Congratulations to Brian Gill for winning the Reg Carter Cup last Saturday, with a final round net 66 just beating out Bruce MacKenzie who had three brilliant under par net scores, lots of great scoring through the three weeks so hopefully the form continues for everyone through to the upcoming Matchplay Championships.

This Saturday is the qualifying round for the Matchplay Championships, please make sure when you print your card that you enter the matchplay qualifying as this is how we will know you have entered the competition. The draw and size of the competitions will be completed according to the number of entries received on the day. The top 16 qualifiers in each division will play for the championship in the respective divisions, and your handicap index as of this Saturday determines which division you will be entered in. Good luck to everyone with your qualifying round this Saturday.

Our Mens pennant teams have had a solid start to the season, with our championship team recording an excellent win over Tauranga and a tied match with Kawerau in their two matches to date. Our intermediate team had a great win while the Junior team a hard fought tie Fairview with in their first matches out on the 9^th of February. Good luck to the Intermediates and Juniors who play their second matches this Sunday at Tauranga Golf club, and our Championship team who play Opotiki at Te Puke Golf Club. Our senior team have a bye this weekend and currently have one win, one loss and one tied match, three rounds into the season.

The Mens committee are keeping abreast of the one tee start trial, any constructive feedback is always welcome to men@omokoroagolf.co.nz

Please also keep an eye out for upcoming communications as we will be having our first Sat Mens version of a  ‘roll up’ Saturday of the year in the near future.

As always , many thanks to our great sponsors.
