It has been a busy start to the golfing calendar. On Thursday 19th January we hosted the CER Electrical & Holmes Construction Pro Am with 41 professionals and 41 teams playing. Six teams went out at 7.00am and the rest of the field teed off at 11.00am. The winning Professionals were Chang Gi Lee and Charlie Smail (64) Kerry Mountcastle (65), Hyun Um Jung and Tyler Hodge (66).
The format of the competition was the best 3 stableford scores on each hole which could include the Pro. There were some amazing prizes up for grabs with the winning team being able to enjoy rounds of golf at Cape Kidnappers plus accommodation in Havelock North.
Thank you to all our sponsors who help make this tournament so successful – in particular CER Electrical and Holmes Construction for putting up the prize money for the professionals. To Provincial Insurance who put up a prize of $10,000 for an amateur getting a hole in one and $20,000 for a professional getting a hole in one on the 16th. To our hole sponsors and local businesses who donate prizes which helps make this day so special.
To Ro Griffiths and Lachie McLeod for all the hours they put in gathering prizes and organising the day, liaising with sponsors and the PGA.
