Waimarino golf

On Saturday 25 March the top 20 qualifiers of the '94 -'95 twilight season came together for the Sports . Country shoot out. Some

very good high pressure golf was played with some of the higher handicappers of their divisions, Lyn Drinkwater and John Purcell just to mention two, out-playing those on lower handicaps. It was notable that both semi-finals went to a putt-out with Elaine Goldfinch sinking a fine 20-metre putt to beat Ray. Results: 1-16 Wayne Marsh 1st; Gary Cready 2nd. 17-36 Elaine Goldfinch lst; Ray Spry 2nd. The overall winner, after a very intense final hole, was Wayne Marsh who beat Elaine Goldfinch on the final putt. Sunday 26 was club day at the Waimarino couhe with 43 players teeing off in a stableford round. Conditions were ideal and the course very much to the liking pf most players, as the scores in all three divisions indicate. Ladies: B Dempsey 44, -lst; V Johns 38, 2nd; P Mcllroy 36, 3rd; LDrinkwater 35, 4th. Juniors: S Gray 44, 1 st; R Brown 41 , 2nd; C Heinold 35, 3rd; B McDonnell 35, 4th. Seniors: J Purcell 42, lst; N Black 41, 2nd; A Condon 40, 3rd; P Goldfinch 38, 4th. The Pennants Team had its first match of the new season on Sunday when it played at Taihape. The sixmember squad acquitted themselves with distinction with wins against Rangatira 7-2 and Taihape 5-4.
