A fantastic conclusion to our Matchplay championships last Saturday. 

In the Senior Final, a classy under-par round in the morning from Zabe Orchard was ultimately too big of an ask for Jordan Shaw to chase down in the afternoon with Zabe running out the winner 4&3.

The Intermediate Final saw a confident start from Darren Tumai in the morning put Don Howard under early pressure in the match. Don had his chances to close the gap in the second round and extend the match but Darrens consistency saw him also close out the match 4&3.

 The Junior Final was a see-saw affair with both Don Haywood and Nick Gray holding small leads at various stages of the match. The critical moment was on the 34^th hole with the match all square. Nick holed a great par putt from long range on the 16^th green, followed by a cruel lip out for Don gave Nick a one up lead which he just held onto to close out a fantastic match one up. Congratulations to both these guys for sharing a golf cart the entire 36 holes of their match! I am sure the temptation to sledge each other was there, but what a great display of old school golf values and what we love about the members at Omokoroa. 

The C-Grade Final was a battle with Graeme Muir out to an early lead over George Griffin. However George fought back to take a one up lead with one hole remaining, only for Graeme to win the 18^th hole and send the match to overtime. Graeme took that momentum onto the extra holes with a well played hole on the 2^nd to win one up.

Congratulations to our champions Zabe, Darren, Nick & Graeme this year, and a hearty well played to our runners up Jordan, the two Don's and George.

Onto this coming weekend and it is the last round of qualifying for the Shootout!

We currently have 7 golfers tied on the same score, with only 2 spots available to qualify from that seven. Another 3 golfers only 1 shot behind. A great time to have a good score this weekend if you are trying to reach the shootout!

The Volunteer Cup is also being held Saturday 24^th October. Please register your team via the link, or let the office know the 3 members of your team so we can enter you in the competition. The tee sheet will be posted by Monday so you will know your tee time for the day well in advance. 

Saturday 31^st October is the Mens Grand Slam event. It will be an afternoon shotgun start to allow for the Mens AGM and shootout calcutta to be held at the conclusion of play. You will be able to book as usual. If you have qualified for the Grand Slam your tee time has been posted for you already.

If you have not seen the Mens Discussion Paper circulated to the Mens Player Group ahead of the AGM please email men@omokoroagolf.co.nz for a copy of it.

Happy golfing this weekend team.

Cheers
