Gisborne ParkMike Hutton and Glen McKinnon did not know what had hit them.
One moment they were teeing off the first hole in the final of the Turanganui Trophy men’s pairs.
The next they were shaking hands on the 11th green.
In between, they were pummelled by a golfing hurricane in the form of Jack Glassford and Roger Kelso, who turned the match into a one-pair show.
The 9 and 7 mauling was over so quickly that they played the 12th and 13th so they didn’t get in too early.
The Turanganui Trophy is one of two subsidiary titles to the Te Kanawa Cup pairs.
The other subsidiary, the Fletcher Cup, was also decided on Sunday. Cliff Nepe and John Collier beat Evan Parkin and Horst Schreiber 2 and 1.

Utting shot 84-16-68 to set up a first round match against bottom seed Ishbel McKinnon. Her efforts also won the silver division of the LGU.
A stream of birdies on the front nine holes on Saturday set Peter Clayton up for his lowest score at the Bay since October 2014. Clayton had birdies on the first, third, fifth and sixth holes, and added another on the 16th, in his 72-5-67, for 41 points. It won him the division 1 men’s stableford.
