Golf results Lake Taupo
Monday the 31st of October was a clear and bright day here in New Zealand. The tournament was conducted at Lk Taupo Golf Course, Centennial. Best score for men was Richard Palmer with 39 and Greg Chenhall and Lynell Kelly with 38. NTP were taken out by Al Horan on the 6th and Sonja McAlister on the 18th.
Melbourne Cup day did not provide the best weather for golf, overcast and light drizzle at Wairaki. Scratch was won by David Klaffer and nett by Richard Palmer. NTP prizes went to Libby Fowler and Wayne Harris. Hilton provided snacks and drinks for all to watch the Melbourne Cup. My horse, Drunken Sailor ran tenth.
Wednesday dawned very wet and it was thought that play may have to be cancelled. But by 9am, fine weather intervened and all golfers went to Kinloch GC. This a daunting course and the scores reflected the difficulties faced by the players. Some said great, others good and others that they did not want to play a course as hard as this. David Klaffer again won the scratch and NTP prizes went to Wayne Harris and John Field.
Prize giving was conducted at 7.30pm in the Cellar Bar and scratch winner was David Klaffer and nett winner was Greg Chenhall. Both players and non-golfers enjoyed Lk. Taupo and many have stayed on to enjoy New Zealand
