Our Annual Richardsons Real Estate, Matarangi - Women’s 18 hole open Tournament was on Friday, 23rd of May where we had 96 ladies from across the country compete. It was a fantastic day, a great success with an outstanding gross score of 81 won by one of our very own Dunes members – Jo Dartnall.
A huge thank you to our greenkeeping team for presenting the course in such immaculate condition – we had lots of compliments from the players how stunning it looked.
We’re also incredibly grateful to all our Dunes staff, committee members, and volunteers who worked hard on the course and in the clubhouse to make the day run smoothly.
This event continues to grow in popularity and we would like to say a big thank you to our generous sponsors for helping us create such an amazing prize table — this tournament wouldn't be possible without your support!
