This is my last write-up for the year and the club certainly has finished the year on a high note with Lisa-Marie Ireland winning the silver ladies Champion of Champions recently and now Jason van Zanten winning the men’s Champion of Champions at Karori last week. Jason, who has just turned 19 was playing against men on plus 3 and plus 1 handicaps. What an amazing performance from both players.
The story of the month must belong to Peter Hudson, George Kirk, Martin Napier and Roger Parkinson. These so-called devoted “sensible” members have just been on a golf tour around Rotorua and Taupo. Apparently, and I find this hard to believe, they play for a ‘hand-bag’. Roger had it last year and the new owner is “Hand-bag Hudson”; dear oh dear, what is golf coming too – playing for a hand-bag!
