Hi everyone,

We will be using the next two Saturday's to catch up on the Pengelly Trophy. This event is best 6 of 9 rounds of net medal play and is typically played on the first Saturday of the month. Due to the very wet winter causing course closures we have fallen behind and have only played six rounds so far this year. Using the next two Saturdays will allow us to catch up and then the final round will be played as scheduled, the following week on 2nd December. Accordingly the scramble for the next three weeks will be net medal and will be Achilles-Red tees only.

18H Women’s Strokeplay Championships 2023

These were played over four rounds, and concluded last Sunday when the Silver Division played 36 holes, and Bronze 1 played 27.  For the Silver division, the Championship was decided on the last hole with a one shot win to Rebecca Lewis, and Nami Fukui as runner up.

The Bronze 1 Championship was won by Colette Kraus, with Paula Brake as runner up.

The course was in great condition and this made for competitive golf, played in good spirit. Thanks to all who took part.

Rebecca will be representing Waitemata at the NH Champion of Champions at Whangaparaoa this weekend.  Another 36 hole marathon...we wish her well.
