 Vets Vibes

No golf for the Vets on Wednesday the 19th November with the course closed because of the extreme rain event.

The Omokoroa Golf Club successfully held a 3 Day Vets Mixed Pairs Matchplay tournament from the 12th – 14th November. The tournament was a scheduled event on the 2025 NZ Vets golf calendar and is the 33rd time the event has been held at Omokoroa. 96 players competed over 3 days in 6 groups made up of 8 mixed pairs in each group. This was a reduced field from previous years due to the construction of the new clubhouse. Except for some afternoon rain on Wednesday, players enjoyed good weather and a well-prepared golf course. The course was ready for Thursday’s play as scheduled after recovering from Wednesday night's storm. A big thank you to green staff and all the volunteers that have made the course so resilient now after weather events. The temporary facilities provided during the construction of the new clubhouse were also sufficient for the competitors.
Omokoroa Country Estate’s ongoing sponsorship of the event is greatly appreciated and the attendance of the manager at the event prize giving. The Shergold Trophy (unfortunately locked away in storage containers for the new build) is presented to the Winner of the A group and Ilma Shergold was in attendance at the prize giving to present the Winners prize.
