SWINGING INTO ACTION

On a beautiful early-May day, 75 players took to the greens of the Remuera Golf Course for the Bryan Bartley Golf Day. For the second year, the event was enjoyed by both men and women (with a strong contingent of Dio Old Girls) – a popular move that’s seen player numbers steadily increase.

During their round, players enjoyed water, fruit, sandwiches and Dio Brownie, served from the golf cart by Angus from Rawhiti Estate. And if they hadn’t eaten enough out on the course, a light platter-style lunch was served at the end of the day.

Among the fun post-game activities was the Gold Golf Ball lucky dip, with those drawing balls numbered 1 to 9 receiving prizes. It was lovely to have Bryan Bartley there to award her trophy. The Bryan Bartley Cup for Women’s (Old Girl) Best Stableford Points went to Jenny Johnson. This year, the Old Girls’ League provided a new prize, the Teams Trophy, which Heather McRae presented to the Brett Meyer team (comprised of Brett Meyer, Rob Harris, Barry Walker and Craig McGarr). The Eady Cup for Men’s Best Stableford Points was awarded to Guy Eady.

Sisters-in-law Melanie Eady (Perkins) and Kirsty Eady (McDonald) once again expertly organised the event, and would like to acknowledge the generosity of the many individuals and businesses that regularly support the Bryan Bartley Golf Day. Hobson Wealth Management kindly gifted each player a fabulous lined hessian bag, which was filled with goodies. Farro Fresh, New World Botany and New World Milford donated hampers for the raffles, which raised a total of $1276. These funds will be put towards Old Girls’ League bursaries.

Other raffle prizes included: vouchers from Hip Group, Pullman, the Eatery at Eastridge and Farro Fresh; umbrellas from Kensington Swan; a case of Aix Rosé from Euro Vintage; and golf balls from the Golf Warehouse. Old Girls Kathy Bartley and Penny Tucker also generously donated wine, pink gin, whiskey and Cognac.

A huge thank you to the event’s sponsors Rawhiti Estate and Hobson Wealth Management.
