We are the Champions!!
Well, of Division 2 InterClub anyway.
The Mornington Golf Club Division 2 InterClub team finished top of their division with 106.5 points, some 28.5 points clear of second place Boulcotts Farm Heritage Golf Club team. Other teams in the Division included Karori, Mahunga, Paraparaumu and Royal Wellington.
Over the 10 games played by the team (5 at home and 5 away), the team averaged 10.65 points per game out of a possible 15 points. They won all their home games and their results away were 2 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss. The only loss was in the first round, a narrow 7-8 away at Karori. The team also had the highest total points for the season of any of the teams playing in the Wellington Golf InterClub competition. Congratulations.
Our Division 6 team managed a creditable 4th place out of 6 teams when after 7 rounds it looked like this team would be demoted. They won 34 of their 67.5 points in the last three rounds. Well done.

Unfortunately our Division 10 team finished last of the 6 teams in their Division. However it must be remembered that the team regularly had players called into the higher Division teams. They played well for the season.

Taoist Tai Chi
Mary Brownlow of our Taoist Tai Chi section thinks golfers could cut three stokes off their handicap if they practice Tai Chi!! By improved balance, posture, joint flexibility, and coordination, Tai Chi will certainly lead to a better game! The turning of the spine will help the swing, no?
Members can call Mary Brownlow on 021872303 for more information.
