Sportsmen and women in the recent Davy Engravers' Celebrity Golf Day read like a who's who of New Zealand talent.

Olympic oarsman Mahe Drysdale showed some rare form on the fairways, while Welsh rugby coach Warren Gatland, ex-All Black Matthew Cooper and former Rugby League international Tawera Nikau all helped their various teams.

Referees Bryce Lawrence and Paul Honiss kept their players honest, while low-handicapped TV One newsreader Peter Williams showed his team how it should be done.

Top Waikato golfing girl Emily Perry joined with celebrities from rugby, racing, cricket, broadcasting and athletics to fill a field of four-man teams - three amateur players with a drawn celebrity.

Played at St Andrew's in an Ambrose format, the day was won by the Konica Minolta team of Craig Walters, Mike Wanden, Ma Petero and leading jockey Leith Innes.

Runners-up was the Hamilton News Hackers team of Sharon Davies, Jennifer Lasenby and Wybo Veldman with former Waikato and All Black back Scott McLeod.

Sports broadcaster Nigel Yalden was master of ceremonies for the day and prizes were presented by Davy Engravers' Cathy and Steve Blade.
