Herbert the Gross winners in their respective divisions. To all those who attended the tournament thank you for your company at Motueka it was wonderful to see so many from all round NZ & Australia. A special thanks to the players comes from the Motueka Golf Club for the way you respected the course and left it as you found it well done.
Many thanks
Kerry Smith
Tournament Convener
