Hi just sending you all a big thank you for having us all from Otumoetai Golf Club.  We got back safely, all very tired some said it was the hills!!!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your hospitality, the course and the food.
Someday you might like to come visit us ,we would love to have you, but it would have to be early in the season or later November as our course
is very wet underfoot and we would not want you playing in those conditions, it seams to have rained and rained this year and not given the course  a chance to dry out.
However thank you again 
Kind regards             Joan  Kennedy  ladies club captain
