WAGA November up-date
With just over 4 weeks until Xmas, this year does seem to have flown by. The events for 2009 were down in number but it would appear still appreciated. The photos have proved a great success given the number of hits on them
2010 close-out dates
Buenos Aires - 28th January - spots still avbl
Honolulu - 12th January - spots still avbl
Scottsdale - 16th February - spots still avbl
Gold Coast - 18th May - spots still avbl
Danang, Vietnam - 19th July - spots still avbl
Four of the five events for 2010 are using USD as the basic form of currency. This should be good for Americans but is very good for folk in those countries that find their currency strengthening. Australia is in that category and pundits feel that the AUD will be on par in 2010 with the USD. With cheaper airfares, strengthening currencies, this is a good time to plan your WAGA golfing holiday.
Happy golfing, Brian Lassen: WAGA

Scores Queenstown - day 1& 2 & 3
Like Palm Springs, WAGA had clear skies and superb weather. The only difference was the temperature, day 1 Palm Springs was 44C, here today it was 14C.
The course and surroundings left the players in awe! So much so that only one player broke handicap; Raphael Tetuanui from Tahiti had 38. The best ladies score was Dilini Saverimuttu with 33.
Nearest to the pins on the 7th for men went to Chris Morton whilst on the 11th for ladies, it was Dilini Saverimuttu.
Wednesday - how conditions can change! Overnight rain, warmer temperatures and stronger winds affected play. Best score was from Tony Verzantvoort with 37 and Tricia Higgins had 35. NTP hole 17 went to Rob Meek and Grace Wilson scored on the 10th at Queenstown Golf Club.
Darren McIntosh won the WAGA Melbourne Cup sweep.
Thursday - fine and sunny and what a day. Edith de Groot from Brisbane had a hole in one on the 13th which was the NTP for ladies. Needless to say, drinks were had! Best score today for the ladies was Tricia Higgins who had 40 and in the male division, Terry Shute had 38. Nearest to the pin for men was Chris Morton.
Overall winner for men was Terry Shute with 106 followed by Raphael Tetuanui with 103. All male placegetters scored 100 or better. In the ladies, Dilini Saverimuttu had 100 with Tricia Higgins scoring 97.
