Warkworth Golf Club will be hosting a regular open event on the first Friday of each month after a successful inaugural competition.
The Bridgehouse Open on August 7 was fully subscribed, with 116 players across 29 teams on the course.
The first-place prize of golf for four at the Bay of Islands Golf Club in Kerikeri, plus a $300 voucher for Paihia Resort & Spa, went to Kane Earl-Peacock, Hannah Jamieson, Chris Coote and Wayne Griffin.
In second place was Warkworth Fitness – Ben Curtin, Sam Beehre, Raymond Beamish and Paddy Jo Atkins, and in third was the Green Shed – Paul Knapp, Rhys Rhodes, Paul Ashton and Chris Hudson.
A highlight was when Ben Kloppers made the only hole-in-one in the competition on the ninth hole.
Club coordinator Sonya Lewis says the club is looking for sponsors for the new monthly events.
“It’s a great way to have your business seen in the community, and it’s locals supporting locals.”
The Bridgehouse provided first, second and third prizes and had a mulled wine station in the pergola on the 7th green.
Sonya says the new regular competition will be a great opportunity for local players to network and at $25 per person for green fees, there is no excuse not to play.
