Our annual 54 Hole Men’s Matchplay event was held over the long weekend, with 36 holes being played on Saturday 1st June, and the final round being played on Sunday. We had a full field with representatives from 16 clubs, including as far away as St Clair in Dunedin and from Tauranga in the north. Thanks to everyone who came along to play – as always it was a great weekend, with lots of fun and laughter along the way!

A big thanks to our tournament sponsors Thrive Financial and Speights Alehouse Palmerston North. Thanks also to our Men’s Match Committee for their hard work in making this tournament come together, and for the wee tweaks on the course, that make things just that little bit more challenging!
