Field scrambles for good results

Blue skies and freshly mown greens set the stage for the first qualifying round of Men’s Club Champs at the Tokoroa Golf Club on Saturday. Although the conditions were excellent and a good number of golfers competed, the results were average.

Members have an opportunity to improve on their scores this Saturday at the second qualifying round.

Twos on the day were scored by Gavin Cortesi, Kurtis Cortesi and Shanynn McCaskill. Shanynn also won the Ladies’ scramble with 37 points.

The first round of Ladies’ Club Champs was a close match between Tua Pirato and Debbie HayesLennon with Tua coming out on top. Great golfing.
