Martinborough Golf Report

The 2022 winners of the AB Martin cup, father and daughter combination Doug & Olivia Clark. 

Another month has gone by and it is good to see some fine days.  The course is slowly drying out with the exception of a couple of areas.  The greens have stood up well to the deluges of rain and are in superb condition – probably the best they have ever been.

We are now entering into the busy time of year regarding tournaments and last weekend we hosted the AB Martin Mixed 4Somes – it was great to see the Martin sisters, Pip, Barb and Cate – they always have such marvellous stories to tell.  This year the winners were father/daughter combination Doug & Olivia Clark with a net 70, 2^nd Richard & Nichola Warren, 3^rd Brent McKinlay & Ju Allen, 4^th Jason Shaw & Cate Crombie, 5^th Trevor & Sandra Petersen, 6^th Mark Mason & Kris Chamberlain, 7^th George Kirk & Philippa Smith, 8^th Andy & Netia Morison and 9^th Aage & Jane Terpstra.

Grumpies have been getting good turnouts despite the weather and recent winners have been Bill Gordon, Arthur Warren, Brian Russo, Rick Hargreaves and Jason Shaw.  Twos have gone to Raymond Matthews (2), Arthur, Terry Blacktop, Nick Allen and Andy Morison.

The 9 holers have only played a couple of competitions over that last month – they have more sense when it’s raining and go for a coffee!!!  However, Jill Murphy and Lizzy Thomson have both been winners recently.

18 hole winners have been Julie Weber, Jenny Wilkie, Sandra Petersen and Ali Tipler.  Twos have gone to Marie Scrimshaw, Katrina Burgess, Karen Shaw and Mariana McDermott.

As always Thursday Club are getting good numbers every week and recent winners have been Rob Lopez, Arthur Warren, Glen Schofer and Stu Taplin.  Twos are in abundance on a Thursday and they have gone to Rob Lopez (2), Bob Lindberg, Malcolm Bridge, Peter Schenk, Jason Shaw, Malcolm Wood, Shayne Hammond (2), Andy Morison, Lachie McLeod, Glen Schofer, Brian Russo, Kirk Saunders, Marie Scrimshaw, Ed Elworthy, Colin Whibley-Smith, Bevan Sweeney and Bob Schofield.

The men also had their 36 Strokeplay Championship earlier this month with Troy Shaw winning Seniors, Alistair Boyne Intermediates and Phil Collins Juniors.

Over the next few weeks we are hosting the Wairarapa Ladies 4BBB, Mens 54/36 Hole Open, 9 Hole Open Day and Lamb & Chardonnay Ambrose – so a busy few weeks ahead.
