GOLF ROUNDUP

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Organisers, the club and the course received plenty of plaudits following a successful Emerre and Hathaway Poverty Bay Women's Open this week.

The course, camaraderie and 19th-hole experience were magnificent for the field who came from far and wide for the two-day event.

Teenager Ellen Ball underlined her No.1 seeding by charging to the McFadyen Cup first 8 title and joining an elite list of champions.

The other divisions featured local and outside winners.

Electrinet Park member Janet Muir beat Poverty Bay's Maxine Francois in the Sandown Salver division 2 final.

Putaruru's Rachel Young rang the Mooloos cow bell loudly in beating Mahia's Paipan Denigan in the Awapuni Salver division 3 final.

Pen Wanklyn flew the Poverty Bay flag high in defeating Park's Carolyn Carpendale in the Waikane Cup division 4 final.

Viv Kyle, fresh from winning the junior women's club championship at Mahia, beat Poverty Bay's Sue Kemp in the Nicks Head Cup division 5 final.

The 27-hole stableford section was also popular. Remuera's Juliana Mitchell won the Tatapouri Salver (division 1) and Rosie Willock the Wainui Salver (division 2).

Stefan Andreassen (37 points), Rios Moleta (40) and Don Wright (37) won their divisions of the Liquorland men's stableford on Saturday.
