A mixed field of 114 golfers competed in a two-day tournament at the Warkworth and Omaha golf courses on April 23 and 24.

The annual Matakana Two Course Classic attracted players from throughout Auckland and further north, and was played in near-perfect conditions.

The men’s gross was won by Mark Anderson, while Fleur Reynolds won the women’s gross just eight shots ahead of runner-up Sala Bishop, of Warkworth. Both Anderson and Reynolds were from Muriwai.

Major sponsors, Remax Realty and Jarden Investment Funding, supplied the bulk of the large prize table. Prizes were also donated by The Bridgehouse and Sculptureum.

Tournament organisers are already preparing for next year’s event.

Men’s stableford – Division 1 winner, Greg Bishop, Warkworth; Division 2 winner, Steven Woodcock, Warkworth.
Women’s stableford winner – Margie Weston, Akarana.
Men’s nett – Division 1 winner, Ray Everitt, Omaha; Division 2 winner, Bruce Stubbs, Warkworth. Women’s nett winner – Lesley Barley, Omaha.
