Given publication delays it now seems some time ago that we hosted the Christchurch Casino Masters Charity Golf Tournament however it is appropriate to record that it was an outstanding success and a tribute to the organisers Fore J Productions (Jerry, Julie, Jack and Jonesy) with over $100k being raised for charitable purposes.
Saturday saw a splendid club day with an awe inspiring prize table which Rose O'Brien visited first with a sensational 45 stableford points. Another appearing early in the prize list was Karl Kitchingham who shot one of his best rounds ever at Shirley with a 66 off the stick- the rumour was that it could have even been lower with an ounce of luck.
Using a nett formula for the next two days competition was exceptionally competitive and a number of low scores were posted. Emerging as the overall winner was former club member Michael Stenhouse but we were well represented amongst the prize recipients with Niven Boyle, Brian Ronan, Grant Mitchell, Simon Carter, Barry O'Neill and Joe Mullins all in the frame.
Joe's team from Progressive First National Realty just missed out to the Temuka Transport team in the Team's event while Noel Chambers collected the prize for the lowest score when combined with a drawn professional from the Masters. Although as a professional he was not eligible to win prizes Ant Doyle set the course alight with a 68 on Sunday followed by a 63 on the Monday. In recognition of his efforts the organisers and Harvey Norman made a special award which everyone thought was a lovely touch.
Playing in the competition under the auspice of Vbase my golf was of a limited standard but due to the kind offices of the sponsor I did manage to be in the Best Dressed Team award.
