One of the benefits of being out of town and away from the Golf Club is that I had 4 AFDs last week so returned to the course on Friday healthy in both body & mind (Yeah right!). Waitangi Day saw the running of the 2008 Randolph Cup which is an Open Stroke Net event. There was a strong morning field while the afternoon players were a few down on numbers. All in all we had about 30 visitors and a total field of about 120.
The Cup was sponsored by PGF (Brett Tucker & Co) and we thank them for their involvement and support. With an outstanding net 65 the overall winner was Andre Kotzikas. The winners of the three grades were Senior - Paddy Helmore (69) Intermediate - Michael Sidey (69 on c/b) and Junior - Patrick Guo (67-Russley). For some reason 69 seemed a popular number for a lot of the winners & place getters. The good scoring was a testament to the condition of the course and the pleasant playing conditions. Spare a thought for David Issac who finished on 69 but had an 8 on his last hole the 4th.
I was fortunate enough to have Brian Nixey as my partner and we managed to skin Keith Love and Frank Garthwaite of $15 on the way round so there was plenty to eat and drink when we arrived back at the clubhouse. Day one of the golfing weekend was a great success!
