Women Scrub Fairway
Members of the Kaitaia Ladies’ Golf Club made history on their club day last week.
After playing nine holes they downed clubs, donned gardening gloves and pulled tea-tree from the seventh fairway. The scrub growth had become out of hand during the period male members’ attention had been focussed through the medium of working bees, on the development of the new 18hole course.
As the tea-tree was interfering with the fair golfers’ game, they decided to remove it.
Last Saturday the men were impressed with the piles of scrub, torn out by the roots, which the ladies had left as evidence of their work.
