Carterton Golf Club

By Wendy Wills.

In March, Carterton Golf Club hosted our annual 4 day Vets Tournament one of the many that is held throughout New Zealand. Our Vets lead by Jim Harris who organised the tournament, many thanks Jim, ran the tournament very successfully. The car park and surrounds were filled with many motor homes and caravans and the camaraderie among the players both on and off the course was amazing. Which could be seen by the smiles on faces and the laughter coming from the club house. The Tournament held over 4 days, Monday through to Friday with a rest day on the Wednesday which enabled people to go out and enjoy the Wairarapa and join in with our twilight golf on the Wednesday night. Personally myself I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing in the tournament and highly recommend it to others. The competition was stableford with scores accumulative over the 4 days.

The overall winners were: Men’s Div 1: Peter Thompson (Fielding) with 159 .Men’s Div. 2: Michael Lack (Levin Inc) with 169.Women Div. 1: Sharyn Buchanan (Strathmore) with 159.Women Div. 2: Faye Lack (Levin Inc) with 170
