Open Tournaments

The inaugural year of the NIB Open presented by PLUS4 Insurance saw a sold out field of 128 competitors play a single stableford event in 4 divisions.

Wonderful sunshine and a light breeze met our players as they headed out onto the course for the shot gun start at 11.00am. Whilst the large field meant for slightly slower than usual play no one minded as the weather continued to exceed everyone’s expectations throughout the day and the course was in magnificent condition (well done Greg, Dick, Gerry & Alan) and a real treat to play.

Alan Bradnock and Mark Sheehan representing PLUS4 Insurance encouraged NIB to support the club this year and we would in turn encourage members to support them and NIB in return. NIB National Marketing & Brand Manager Chris Carnall joined us for the tournament on the day and thoroughly enjoyed his time at the club.

Brian Oldridge was the overall winner with 42 stableford points. Other division winners were Issac Wiffin, Hayden Brown, Dennis Andrews & Anita Newman. Congratulations to you all.

Up for grabs on the day was a Honda Jazz motor vehicle for a hole in one on the 17th Hole through the sponsorship of Bowater Honda. Bob Aitken was the nearest to the hole in one missing by just a few centimetres.

The event ran like clockwork and was supported by Taylormade and the Total Golf team also – well done guys!!

A great social atmosphere was created through the support of all our volunteers who helped out on the day, leading up to the event & following including – Stephen, Allison, Norma, Erena, Bill, David, Andrew & Bryan – thank you all!!

SATURDAY 24^th MARCH 2018 –  NBS Open Tournament Report

Saturday morning started off rather wet but the skies cleared and it turned out to be a beautiful day.  There was a keen group of 94 players who competed for 2 men’s and 1 ladies division.  Due to the wet conditions, following 3 days of rain, players were given a 1 club length placing.  The putting surfaces were in magnificent condition.  The over 30 visitors to the club really appreciated the presentation of the course by Brendan and his team.

Special thanks to the tournament sponsor Peter Havill and NBS.  Thank you also to support sponsors being Bowater BMG, who offered a brand new car for a whole in one on the 3rd, and  Hello World Nelson, Total Golf and Blue Berry IT.

The tournament organisers congratulate all the winners and  thank the many volunteers who ensured a well run event.  Results are as below:
