05th Sep Results: 7 players - Orepuki Tavern Monthly Medal
Despite the wet conditions underfoot, the course drained well and the greens held up impressively, rolling true throughout. With mild, warm temperatures adding to the pleasant conditions, it made for an enjoyable round out on the course.
With the Golfer of the Year race now a two-horse battle between two of the club's life members, today presented a good opportunity for both to pick up valuable points.

🥈 2nd: Nigel Fowle 85-09-76 = 28 putts
🥉 3rd: Nigel McLellan 92-13-79 = 25 putts (1st in putting)

Well done everyone 👏 weather & course were winners on the day

13/08/2026

Fifty players at Tuatapere a sunny sky,
Playing a Four-Ball tournament where expectations fly!
Two-person teams riding on their partner's back,
Hoping the "better ball" saves them from a total hack!

Cheers to our sponsors who made the day run, Tui Base Camp and Fowle Contracting second to none.

And look at these hampers, they’re truly elite,
From Tuatapere Four Square—a massive treat!

A huge shout to Lynette, who ran the whole show, Keeping us fed and ready to go.To the kitchen ladies you didn't, miss a beat, And the bar staff ready to pour a cold treat.

To our raffle sellers, who worked the whole room, And thanks to the ladies for raffles and food, the effort you make does not elude.

The men prepped the course, it looks sharp and clean,From the first tee box right up to the green.

And Fiona, your floral arrangements are absolute class,You’ve done them for years and you always surpass!

A massive thank you to everyone here,Who traveled so far for our big day this year! You packed up your clubs and you made the long drive,Just hoping your scorecard would somehow survive.

Today's winners, defending their win from last year, Clare Henderson & Sharon Irwin of Waikaka Golf Club with a sizzling 49 stfds 👏
