Golfers come out swinging

The $10,000 Matakana Golf Classic, a two course mixed open tournament, will return next month. Played over two courses – Warkworth and Omaha – the tournament format is a gross or net Stableford.

Now in its third year, Warkworth Golf Club board member Paul Jamieson says it is shaping up to be a successful two days.

“Golfers from all over Auckland will be playing and there are great prizes for all levels of handicap,” he says.

Early morning breakfasts, sausage sizzles and coffee trucks will be available at both courses. Jarden is again one of the main sponsors, along with The Clubroom.

Entry is $105 per person and golfers are encouraged to register early, as there are only 144 spots available.

The classic will be played on January 14 and 15. Registrations are being accepted at the Omaha Golf Club.
