1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: And also thinking of the team over at the Edshburton

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Golf Club as they standing by the host. Another big

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: happening Patty Bradford as one of them.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: Morning morning, Look.

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: This is the National Ladies inter Provincial tell us about this.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: It's the best players, best five players from each province

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: of the country are coming down to little old Ashburton

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: and have a game and see your wins.

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: All fourteen districts as I understand, from the top of

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: the North to the very bottom of the South. And

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: the tournament where we discovered, for instance, a very young

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: Dame Lydia Co.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: Yes, many many moments ago. We've only got twelve provinces

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: this year. Southland haven't come up. Southland are in a

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: bit of a monetary dilemma so they've not come up.

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: But yes, there's lots of young girls playing like young

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: Dame Lydia was. We taught that the North Harbor team

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: are all under fifteen and they are all for plus handicap,

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: so there's some real good golfers knocking about.

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: Geez, how many are we talking about? What sort of numbers?

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: There's five in each team and a reserve in each team,

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: and then managers and parents a lot of parents coming

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: down to watch, so we've got about one hundred and

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: fifty people coming down to town.

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: We played to some pretty big gatherings. Would this be

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: up there with one of the biggest e beats you've hosted.

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: It's certainly up there. It's took some organizing and we've

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: got a wonderful group of volunteers who've done it, and

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: it's a big tournament we have this. This is the

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: third time we've held this were held the first time

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty nine and we held it again ten

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: years ago, so we've had a few goals at it.

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: So we've been getting fairly good at it.

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: I believe wonderful to every everybody. Bag. So here's the

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: week play out.

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: So it's today is practice there and then there'll be

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: an opening ceremony at five o'clock. Then this tee off

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning seven point thirty and they've played two rounds

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: a day. Match player get to a final on Friday afternoon.

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: A lot of golf any course records to be at three.

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: Pity, I don't think they look because they don't play

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: the full course. If they win with five holes to go,

43
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: they're coming. So it's not and they can be puts

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: given and these sort of things. So there won't be

45
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: a course record, won't be in danger, but there'll be

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: some good scars, there'll be some very good shoes, and

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: there'll be lots of birdies.

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: There's been a challenge keeping the course green. It's pretty dryer,

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: do you.

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: Yes, we've just got a new greenkeeper come on maybe

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: six weeks ago. So he's coming with a baptism of

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: fire sort of thing, but has jumped into it and

53
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: we've got we've got plenty of water. We've watered it

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: and we've watered it and the course is looking immaculate.

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: It's done really well.

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: So it sounds like speactators more than welcome the course

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: itself for the regular members and players. The sins we

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: closed for the week.

59
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: It is close to the week. We've closed until the

60
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: course and the driving range everything's closed until Saturday morning again.

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: But yes, come down to watch. We've got a coffee cart,

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: we've got the cafes open, we've got the bar open,

63
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: and there's plenty of golf going on and it's an

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: easy course to walk, lots of good viewing points. It

65
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: will be a great week
