Hello Golfers.
St Johns results – Wow, Net 54.87 for the top two winning teams, with Byron Karaitiana, Tyrone Ewington, Lucas Grant, and Justin Karaitiana winning the day on a countback, 2nd Doug Clark, Stu Taplin, Bevan Sweeney, and Carl Petersen. 3rd Josh Hawkins, Daniel Hawkins, Julie Gray, and Mark Gray. A total of 28 teams entered, thank you on behalf of St Johns for a wonderful turnout 🙂
Mark your diaries for the Grandest Day of Golf – Sunday 27 April. It’s the last day of the school holidays and our traditional Grandma/Grandpa day has been elevated across all generations.
Yes, you can still compete for the Grandma, Grandpa (members only), and Ngahau trophies (committee and staff only) – but we’ve added so much more:
*non Grandma and Grandpas (the rest of us!)
*Best Inter-generational pair
*New Juniors division
*Longest drive in all divisions including Juniors
*Longest putt
*Nearest the Pins
*The Bill Jones challenge to “shoot your age” – a trophy to the closest
*and you go in a prize draw just for turning up!
This is all made possible by our new sponsors for the annual event Greytown Orchards Lifestyle Retirement who are all about living well in retirement. We welcome them to our family.
So wrangle your family members, all generations, and come out for a great day of inter-generational golf.
