News, results from around Gisborne and East Coast golf courses
For some, it rained almost every hole. That resulted in some pairs calling it quits after 18 holes and retiring to the comfort of the 19th. Akroyd and Ratima did not have a clue they had won until their names were called at the prizegiving. The format was nine holes of best-ball, nine of Canadian foursomes and nine of ambrose. The winners’ best-ball of 32 included what Akroyd described as a “monster” putt from Ratima for eagle-3 on the fifth.They ended up with 27-hole net total of 95.125, over 1½ strokes ahead of runners-up William Aupouri and Eddie Brown Jnr.AdvertisementAdvertise
