The day at Te Marua Golf Course was a fantastic one, as reflected in the high spirits of all our players. Given the beautiful weather, the green staff had presented the course in excellent condition, with the greens both firm and true, allowing the accomplished players to showcase their skills.
A huge thank you to all the course staff at Te Marua for providing a quality course for our players.

Our tournament kicked off with the morning session, where 30 individuals teed off early for a spot on the national team. It was a special day for the Wellington committee, as Allan Fayen (The Phantom) was, much to his surprise, announced as a Lifer member. Congratulations to Joel Bull, who won the day with a gross of 77. A great effort also came from The Phantom himself, who was a close second. An honorable mention must also go out to National President Jamie Dempster, who also shot a 77—unfortunately, as he abandoned us on the day, it didn’t count!
The afternoon Ambrose session kicked off at 12:30 with a massive 144 players, with two four-man teams per hole. The day was slow due to the sheer number of attendees, but spirits were high, and the players enjoyed the friendly competition. A huge congratulations to Advance Electrical Wholesalers Upper Hutt for taking the top prize with a net 55.
