Last Saturday the two 18 hole men’s interclub teams were in action with the men’s Otaki Cup team, and the women’s teams having the week off.
Both 18 hole teams played at home and had similar close wins. The Div 3 played Karori for a 9-6 win. Singles winners were Peter Jackson, Simon Smith, Simon Buckley, Geoff Masters, Murray Wolland and David Cook.
Div 6 played Judgeford for a close 8½/6½ win. Singles winners were Joe Tuoro, Ash Peterson, Gary Tennant, Bruce Watkins and Mike Dixon. Ash Peterson was named ‘Player of the Day’ for his 4/3 win.
Meanwhile the men’s Saturday club field played a stableford round and the women’s field had a par competition. Results were-
Men
1st Ray Morris 44
2nd Henry Stechman 41
3rd Kelvin Biggs 40
Women
1st Isobelle Weaver +7
The All Teed Up Nearest the Pin’s were won by John Francis and Jane Buchanan and the no 18 by Bevan Sherwood. Perhaps the biggest winner of the day was Kelvin Biggs who won a sizeable jackpot for his two 2’s.
Last Wednesday a good field of 9 holers played a PGG Wrightson stroke round which was won by Geri Southey and Di Alexander with 32 nett, followed, in third place, by Errol Warren with 33.

The Fagan Ford Nearest the Pin was won by Jamie Brunton.
Last Thursday, in the New World Supermarket stableford competition, Trevor Smith was the winner with 39 pts from Murray Wolland with 38. Third was Simon Buckley on 37 and Bob hill with 36. The All Teed Up Closest to the Pin was Jeff Ogg.
The final full round of the TRC Toyota Twilight was held last Wednesday and ironically the heat kept some players away, but the competition still returned some blistering rounds. Nine of the twenty five players scored twenty points or more to really celebrate this final evening.
Helen Ordish scored 25 stableford points to take out the women’s division while Rusty Jacobson, the youngest player in the field, took out the men’s division with 23 points on a count back from Tim Tatham. However Tim did not walk away empty handed- he won the Wairarapa Funeral Services Longest Drive on the 18th with Lorraine Stewart but the night was really a ‘Jacobson family’ affair with Clare Jacobson being Closest to the Pin on the 8th winning the All Teed Up golf ball while Vic Jacobson won the Matahiwi Estate Pinot Noir and the evenings raffle. A ‘fun’ round followed by trophy presentations will be held next Wednesday rain or shine starting at 4.45pm.
The Tuesday women’s field played a par round in excellent conditions. Some outstanding scoring took place. Results were-
Silver
1st Lusiana Williams +6
2nd Marilyn Strang +4
3rd Roselee Thurston +4
Bronze
1st Isobelle Weaver +4
2nd Lola Ogg +3
3rd Lesley Stewart +2
The All Teed Up Nearest the Pin was Jane Williams and the New World Nearest the Pin on No 18 was Ann Kenny.
This Saturday all the men’s interclub teams are in action again and all the women’s Tilson Salver team plays on Sunday and the pennants teams on Monday. Club Day will be on Saturday and the men will play a bisque par competition and Moore Stephens Markham Shootout qualifier and the women, a stableford round.
Off The Fairway
Congratulations to Brent McHattie who scored a hole in one last Thursday. Brent played the perfect shot on No 13 and the ball landed short of the pin and went straight in on the first bounce.
