Golf and covid19
Except for my daily task of walking a dog as a volunteer, I can no longer at age, 73 because of covid 19, do the things I used to, mostly family care and music activities. Worrying and frustrating!
ANYONE FOR GOLF? I am investing my limited funds into membership of the Kapiti golf club. I may well find someone playing, but Neighbourly found a dog-needy person for me last year and I'm hoping luck will come my way again. A good golf mate would be not elderly but older, capable of playing without losing more than 4 balls per game, man or woman; living around Paraparaumu Beach might have some advantages.
When I played as a student I tried to get my handicap under 21 but I can't remember doing that, and I haven't played more than 4 games since 1975. Nothing like renewal, eh?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
