Patsy Hankins

Patsy Hankins (1945-2015), was one of the most respected golf administrators New Zealand has produced. Her legacy as a trailblazer in golf administration grew due to her long list of achievements and kind and gentle approach. From fostering the development of the women’s game to playing a key role in the amalgamation of men’s and women’s golf, Patsy was incredibly influential and will leave a long lasting legacy in the game not only in New Zealand but around the world. Patsy was an accomplished player, representing Bay of Plenty Thames Valley, but it was in administration that she really made her mark.
Patsy progressed to the Board of Women’s Golf New Zealand in 2000 and four years later became their Chair. It was at this time that she really started to influence. The process of the amalgamation of men’s and women’s golf was not easy and it took a good two years to finalise the relationship. Patsy was a key figure, always remaining positive and realizing that this would only be good for our game. When this happened and New Zealand Golf Incorporated came to being, Patsy was elected the first President, a reflection of the esteem in which she was held. In 2012 Patsy Hankins was elected Women’s Chairman of the IGF, a confirmation of her wonderful abilities as a contributor to the game. Her appointment was one of the biggest achievements by a New Zealand golf administrator. Not one to rest on those laurels, Patsy was bestowed one of the greatest honours in golf when she was offered membership at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and was one of seven women who accepted membership to the prestigious club. Only recently Patsy travelled to the home of golf where she became the inaugural Women’s Net Medal winner at the Autumn Meeting for members of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.
