Winners to be presented with the Helen Wilson Jug.

Additional Notes RE: Helen Wilson Jug...

We have established that the Jug was donated by a 'W Goodger' (engraved on the jug), and named in honour of Helen Wilson in 1958. Helen Wilson was instrumental in obtaining recognition of District Associations work within the New Zealand Ladies Golf Union (later Women's Golf NZ). We used to play for it in conjunction with our Home Links events. We each paid a $3 entry with funds going to the Waikato King Country Ladies Golf Association. The best nett winners card from each Club was forwarded to the Association. The overall winner was announced and presented with the Jug at the Champions of Champions. It was a very popular competition which could be won by any member of any club.

An interesting part of the presentation was to get the winner to be present at the Champion of Champions without letting them know they had won the HWJ. It was always kept as a surprise. Sometimes they were 'encouraged' to caddy.

In 2006 it became a foursomes competition and later was changed to its current 2BBB.

What a beauty day to have our 2023 Association Day Event. The sunshine came out and warmed the day up for our 80 participants representing 20 of our Waikato Disctrict clubs. This year, Hamilton Golf Club was our host venue of which the course and facilities are suited perfectly for this annual event. Our ladies provided plenty of good golf with 30 teams entering scores between 60-69 Nett. Outstanding!

Congratulations to this years winning team, a combination from Tahuna and Morrinsville Golf Club, Anita Wilson & Sheryll Gordon! Their NETT score of 60 was enough to win the Helen Wilson Jug trophy and have first pick of the prize table. Well done to you ladies.

There are many to thank for their help in making this day so special. We'd like to start with Hamilton Golf Clubs General Manager, Travis Gawler, for agreeing to host and his staff Linda, in the front office, Liam on the bar & Sarah in the Proshop for keeping us on track. Massive thanks to Barb Corkrill, the Hamilton Women's Club Captain, and her many volunteers for coordinating the days activities and providing a beautiful home baked morning tea! Just a lovely way to start the day. We'd also like to thank MatteBlack Cafe for providing a delicious lunch box for the ladies after play.

Thanks again to everyone that helped put this event together and those that participated! We hope to see you all back again for the 2024 Association Day!
