Who was there……….

In the Men’s Senior division Daniel Hillier was back to defend his title. After a good stint at the Inter-provincials with the Wellington team and remembering that he shot a 64 last year he was promising to be hard to beat. Previous winners Legion Tumataroa (2011) and Michael Trass (2012) were also in the field. The top 5 were:

• Daniel Hillier, Manor Park
• Matthew Pegg, Wainuiomata
• Nick Ming, Pakuranga
• Tom Slaven, Royal Wellington
• Malcolm Gullery, Boulcott’s Farm

The Men’s Intermediate division,  Te Marua’s Rick Witana was back to defend his title. The top 5 were:

• Ian Mawdesley, Te Marua
• Michael Chapman, Te Marua
• Roger Thompson, Manor Park
• Wayne Turner, Te Marua
• Brandon Karawana, Wainuiomata

The 2013 Men’s Junior division champion Chris Hislop was in the Intermediate division for the 2014 tournament, so we would be seeing a new Junior Champion for 2014.  Or maybe not as Alex Walters, appearing in his 35th Masters and playing in the Junior division, was likely to be a strong contender. Yes that is right he has played in every one and won a few. The top 6 were:

• Mark Anderson, Te Marua
• Steve Pasene, Karori
• John Grant, Boulcott’s Farm
• Anthony Jefferson, Judgeford
• Blake Redmond, Te Marua
• Alex Walters, Featherston

The Women’s Silver division was a small field but a lot of clubs were represented. The top 5 contenders were:

• Jennie Hewitt, Manor Park
• Saida Wilson, Judgeford
• Amie Clisby, Te Marua
• Adrienne MacMillan, Kapiti
• Erika Cui, Boulcott’s Farm

The Women’s Bronze division was also a small field but once again a good representation from clubs. Te Marua’s Chrissy Doughty (2013 Champion) had moved up to the Silver division so there was an opportunity someone else. The top 5 were:

• Zhuoyi Hu, Boulcott’s Farm
• Maryanne Gray, Wainuiomata
• Dale Fayen, Te Marua
• Theresa Scholey, Te Marua
• Beverly Simmons, Wainuiomata
