Cambridge golf results

The 13th annual Eduvac Teachers’ Golf Tournament held at the Cambridge Golf Club on Monday 29th September provided the large gathering of teachers with a swinging start to the school holidays.

The weather was fine, the course was in great condition, and the organisation was immaculate.

Best round of the day was a nett 70 from Rob Gunn (Fairfield Intermediate) – followed closely by Mike Kilgour (St Peters School), Mike Cotter (Paeroa), Chris Makoare (Glendowie College), Gary Bennett (Cambridge Middle School), Mike Demler (St Peters School), Ashley Patel (Otahuhu Primary) and Rene Kippen (Papatoetoe High).

Jenny Marillier (Papatoetoe High) won the women’s section. Runners-up were Sharon Gray (Cambridge High), and Nikki Johnson and Jan Davis (Mangere College).

The non-regular golfers were assigned handicaps after the round – based on their scores on four of the holes.

Those to benefit most from that system were Paul Shennen (Pauanui), Chris Valter (Papatoetoe West), Brett Larson (Te Puke Primary), Marcus Freke (Vardon Primary) and Steve Wilton (St Peters School).

Anne Pouwels (St Andrews Intermediate) led the women, followed by Christine Turner (Maeroa Intermediate) and Candy Hart (St Andrew Intermediate).

‘Nearest the pin’ competitions were won by Malcolm Neal (Papatoetoe High), Jenny Marillier, Sharon Gray, Jeremy Ogle (Highlands Intermediate), and Mike Kilgour.

The big hitters in the long drive competitions were Malcolm Neal and Christine Turner.
There were several holes in two – Mike Kilgour (two), Justin Simpkins (Maeroa Intermediate), Martin Brounton (Papakura High), Jeremy Ogle, Conrad Hailes (Highlands Intermediate), Sharon Gray and Mike Thompson (Fairfield Intermediate).

What a great way to prepare for the fourth school term!

The participants will have marked Monday 28th September on their calendars – already looking forward to next year’s tournament. And in addition the Highlands Intermediate team are investigating the possibility of hosting a similar event in Taranaki next July.
