Final Round - Mt Maunganui

A great team effort on the final day at Mount Maunganui.  The Tauranga team won the overall day but with not enough points to beat Otumoetai for the trophy.  Well done to Brooke Polley who was our top scorer and the overall top scorer of the day with 43 points.   

Congratulations to Blake Griffiths who won the 9 hole fair play award. 

Well Done to David McFadyen who was runner up in the overall top scorer competition.  He missed out winning by just one point!

Thank you to all our juniors that played throughout the competition.  We are proud of your achievements and your behaviour both on and off the course was fantastic.

Special thanks also to the wonderful 9 hole caddies, and to all our parents who supported and helped out.

Sunday 7 March - Tauranga

An awesome day for our team who had the highest ever counting score.  A win by 30 points puts us only 6 behind Otumoetai with two rounds to play.  Amazing scoring from Stephen Glassbrook with 48 points, followed closely by David McFadyen 43, Jack Tisch 42 and Corey McLauchlan 41.

A huge thank you to all club members who supported the junior fundraising raffle over the weekend.  The raffle was won by Sue Collin.

Sunday 28 February - Te Puke

Another tough weekend for our Tauranga juniors playing in very hot conditions at Te Puke.  Well done to David who was our top scorer with 41 points.

Scores from our team of ten were Scott White 41, William Coxhead 39, Joe Yen 38,  Alex Oakley 37, Corey McLachlin 35, David McFadyen 35, James Cannon 30, Warwick Barnett 30, Julian Oakley 28, Cameron McFadyen 26.
