Well done to our top qualifiers in the matchplay championship qualifying on Saturday, Mikki Strong in Seniors, Richard Tuner in Intermediates, Greig Neilson in Juniors and Tim Stephenson in the C-Grade.

The resulting draw for the top 16 in each division has thrown up some tantalising matches across the board. Those that happen to lose their match in the championship divisions this weekend go into the respective plate draw next week. We also have bowl competitions for intermediate and Junior grades.

The draw and results can be seen by logging into the member section of the club website and viewing the event calendar. There you can click each division and competition on the calendar and watch how each division of the matchplay championship unfolds

Our pennant teams were in action on Sunday with the Championship team recording a close win over Opotiki 3.5 -2.5, individual wins to Hayden Nganeko, Zabe Orchard, and Jordan Shaw, with a half from Bryan Pirani getting the team over the line to record the overall win in the match.

The intermediate team had a hard fought draw 3-3 with Fairview, with Liam Farrell, Marcus Niles and Barry Mason all recording wins and other team members playing well and fought hard in their matches.

Our Junior team unfortunately had a close loss to Omanu 2.5-3.5, with Richard Hall & Daryn Peason recording wins, and Paul Collins halving his match.

This weekend the championship team is in action again against Rotorua at Lakeview, a good result in this match will hopefully see our team in with a great chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.  Our Intermediates and Juniors are in action at Fairview GC, go well again this weekend to all our pennant players.

The next two weekends with Saturday golf being mostly dedicated to our Matchplay championships, there is no traditional Haggle with the matchplay format taking precedence for the day. We will still have our regular nearest the pins and long drive competitions, which is free entry to all members playing on Saturday before 1pm. As the number of matches reduces from the 15^th March we will have the regular haggle competition back in action then.  

Go well in your matches and enjoy your golf!

Congratulations
To Jessie Savage, because her 87 on the 19^th February broke her age by quite a few shots!
According to me it is the third time this summer she has broken her age, and she has equaled it many times. What a magnificent achievement Jessie.
