The Northern Swing ProAm series got underway earlier this month with a number of big hitters heading to Mangawhai Golf Club on March 15.
A total of 36 professionals were each teamed up with three amateurs. They were competing for a $10,000 prize pool.
Josh Geary came out on top with a score of 66, one better than the 67 set by Pieter Zwart at last year’s event.
Three other pros shot within one of Geary’s score.
Geary’s amateur partners – Rowan Clift, Shayne Stuart and Craig Cogan – picked up first place as a team with a score of 96.
Afterwards, the Barfoot and Thompson Warkworth Women’s ProAm on March 19 attracted 56 professionals who were playing for an $11,000 prize pool.
A large number of amateur and professional women turned out for the Warkworth Women’s ProAm this month.
Both Harry Bateman and Sam An shot a winning score of 63, followed by Brad Shilton on 64.
The winning women’s team was a Warkworth side of Sue Cook, Gaye Decker and Jill Ronald.
Warkworth Golf Club president Marie Claydon says feedback on the tournament was positive and having professional women compete for the first time was a huge bonus.
“This event is definitely one firmly on our calendar now, and we will keep the format the same for next year,” Claydon says.
