Women's golf—18 holes

Players were careful to abide by the rules laid down for Covid Level 2 on Saturday September 11, and strong winds did not make playing conditions particularly pleasant for the 13 players in the ladies' field, or the men following them. There was a raft of competitions to be played that had accumulated while in Covid Level 4 lockdown— BOP Stableford 5, Lowrie Cup Par, Niel's Birthday and Wilson Salver, and a stableford haggle. Results: Jill Morrison 36 points; Susan Mustard 34; Michelle Libby, Carol Leary, Kathy Ashton 33; Sharon Deacon 31. Twos: Susan Mustard on 15. Katikati Dreamers Beauty Clinic Player of the Week: Susan Mustard.

n There was no play on Wednesday September 15 due to very wet weather, which means that the list of competitions that need to be played will be even longer next week.
