Sunday removed any doubt from the mind that golf in NZ really is a winter game. On a day when there was a chilling wind and significant scottish mist that never quite developed into precipitation in excess of 40 braved the conditions to participate in this mixed four ball par competition.
Proving that bleak conditions do not hinder the ability to score well Struan and Terri Cain came home with an impressive score of +9 to win the event for a second time. They were closely followed by Russell and Sandra Standage on +8 on a countback from Grant and Janet Osborn. Janet's effort rates a special mention having played 36 holes over two days in what were pretty marginal conditions.
A host of couples tied for third on +7 so they were all rewarded - Andrew & Robyn Gillespie, Lawrence Wong & Mihee Woo, Tony Park & Jae Hee Lee and Neville & Phillippa Idour. Nearest the pin on 18 were won by Andrew Gillespie and Imelda Musgrave while 5 players recorded 2's for 3 balls each including Young Kim who had 2x2.
The aftermatch was held in the Dobson Gallery with Lasagne as a main course and Tiramisu for seconds. As always the fireplace produced a cosy atmosphere in which to thaw out. The next mixed match is the Mid-Winter Ambrose on the 12 July 2009.
