GOLF ROUNDUP

THE club's flag is flying at half-mast to honour long-time and respected club member Nan Carmine, who died on Saturday aged 92.

Nan was a part of the Poverty Bay fabric for decades, noted as a golfer for her accuracy off the tee and quality short game, particular with the putter.

While she was not one of the top players, she accumulated a long list of club honours — from junior and intermediate club championship crowns to mixed pairs trophies.

She also won plenty at open events at other clubs in the district and Hawke's Bay-Poverty Bay champion of champions tournaments.

Nan also played her part in a number of successful Northern Zone and Poverty Bay teams at such fixtures as the inter-zone, Lucy May and Bays Bronze (against Hawke's Bay) and Bays Salver (against Bay of Plenty).

In 2018, at the age of 90, she was the club's oldest active player.

The golfing community's condolences go out to Nan's family.

Nan's funeral service is at Evans Chapel tomorrow at 1.30pm.

THE Te Kanawa Cup men's pairs defending champions are back for another crack under a team name that won't be fooling their opposition.

Anaru Reedy and greenkeeper Pete Tamatea, aka Master n' Disaster, have reignited their combination.

Last year they combined brilliantly to clinch one of the most prestigious pieces of silverware in Park history.

Reedy, off his +2.9 handicap, is clearly the “Master” while Tamatea may claim to be the “Disaster” but played an equal part in last year's success.

The field, which features other team names such as Boil-Ups (Danny Boyle and son Zane), the Toe Knees (Tony Leggett/Tony Akroyd) and Rolls Royce (Steve and son Zach Rolls) are vying for the top 16 spots and have this month to post their designated 18-hole qualifying best-ball stableford score.

May the best men win.

SUNDAY — Men's net: D Harrison 71, A Pahina 72, M Emery 74.
