Hi Kim, Denise and Benn, a very special THANK YOU!! To you all for a super event last week , we all thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it , you ran the whole event like clockwork, you picked the right week as far as weather goes, all the courses where fantastic, we especially loved Cape Kidnappers, wow it was good, you are the talk of the Royal Pupuke Golf Club! As good as all that, it was so good to be travelling again with a purpose. A million thank you's!!

Thanks for another great trip. Really enjoyed being back in Italy and experiencing golf the Italian way! Good group and appreciate your professionalism. All the best for the Ryder Cup tour. 

Thanks again Denise and Cian for an awesome Autumn Foursomes tournament in Whakatane. So well run, such fun, and, as always, a wonderful host club and course. Thanks to everyone involved, I'm already looking forward to playing at my home club, Paraparaumu, in 2019. 

Thank you for a great week in the sunny Hawkes Bay. We had a wonderful time, need another week to recover! Four great courses, food and wine and above all great fun. We had a special day at Kidnappers, conditions were perfect, Even the golf was pretty good. Thanks again to you and your team. 

We have to thank you both for the wonderful trip we had with you. We've had plenty of people ask us about it, and every time, we end up saying that apart from the scenery, the courses and the accommodation, it was made so good, so special and so memorable because of you both and your expertise and attention to detail in your organisation on behalf of your participants. You are so professional in what you do, in reading people and enabling interaction, and making it so easy. You are both very generous, very inclusive and yet not intrusive. You are masters of your business. It was the first time Jeff and I have ever been on a group tour of any kind, and we really really enjoyed it, thank you. You may not have seen the last of us!

Thank you, Denise and your team for a most enjoyable Tournament at Waihi.  As usual, your organisation was exceptional, it was a challenging course which was great and I really enjoyed playing it. The course was presented so well and the members and everyone at the Waihi golf club did an exceptional job, which was appreciated by us all. I enjoyed catching up with the Te Anau group.  Look forward to seeing you in Harewood.

Congratulations to you and your team Denise, in Waihi it was such an enjoyable and professionally run tournament.....us Aussies were blown away by the NZ and Waihi hospitality. Well done. 

A note to say a huge thank you for a great tour to Vietnam & Cambodia which more than lived up to expectations. The group was great and all jelled together and the mixture of golf with cultural activities was superb.... so a big thank you for all your hard work.

Wow, Kim & Denise, another amazing trip, very smooth and easy for us due to your tour professionalism and attention to details and your social skills in holding a group together. We loved the whole thing, especially the golf courses you selected and Jack is delighted to have been announced as the winner. It was great for us to have Suzi and David with us...We found travelling with the group easy peasy.

Hi Denise and Kim, thank you for the lovely prizes from the Fiji tournament. Thank you again for another enjoyable and eventful week. We had loads of laughs and fun-meeting up with new faces and catching up with old ones.The Gleniti girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Roll on 2017!

What a wonderful week of golf and entertainment! To Denise & Kim, we just wanted to say thank you, and how we both enjoyed your well run tournament, and functions! You both made your tournament a pleasure and fun. Congratulations and well done! We are still talking about it!

A short note to compliment you and Kim on our fantastic holiday in Fiji all our girls had the BESTEST holiday...met lots of new friends...each nite was a pleasure to attend ...all planned so well...we look forward to hopefully being able to attend in 2017.... You both should be very proud of your efforts.....

Have just returned from the Millbrook Masters 2016, I can not fault the tour. Everything ran so smoothly, as a player all I did was turn up locate my cart and go and play. The resort was fantastic, staff friendly and helpful. Location and scenery were absolutely fantastic. Denise and Kim run a smooth operation very helpful, approachable and always smiling. Excellent value for money. Thanks again and I am sure we will see you soon.

Loved Vietnam. Thanks for the most awesome trip we have ever done.  Once again professionalism, organisation skills and humour come through to make it an absolute pleasure to go on tour with PaR nz.  Thanks again we will be back for more.

We would like to congratulate PaR nz on the NZ Mixed Foursomes held in Wanaka at Labour Weekend. It was very well run and we enjoyed every minute of it. The prizes were excellent. You did an awesome job of everything. Once again many thanks.

