Club results for 5/9/26

Gareth Edwards and Peter Watson teamed up well to win the match of the day on Saturday (Sept 5).

They won the combined net with drawn partners competition with a total of 146 off the white tees, with Gareth leading the way with a solid 72 and Peter chipping in with 74.

Matt Tomczyk (70) did his best but he and his offsider Aaron Kotua (78) fell just short, settling for second on 148.

Next were Andrew Bosselmann (73) and Sivina Jacobs-Harawira (79) and the pairing of Micayla Lowden (75) and Kerei Kotua (77) on 152 each.

Fifth were Mick Leggett (71) and Phil Rogers (82) on 153.

The round also counted towards the Barkman Trophy and Shootout, with Matt's 70 earning him maximum points. His 82 off the stick was notable for a back nine 39 which included a rare birdie on the tough finishing hole.

He was followed by Mick (71), Gareth (72), Andrew (73), Peter (74), Dave Huntley (76), while Keri (77) earned the last point on offer.

Keri also had success on the greens, sinking the only two of the day on No 2 and getting closest to the pin on No 5/14.

No-one broke 80, with Nick Riddell recording the best gross with a 81.

Marg Parfitt headed a healthy field of 9-holers, with a fine +3 for the front nine in the par competition. There was four-way scramble for the minor places after Richard Pearson, Paul McCrae, Paul Tunnicliff and John Dryden all finished with creditable +2 scores. Richard claimed second on countback from Paul M.

Jim McMullan, Ali Mawby, Warren Carey and Warren Green also played under their handicaps with +1, while Lexie Wilson and Barry Rhodes ended all square on 0 on a day of generally good scoring in changeable conditions.

For the fifth week in a row, no-one scored a two so the jackpot continues to mount.

Next week (Sept 12) the 18-holers play the third and final round of qualifying for the club champs off the blue tees. It also carries Barkman points and counts towards Shootout qualification.

The 9-holers play a net round off the front nine.

Golden Oldies results for 3/9/26

Paul Tunnicliff's hot form continued on Thursday (Sept 3) as he won the Golden Oldies' match of the day, a par round over the back nine,

Fresh from winning the C&F Legal Stroke on Saturday, he topped the field with an outstanding +5 in warm, sunny conditions. What made his gross of 40 even better was that it was played on greens that had just been cored.

Super veteran Warren Green was almost as good, securing second with a fine +4 score.

Ray Hopgood and John Dixon shared third with +2 each, while the trio of Andrew Dean, Ali Mawby and Phil Sellers also played above their handicaps with +1. Michael Doyle and Mick Leggett were next on 0 on a day of generally good scoring. However, no-one managed a two so the jackpot grows.

Old Hickory team finishes third

Our Old Hickory team finished third on a windswept Takaka course on Thursday (Sept 3) as Motueka continued its domination of this year's vets inter-club competition.

Just six out of 48 players scored 30 stablefords points or more as most struggled to cope with a strong northwesterly blowing across the Pohara links.

Motueka pair Reinhard Pauls and Brian Miller were joint individual top scorers with 33 stablefords each, leading their team to top place on the day with 120 points and strengthening their already imposing lead in the Club of the Year standings.

Dave Huntley was Waahi Taakaro's best player with 32 stablefords, with the other contributors being Graham Eggers (29), Peter Watson (28) and Bryan Ramsey (26). Non counters were Grant Fergusson (26) and Ian Hanford (24).

Our total of 115 was one shy of the combined Golden Downs-Redstone team in second place on 116, with John Andrews leading the way with 32.

Home team Takaka and Tasman tied for fourth with 112 points, followed by Nelson (111) and Totaradale (110). Greenacres made the long trip home with the popgun after managing a paltry 103 points.

Twos were scored by Peter Nolan (Greenacres), Eric Satherley (Tasman) and Bill Rooney (Nelson).

Motueka (1461) stretched their lead in the Club of the Year race to 75 points over defending champion Waahi Taakaro (1386) with three rounds to go. Next are Takaka (1374), Nelson (1356), Tasman (1354), Totaradale (1345) and Greenacres (1303). Golden Downs-Redstone bring up the rear on 1260.

The next round is at Greenacres on October 1.
