Two course two-day tee off

Golfers can get the best of both worlds next month, when the $10,000 Matakana Classic is held on two local courses.

The weekend mixed open tournament takes place at two golf clubs – Warkworth and Omaha Beach – with players spending a day on each course.

There are prizes worth $10,000 up for grabs, the format is gross or net Stableford and there are spots for up to 240 players.

Warkworth Golf Club board member Paul Jamieson said last year’s Matakana Classic was a great success and attracted players from a wide area, so it was good to be able to stage the event again after so many Covid restrictions.

The competition, which is sponsored by Jarden and Remax Realty, will take place on Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24, with the prizegiving at Warkworth Golf Club on the Sunday afternoon.

Entry costs $105 per player and a vaccine passport is essential.
