Popular golf tournament set to celebrate milestone

The Allan Scott Family Wines women’s golf tournament will celebrate a quarter century of competition at its Fairhall home from March 10-12.

The format remains the same. On Monday, a stableford competition will be contested in three divisions, Tuesday sees a four-ball, best-ball pairs competition and the final event, on Wednesday, is a gross and nett competition, also played across three divisions.

Back to defend the Allan Scott Trophy, for most stableford points across the whole field on Monday, is Bonnie Fletcher from Royal Auckland while local Christine Burns, who won their divisions on the Monday, also return.

Tracy Bary, who prevailed in the senior gross on Wednesday last year, is also back and will be one of the low handicappers, alongside Fleur Reynolds from Muriwai.

A total of 191 golfers will take part over the three days, with around 170 competing each day.

To recognise the 25th anniversary, dinners will be held following play on both Tuesday and Wednesday with former committee members invited along to share in the celebrations.