Dear Denise & Kim

You have been amazing on our Canadian Rockies Golf Tour which has exceeded our expectations. We thank you for all your attention to detail, fun personalities and especially a great holiday we'll all remember forever. Much love from the Adelaide crew. 

"We will be back! All aspects of the Canada trip exceeded our expectations - thank you both we had such a wonderful time. Will have memories for a lifetime".

Hi Denise & Kim, just a short note to say thank you for another fantastic golf trip. We thoroughly enjoyed Florida and the group were a great bunch. You both make these trips easy with plenty of laughs and interesting things to see and do. With all the travelling we do your golf trips would have to be the best and the only trips to go on. Thanks once again.

To Denise & Kim, a big thank you to you both. We really enjoyed the Vietnam & Cambodia Tour, you arrange it so well with a good mix of golf & sights & delicious food. A fun group to be with, & your photos are great Kim, hope we can stay fit & well so can join another tour!!

Thank you for a great day, absolutely amazing. Your organization was superb and everything went like clockwork. I am absolutely knackered today but what a nice feeling knowing I contributed to a great cause. I look forward to next year.

Congrats on the organization of a great day, you obviously have it down to a fine art now as the day flows like a military operation.

On behalf of North Shore Hospice I would like to thank you, one again, for your generous support. We are truly grateful to have the benefit of your professionalism and expertise.

I would like to personally thank PaR nz for a most fantastic golfing experience. The climax for me was an out of this world experience at Wairakei Golf Course and the Millennium Hotel. The organization was exceptional.

Many thanks...thrilled to be part of the day, but much more exciting for me was to be part of a really successful fundraiser, in getting just on $126k for an extremely worthwhile charity (Leukaemia & Blood Foundation)....Also I would like to thank you for a very well organised day - a lot of little extras for the players, so thanks for that - really neat to be part of.

Thanks Kim for a really great time. As "first-timers" it was a real thrill to be part of all the action - well organised, a great format, fabulous dinner. Altogether ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, DARLING. We will be back.

That without a doubt would have to be the BEST tournament I have ever played in!!!! It was so well done from start to finish – your amazing happy dispositions and just always there to encourage everyone to have fun and play well!!

Thanks for the great tournament, our ladies had such a great time, being our first it was a bit daunting at the start, but now we have been and done it I can assure you we will be back. We would like to acknowledge the hard work you have put in to make it the fun tournament it was.

I’m still grinning at the memory of a truly wonderful weekend – green grass, blue skies, good friends, perfect days – my criteria for perfection was met over this weekend – it provided for each of these.

A big thank you for organizing such a terrific tournament at Denarau Golf Club. You will most definitely see us again next year.

Thank you so much for a fantastic weekend of fun and great food. Your organization was superb. If you are ever looking for invitees for future tournament, spare us a thought. Congratulations on a job done magnificently.

Thank you for an absolutely wonderful Canadian golf tour. We can’t speak highly enough about it. All the golf courses were just so good, the accommodation excellent and the tour sell thought out and balanced. Congratulations for such a wonderful holiday and golf experience.

We want to let you know how much we enjoyed the Millbrook experience. You ran a fun, well organized and most enjoyable tournament. The ability to remember everyone’s names and to make sure that at some stage you mention everyone, lovely gift packs, and the little treat each day in the cart and the way everything appears to happen with a minimum of fuss is a credit to you.

This was our first time and was very impressed with the very professional organization. Congratulations and thank you for your friendliness. 

I am delighted to have been a Foundation Member of the Mainland Masters tournament. I wish to congratulate you on an extremely well organized fun tournament. You left no stone unturned and all who took part can only have been impressed with your professionalism.

“As mentioned at the airport you (Denise) and Kim are a good combination. That would have to be one of the best hosted trips I have ever been on. And I have been on a few. You listen to the different personalities and react accordingly. You both have a special aptitude for bringing people together. Keep the good work up.”

