Kaiapoi big golf winner
Kaiapoi Golf Club members are feeling very pleased with themselves this season and it is not surprising considering the big haul of golfing trophies they have won for the clubhouse’s cabinets. Led by the veteran Jim Monk, 10 times the club champion, and backed by the youthful trio of Jason Sincock, Jason Miles and Marcus Mariu, Kaiapoi A won the Kaikoura Cup, a trophy competed for by North Canterbury clubs. Fifteen clubs took part in the best gross competition over six 18-hole rounds played at Kaikoura, Hawarden and Kaiapoi. Kaiapoi A also had the best net score but as the same team cannot win both awards that went to the next team — Kaiapoi B.
The Kaiapoi B team which won the Gardner Trophy for the first time was Trevor Monk, Andrew Adam and two juniors, Brian Ford and John Hullen. The Templeton Cup, competed for by 26 eightman teams from North Canterbury over six rounds of match play (team handicaps 123 or higher), resulted in Kaiapoi A qualifying first and • Kaiapoi gaining the fourth and final qualifying position. The Kaiapoi A team of John Clemence (captain), his son, Darryl, Des Steere, Joe Fox, Mike Greenwood, Les Orme, Neil Wallis, Frank Kennedy and, with help at times from Alan Brown and Dick Annan, won the Templeton Cup.
It then met the Central Canterbury Patterson Cup representative, Charteris Bay, at Amberley earlier this month and won, 5-3. At provincial level,
Kaiapoi’s team of Jason Miles, Marcus Mariu and Dave Hawes finished third in the Canterbury champion of champions competition for club senior, intermediate and junior title-holders, and it was a respectable tenth in the D.B. Challenge Canterbury club play of. The four representatives on that occasion were Miles, Brian Ford, John Hullen and Jim Glendenning. “The club spirit is tremendous and the . golf at the club is improving all round. At the start of the year the lowest handicap was eight, now we have five five-handicappers and four six-handicappers seeking the club championship (held by Miles),” the club captain, Robert King, said yesterday. 808 SCHUMACHER
