Nine-holers' fun on the fairway

The nine-holers are certainly having fun but by the same token are enjoying their golf.
A nett 25 was played by Nita Edwards, well done. Sheryl Howie had a nett 31 followed by Jill Colton on a nett 34. To all you nine-holers - keep on enjoying your golf and keep your comments flowing.
The Property Brokers nearest the pin on No8 went to Gayle Bright while the All Teed Up on No16 went to Judy Shakespeare.
To the 18-holers and a medal round was won by Margaret Norrish with a nett 66 - well done Margaret.
Runner-up was Jill Baker with a nett 67, then a team of six all with 71 included Felicity Warren, Catherine Mitchell, Bindy McLeod, Sandra Petersen, Vicky Harris and new member Kaye McIsaac. To you all, well done.
I have been threatened by a certain helper behind the bar that I had to tell the world she got nearest the pin onNo6 while also scoring two twos, well done Mariana - happy now? Club captain Kris Chamberlain got nearest the pin on No8.
Forty-one played in the Thursday Club and the winners with 45 points were Chris Cole, Sandra Petersen and Ro Griffiths. Brian Tucker scored 44 then Edwin Read with 43. Five players were next with 42, including Graeme McIsaac, Lyall Callaghan, Simon Bargh, Tora Boyne and Matt Thomas. Graham Jacobson got two twos and Patrick Pedlow, Matt Thomas, Edwin Read and Ro Griffiths each got a two. Nearest the pin went to Roger Parkinson.
Saturday's round was a Medal, Putting and Shoot-out and the winner was Terry Fraei with a nett 65. Ian Stewart shared second place with Andy Morison on 67. (Nice to see Raymond Matthews back at the course with his lovely wife Susie).
The DB Southern Regions Triangular was held at the course over the weekend - Wellington, Hawke's Bay and Wairarapa play in three divisions for trophies. The women were fourth out of four, which was a pity, as Wairarapa has no junior girls playing. The only one was George Rink's granddaughter, so the team was a group of mature women. However, there was some good news. Jason van Zanten had a big hand in Wairarapa's age-group win. The senior men were third - Lyall Callaghan and Lance Phelps helped the cause here.
Ten players ventured out for club competition and the winner was Patrick Pedlow with a nett 69, Ian Stewart with a 71 was runner-up and was also the winner of the putts with 28. Phil Eberlein and Bruce Ward were next with nett 75.
On Friday, April 15 there is a charity tournament in aid of the St John Association. The theme is Ambrose, so make up a team of four and get your entry in: $100 a team (that's $25 each) to Terry Blacktop or contact the club.
Finally, the course will not be closed for the Business Women's and Students Tournament on Saturday as entries are low and the Julie Murphy Jug has been transferred to March 27.
PS: Bob Goodley is in hospital - we wish him a speedy recovery.
Good golfing and good luck.
