What a small world we live in !
Read about Claire Hunter and partner winning the New Zealand mixed foursomes at Wanaka Golf Club, where Peter Smith was ex pro, and where I am a Country member, then just received the report, that Claire and partner beat twp of my best friends in the final, geoff@ maree saunders, who live beside Sir Bob Charles at Clearwater resort in Christchurch !
It was the Saunders who came with Sir Bob and myself on the Machrahanish visit three years back !
It is indeed a small world !
