Hole in One Congratulations:
Congratulations to Jo Trusler for yet another “Hole in One”. Jo scored this on the Par 3 No. 1 hole on Sunday 12 February, playing in very wet conditions. This is Jo’s fourth “Hole in One”, three of them being on our Morrinsville course. Jo is truly amazing, we are very fortunate to have her playing in our club. When chatting to Jo about her latest achievement she said: “It just happened!”