Destined to be filed away under ‘My Happiest Trips’ and brought out when I need reminding how lucky I was to have (sight unseen) two of the best tour guides alive! What a great job you both did – I’d go anywhere with you – in fact, I really want to do it all again next year! Everything was perfect, the accommodation, the splendid, most difficult golf courses I have ever seen, the lunches, dinners and, of course, and the great camaraderie. Excellent. What a trip. Congratulations

On behalf of the Waipu Girls a big thank you for a really great week. We felt very spoilt and your organization was amazing. We will be going back to our club with grins a mile wide and telling everyone if they have a change to go on a PaR nz golfing holiday to ‘go for it’!

Thank you for your running and managing of a wonderfully enjoyable golf tournament. Absolutely perfect venue, good people to play with and a course in wonderful condition. Millbrook and Arrowtown in the full flush of autumn must be one of the world’s most spectacular places – the colours have to be seen to be believed. Thanks again.

Hi folks thanks for letter,I would suspect that your bookings have gone wild with everyone trying to escape the weather.As I previously said I thoroughly enjoyed the trip it was well organized and had that essential element of fun competition and commaraderie (as well as a couple of fine red wines). Subject to the approval of “her indoors” I will certainly look at future exercusions.Thanks again.

Fred and myself would like to thank you once again for the fantastic job you did running the Mid Amateur over the June weekend. We will be coming back next year, hoping to encourage more players to attend and looking forward in meeting up with you and many new friends at the next tournament.

Canada was another fantastic tour! Thank you so much. We always have a lot of fun with you both.

Thanks again for a wonderful tour. You both do a magnificent job of organizing and hosting and we all enjoyed the chance to play on such famous Scottish courses and experience the magic of the British Open! We had a great group of people and all in all it was a fantastic trip. Thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and making it into the prizes was rather a shock – and certainly a bonus. Cris and I have been so enthusiastic about what fun it was, that I fear you’ll be inundated by RWGC girls next year. You and Denise deserve great credit – how you managed for four and a half days to stay relaxed, friendly and in good humour with a tournament and 88 women to organise is quite beyond me. What an amazing feat. I was impressed. Thanks for a great tournament.

Hi Denise and Kim, thank you so much for all your hard work again this year - you both are legends and run such a good tournament, it was really great meeting you this year Kim and hopefully we will see you both again next year. Behind the scenes of course the work continues so thank you Shari for your input. We loved meeting up again with all last year's competitors and the new ones this year - lots of good friends have been made. We are back home again to rain, rain, rain. Thank you so much from the Platts and the Mortens and good luck for the rest of your tournaments.

Just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you and Denise for everything you have done. I had a wonderful time made even better by the people of Kerikeri and Bay of Islands Golf Club, and of course you and Denise and PaR nz. While I think it will be a long shot for next year, I would love to come back and play this event again, even bring a few more people with me. Once again than you for everything and I hope to see you ll again in the future.

Dear Denise & Kim, delighted to receive photos...they are a wonderful record of a truly memorable trip so much fun everyday. You girls are fantastic and we all agreed no one could do it better. we have spread the word already. ....A huge thank you from us both and we hope to see you again on another tour.

Bula Kim and Denise, Seems we have made the local papers in Fiji. Thank you for making the arrangements to allow Kris and I to enter the competition at such late notice, and for arranging for Bridget and Edwina to play with us. We now have two really good friends to keep in touch with and perhaps play with again next year. We are seriously considering returning next year to defend our title and hopefully with a bit more local support from our club. Everyone we spoke to were thrilled with the way the event was run and all credit to you and Denise. You are both getting a reputation for running good fun professional events that are worth entering.

Just wanted to pass on my thanks for such a great event that was held over the weekend. Having only played for just over a year it is hard to find playing partners. So I thank you for taking the time and effort in being able to supply a partner. It was even better we were able to win three out of our four games and win the div 2 plate. Its not about winning its about a very well run event. Both you and Kim always had a smile and more than happy to help. I will be more than happy to play in future events and will pass on to others I play with how well this event was run. Many thanks.

Thank you Kim & Denise. It was a great sponsors night at the MS Ford Showroom and a very good way for us to show off our products and reinforce our dealership. Thanks for your support. Wishing you all the best for the NZ Golf Tournament and look forward to catching up again. 

