What an incredible day we had at Shona’s Tui Tournament 💚

The turnout was amazing, the weather turned it on, and the atmosphere was something really special. It meant so much to come together as a club, alongside Shona and Gordon’s family, to celebrate not only the day but the memories and connections that bring us all together.

While we celebrated the winners on the green, today was also about recognising someone who gives so much behind the scenes. Gordon is always there — setting up, chalking the green, stepping in wherever needed, and supporting so many within our club. His dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed.

With members and his family present, it felt only right thatGordon Annandd
was honoured with Life Membership of the club — a truly well-deserved recognition for everything he has given.

A beautiful day filled with community, appreciation, and heart. 💛
