Golf Updates

Greenwood Cup

We finished our Greenwood Cup campaign for 2023 off with a narrow 5.5/4.5 win against Maraenui on Sunday afternoon.  Losing 3 matches 4.5/5.5 ultimately cost us a chance to retain the cup.

Well done to Mike Trass who won Bretherton Buist Trophy for hightest points scored and at the highest seed with 6.5 points out of 7.  Mark Tasker had the same individual record but played further down the team sheet.

Results can be found on the Golf HB & PBW Inc website here.

If you are one of our lower handicap players please keep an eye out for notices regarding pennants, Coronation Cup and Greenwood Cup in 2024.

Tuesday Men vs. Women

The second challenge between the Tuesday Men and Tuesday Women took place Tuesday 28 November.  The day was kindly supported by Suzelle Lingerie & Swimwear and Thomson Suits with a great fashion parade showing some of their summer clothing.

The men were looking to defend the trophy to keep for another year and the women were looking to win to make the honours even for 2023.  Unfortunately for the women it was not to be, with the men having an average of 33 pts to the women's 31.9 pts to make it two from two for the men for 2023.

There was some great scoring with the best woman golfer Andrea Cranswick having 39 pts and best man golfer Graeme Bell having an outstanding 41 pts.
