The annual Waikato Men’s Masters Championship

The annual Waikato Men’s Masters Championship was held on Saturday 6th August at the Waikare Golf Club. The entries received for this Year’s event, which exceeded all expectations! Subsequently, the decision was made to except all entries and cut back to 27-Holes. 

The forecast predicted early fog and that is exactly what we had.  We had to delay starting for 30 minutes so the decision to cut the event to 27 holes was definitely the right call.  

After the morning round, we had just 3 players under par.  Ben Westgate from Wainui, was in for lunch with the best score of 67, a two shot lead over Scott Robertson also from Wainui with a 69 and Matthew Cormack sitting with a 1 under, 70 round.  The afternoon 9 holes was a sprint to the finish!  Scoring the best afternoon round was Jordan Rangihika who climbed the leaderboard finishing with scores of 40, 33, 33 for a 106 total and 5 shots back from our overall winner, Ben Westgate who carded 33, 34, 34 gross score of 101!
