Reta Guttery wins her sixth Southland women's golf title in 1986......

Reta Guttery won her sixth Southland women's golf title in 1986.  She beat Robyn Todd 10 and 9 in the 36 hole final.  Reta was up by 8 at lunch and must have been feeling fairly confident of taking out the championship.

Reta had won her other titles in 1968-69-70 and in 1979 she managed to end Liz Douglas's winning streak.
June Pope managed to gain third place with her win over Vera Georgeson. 
Pat Scholefield beat Noeline Hunter in the 18 hole bronze final.
