Warkworth golf club back in business

Last year, Ben Kloppers got a hole in one.

The Warkworth Golf Club business house series is returning after a successful inaugural competition last year.

Dubbed “The Bridgehouse Open,” during each week of the series there will be three bar tabs up for grabs for first, second and third place.

The competition is scheduled to run for 10 weeks on Wednesday evenings from October 13 to December 15, although it may be postponed.

Organiser Aaron Masters says it cannot be held until Alert Level 2, but it will be held eventually, and teams are encouraged to register now.

So far, 15 teams are taking part, and Masters says the competition can be scaled to include as many teams as needed.

The handicap is adjusted each week so that every team has an equal chance at the podium and prizes.

Teams are also guaranteed to win a prize at the end of the series, although Masters warns that some prizes will be better than others.

“It will very much be a social atmosphere, perfect for weekend hackers,” Masters says.

It is a nine-hole, Ambrose format competition.

Registration is $270 per team of four. Contact 425 8248 or thedivot@warkworthgolfclub.co.nz for further information.
