Poverty Bay
“NOT again!”
That was the response from one of the also-rans as Bruce Talbot pocketed the dosh for the second week running in the Sunday School stableford.
Talbot followed up 81-18-63 on December 31 with the same score although it was put together differently.
The New Year’s Eve round comprised nines of 39-42.
Last weekend’s featured a scintillating opening nine holes of even-par 36, which included birdies on the seventh and eighth holes and accounted for 27 of his points.
The jackpot of two twos was struck twice. Not only did Pete Anderson and fellow Poverty Bay-East Coast masters representative Stefan Andreassen have twos on the same holes — the second and the sixth — they were playing in the same group.
A bogey/double-bogey finish left Tene Goldsmith frustrated but it was still good enough to win the division 1 men’s stableford with 76-10-66, for 42 points — his round featuring 10 consecutive pars (third to 12th holes), followed by a birdie on 13.
Neil Mackie was in the money on Saturday. He won the division 1 stableford with 77-9-68, for 40 points, struck the jackpot of two twos (sixth and 11th) and got the approach.

Patutahi
JAMIE Graham has not played a lot of 18-hole rounds in his several seasons at Patutahi.
It looks like he will be playing more.
One of what are known as “the Grapies” — predominantly farmers and grape growers who usually play nine holes during the week — Graham shot a personal best 85-27-58 to win the junior men’s net on Sunday.
It is understood a good number of players from this group are looking to qualify for the shootout this year.
Graham is well on his way to doing that.
Hukanui Brown carded his second sub-70 round in the space of three weeks to win the senior net with 2-under 68-6-62.
It was not the low gross score of the day. That went to Tony Akroyd who had five birdies in his 67 although it was only good enough for fourth place.
Andrea Haisman won the women’s net with 90-27-63.
SUNDAY — Men’s net, senior division: H Brown 62, T Green 63, B Wallace 64, T Akroyd 64.
Junior division: J Graham 58, C Brown 64, A Nimmo 64, A Hindmarsh 65, A Brodie 65.
Women’s net: A Haisman 63.
FRIDAY — Meat pack nine-hole stableford, senior division: A Pardoe-Burnett 22, T Sweeney 21, T Green 21, T Brodie 21, G Brown 19.
Junior division: L Jamieson 22, K Donovan 22, J Graham 21, D Dods 21, A Nimmo 20.
