Wednesday Twilight
This week’s Twilight Golf featured a much-anticipated 'Curry Night,' and it didn’t disappoint! The rich, enticing aromas of curry wafted across the course, setting the stage for an evening that was as much a feast for the senses as it was for the scorecards.
Despite a chilly southerly wind and the threat of rain, an impressive 44 golfers braved the elements for a fantastic night of golf and great food. The Makara grapevine was in full swing, too, with five Ohariu golfers joining us. They claimed it was because their greens were being cored, but undoubtedly they had heard about Curry Night!
This week’s competition saw five players matching their handicaps, each earning a golf ball, while another five scored 19 stableford points, securing a $5 voucher. The competition was tight, with Terry McAlister, Kate Brown (from Oharui), and Kate Apperley each scoring 20 points and taking home $10. Runners-up Will Lyall and Tim Brosnahan edged ahead with 21 points, earning $15 vouchers. But the night’s top performers were Clare Craig and Michael Hanson (another Ohariu guest), both finishing with an impressive 23 points and pocketing $20 each. NTP was Jeff Mason and there were no 'two's reported this week.
The true highlight of the evening, though, was the incredible selection of curries, generously prepared by some talented chefs. The dishes were restaurant-quality—thank you to everyone who contributed, and to Isaac for tackling the clean-up! With just two Twilight Golf competition evenings left this season, don’t miss your chance and join us next week for another exciting round. See you next Wednesday! (Cheers Gail)
