The Wellington 72 Hole Strokeplay Champs for men and women was played at our course over the weekend. On a near perfect day, with little wind and sun on their backs, the Saturday morning round saw our own Marc Jennings set a new course record of 64, which included a hole in one at the 18th. To make the round even more incredible was one of his playing partners, Kaedyn Stops, also had a hole in one at the 7th.
Marc followed up his 64 with a 67 in the afternoon to lead day one with a gross total of 131, followed closely by two Shandon players, Richard Pegg 69/66 and Fasi Tuulima 68/72.

Shandon Golf / Rugby Cup Day
After months of preparation the Golf Day attracted a capacity field of 36 teams. The weather was very mild and other than a patch of rain mid afternoon, the scoring was very hot with the winning team Petone Rugby, captained by Evan Green, scoring an incredible net 52.
Organised by John Morgan our President, the event was started by former All Black fullback Allan Hewson kicking a ball down the first fairway. Thanks to John and the generous sponsors, plus entry and auction fees, the day raised $10,990 for the Shandon Junior Academy.
A special thanks goes to all the sponsors and the large number of volunteers who made this day a very special occasion. After the golf, many of the golfers went to Petone Rugby for a dinner to launch the Rugby Wold Cup.

Snow!
Yes it does snow in Wellington – although at sea level this is extremely rare!
The photos attest that there was a decent sprinkling of snow at Shandon giving the perfect photo opportunity on the 1st Tee for some hardy members. We’re glad to report that the majority made it safely home before the snow set in for the evening...

Hawkins Shandon beaten in Duncan Cup Final
For the first time this season, the Hawkins Shandon Premier side was defeated 8.5 - 6.5 by Miramar in the Duncan Cup final.
On a brutal Paraparaumu course, where the weather started out average in the morning and deteriorated to extreme for a three hour period in the middle of the day, the Shandon team went into the lunch break with points shared at 2.5 each. The advantage may have been greater had three groups not gone out of bounds at their last hole, the par 5 eighteenth.
In the afternoon the team played some magnificent golf, with the result coming down to the last two players, on the very last hole, in the dark.
The team and management can be very proud of their performance in the final, and over the year. Roll on 2012 and the opportunity to wrest the Cup back to Shandon’s trophy cabinet!

Hawkins Shandon Unbeaten in 2011
The Hawkins Shandon Premier Team achieved the unusual feat of winning all 6 Otaki Cup matches, accumulating 61 points and still not winning the trophy.
From round one Miramar were going to be difficult to head after posting a startling 13-2 win over last years runners up, Royal Wellington. This result always had Shandon on the back foot.
The team was well clear in second spot and qualified with a life for the Duncan Cup rounds.
In the major semi-final, a morning 3.5 -1.5 foursomes win was added to an afternoon 5 all singles result. The afternoon highlighted by the first hole in one by a Shandon player at this level, Jonny Dittmer acing the 12th at Otaki, for a 8.5-6.5 win over Miramar. This result progressed the team straight in to the Duncan Cup final.
In a close battle between Paraparaumu and Miramar at Waikanae G.C. on Saturday 14 May, Miramar prevailed 8-7 to confirm their spot in the Duncan Cup final against Hawkins Shandon.
The final will be held at Paraparaumu G.C. this Sunday 22nd May, tee off likely to be 7:45am and midday. Come along and see some great golf, and support our team in the battle for the Championship title.
