Kylie Jacoby has repeated her 2016 efforts by retaining the Elaine Bledisloe Cup.
Waitangi Golf Club was the host for the 65th annual Elaine Bledisloe 72-Hole Ladies Matchplay Tournament at a later date than usual.
Normally held on the last weekend of July, the date was moved to September in the hopes of seeing more daylight and a drier golf course.
They were only half right because although the light stayed longer; the course was soaked and heavy underfoot. Luckily only a couple of passing showers breezed through during the two-day tournament.
The top division was this year made up of eight players with handicaps ranging from 0-8.3, with golfers playing an 18-hole strokeplay on the first morning before seeded matchplay was slated for the rest of the competition.
