The Tour Championship is the final event on the Canterbury Golf Order of Merit schedule which sees players accumulate points over the season based on their tournament placings. The final Tour Championship is also an opportunity for our Canterbury Golf Sponsors and Volunteers to be paired with our top players in a fun 4BBB Am-Am event. The Volunteer Management Am-Am was won by the pairing of Tim May and Tiaki Ogilvie with a net 61 with Maddie May and Lina Park on net 64 and Warren Houghton partnered with Cameron Harker on net 66 on a countback. Prizes for this section were kindly donated by Golf Warehouse.
The Sponsors Am-Am event was won by the pairing of Michael Gormley (Bartercard) and Dominic Brettkelly, their net score of 61 was helped by Gormley's hole in one on the fourth hole, to cap off a memorable day. Runners up were Pip Deans (Crystal P Jewellery) who was paired with Juliana Hung who shot a one under par 71 to also win both the senior and under 16 girls order of merit titles. In third place was Murray Brown (Golf Warehouse) and Hiroki Miya on a net 67 on a countback. Our thanks go to Trevino's who provided the sponsors prizes and Riccarton Park for providing the amateur vouchers.
Equalling exciting of the news of Michael Gormley's hole in one, was the eagle made by Yuki Miya on the par 5 second hole at Clearwater. Eleven year old Miya shot the round of the day for the Under 13 boys finishing with 83 which was no doubt helped by holing out his three wood for eagle.
It was a great to see all the Canterbury Order of Merit players enjoying the day with volunteers and sponsors at Clearwater Golf Club who we are grateful to for their continued support in hosting this event.
