Friday Night Recap ✔️
Friday night’s tournament came down to two of our wāhine, Hinemoa and Tamar, as the last two players remaining.

Hinemoa had a handy chip lead; however, the ladies agreed to chop and flipped for points before calling it a night.
Well played, kōrua! ♠️👏

We hope everyone who came along had a great day!

STATE OF ORIGIN II WAIWHETU MARAE BIRTHDAY GOLF FUNDRAISER

MACAROONS are making plenty of noise today… Fair enough. It’s amazing what one win can do after all that silence. See you in Game 3.

A big thank you to those who got behind our fundraising game last night. Your support did not go unnoticed.

A bit of a late start, but we eventually got underway with 34 players taking to the felt. There was plenty of action throughout the night, with all-ins, hero calls, and the usual Origin rivalry on display, keeping things lively.

To add a bit more fun to the night, we had several giveaway prizes up for grabs, with all winners receiving a FREE $55 Buy-In to our TA Friday Freezeouts.

🎁 Golden Chip Winner– Jake
🎁 Lucky Seat Draw Winner – Pegs
🎁 First Quads – Beck
🎁 First Player to Win with 7-2 – Renna
🎁 Closest Full-Time Score Winner – Puke

The final 5 players shared in the prize pool, with Tamar and Jake wrapping up the night with a chop.
