Day 2 Toro Women’s Interprovincial Wednesday 5th December.
Our team came up against the strong North Harbour team first up. Conditions were slightly windy but perfect for golf.
All matches went to the last few holes with Aorangi unable to shut out on games. It seems that the team are extremely competitive over the first nine but much to their frustration cannot keep up the momentum. However Lynda Brown, playing at four managed a good victory 4/3.
Playing a very experienced Northland team in the afternoon the Aorangi girls felt confident they could find the precious three wins needed to have a team...

Gerken was the star of the morning round with a victory over Abigael Crawford.
In the afternoon the team played a very young Auckland side (average age of 13.8 years), a...

Our team of Jason Leary, Nigel Heney, Regan Stills, Blair Franklin, Owen Miller and Ray Grant competed outstandingly at the recent NZ Golf Freyberg Masters tournament at the Taupo GC.
The team began the tournament with a good win against Otago 3.5-1.5 and a solid half against Hawkes Bay. At this stage it would appear that Auckland, Manganui /Wanganui and Tasman could be the teams to beat.
Going into Tuesday, Aorangi had the bye in the third round and in the afternoon round four saw them come against a very strong Northland side. Defeating Northland 3-2 put the team well up the...