Hi Denise, Thank you for your welcome message. Jaap did a wonderful job in meeting us immediately upon arrival and getting us situated towards Matakauri with a stop first to replace some lost sunglasses. We love our golf shoe bags, hats and sun products – great welcome presents! Matakauri Lodge is quite a way to start our trip – it scores a perfect 10 in all ways imaginable. Of course it doesn’t hurt that they put us in a deluxe suite with drop dead views from everywhere!! Jack’s Point is a real keeper too. What spectacular scenery, colors in all the grasses, the proverbial sheep all around and the course wasn’t too bad either. We only left a few balls behind.We’re off to wine tasting today, our visit to Milford yesterday and flight back, showed that if all you did was go there when you came to NZ, your visit could be complete. WOW! We hope we get a chance to meet you while we’re here in your gorgeous country. Many thanks for all the help you have given in planning our trip.

We so appreciated your note when we arrived at the Copthorne this evening and are so sorry that we are going to miss meeting you! You and Carla planned such a fabulous trip for us, from the start to the finish. Leaving Kauri Cliffs ( a real 10 of 10 place!) we were dreading the re-entry to urban living and the perfect stop was a round at Gulf Harbour. We had met a lovely couple at Huka who are from Auckland and are members at Gulf Harbour. When we checked into the Pro Shop there, the assistant told us that Ginny Sturm had called ahead and told us to pick out a hat from her as they were still on vacation! What a lovely gesture! When we played at Waireki, we chatted with the four ladies in front of us, one of whom had been an owner and they were such fun, so gracious and welcoming.  We love your country and all those we have met and talked to. All the accomodations were wonderful, the order in which they came, their differences and their distances apart. Having only onelong driving day was great (for my driver!) We hope you have a great golf weekend, wherever you are as we just realized that it is a long weekend in all of New Zealand. Many thanks for confirming our plans in Sydney.

Many thanks for the work you and Denise put in leading up to and over the week at Wanaka - I think it was one of the better tournaments I have been too with you guys running your 'well oiled machine' for the competition side and Wanaka making such a good job of hostessing - never heard a complaint all week. Please be aware the time and effort you both put in is very much appreciated by all 'women' golfers. Thanks heaps.

Having done two tournaments at Millbrook I have been lucky enough to enjoy a great deal of hospitality from you. It is always a great holiday at Millbrook. Thank you very much. I think you have an excellent marketing strategy. The course is great to play but so often produces mediocre golf from contestants like me. So I just have to come back next year to try to improve. Many Thanks.

Dear Denise, Kim, Ellie and Shari, thanks for a very enjoyable Millbrook golf holiday. It was all so well organised, good lodgings, good food and good wine and not the least, very enjoyable golf (even if not always good on my part). Thanks again.

Russell & I would like to express our thanks for such a wonderful trip you organised to Canada. We had so much fun and haven't stopped talking about it since we have been home. I have also told all the golfers we know, if they ever get the chance to go on any PaR nz Tour, we know they will have a great time. You two both made the trip, with your neat sense of humour, and professional organisation. Please let us know when you have dates for your Italy & Spain Tours next year. Many thanks also for the team photo, we loved it.

Thank you to Denise & Kim for running such a great tournament.  We think you did a fantastic job – real personal service! 

Thanks again for an awesomely run tournament. Judi and I really enjoyed it. I have been involved in lots tournaments for golf and netball and been to lots by other clubs as well (we think ours is well run compared with some!) but yours was so well done and even though I suspect probably "drama's" behind the scenes maybe at times that we may not have witnessed it went like clockwork for us players. Huge thanks & appreciation again to you and Kim.

Once again Paddy and I had a sensational time, we so enjoy the week at the Millbrook Masters. Congratulations once again. Please reserve our places for next year.

Thank you again Denise and Kim very much for such an awesome golf trip.  We can’t stop talking about it having lots of laughs.  It was run perfectly and you made us feel so welcome.  The ladies are great and made us feel apart of them seeing we were new. I have already got another couple wanting to come next year. Once again thank you very much.

We loved the whole package of Canada. The itinerary, accommodation, company, and the golf courses. Fun all of it. Great value for money. Well done. Thanks again.
