The Central Forklifts weekend mens shooutout has been held. Barry Griffin was the top qualifier. While more people entered the shootout this year the finalist list looked mostly the same with only a couple of rookies. Staying in is the name of the game. Early on it is important to keep an eye on those not walking down the right fairway.
The last four were Allan Old, Rex Pebbles (again) with Chas Evans (again)and Sam Iraia heading down the last. Chas Evans is the Shoot Out winner for 2011.
Thanks to Central Forklifts for the sponsorship and to Peter Gallen and Reg Caldow, John Kane & Mick Dearmer who though dropping out early stayed on to help Peter by spotting and marking balls.

Only beer, only a pint or less. Most importantly you can only ask a person once during the above period and if you ask the same person more than once and that person bought you a beer on the previous occasion then YOU must apologise profusely and buy them a beer !

The Central Forklifts weekend mens shooutout has been held. Rex Pebbles was the top qualifier and played accordingly. The excitement of the first tee tends to affect the gunnas more than the old hands and most of the top ten succesfully crossed the creek.

As Bob Charles is known to have said " golf is not about the good shots you hit, it is about the bad ones you don't".
The last four were Lloyd Bonner, Rex Pebbles with Chas Evans and Bruce Hay heading down the last. Bruce Hay is the Shoot Out winner for 2010.

Junior Club members' successesRecently two of Te Marua's junior golfers took part in the National Maori Championships. Ryan Braybrook in the Intermediate section came from three behind to become the National Stroke Play Champion. He followed that form into the Match play section, unfortunately finishing runner-up in the final after 19 holes of an epic tussle with his opponent.
Alanah Braybrook finished 5th in the Silver section stroke play and in a very tough match was beaten in her quarter final by the eventual winner.
Kawhena Rangihaeta was runner up in the Silver Womens strokeplay but unfortunately was eliminated in the quarter finals of the matchplay.
Past TMGC member Haupai Puha won the Senior mens matchplay title. This completed a great week for the Te Marua contingent at the Maori Nationals, congratulations to you all.
On a happier note for Alanah, she won the Featherston Classic in the New Year, in the process breaking the Featherston Course record with a two under par 71.
