This year the event was held for the first time at the Aviation Golf Club and it was a picture perfect day for golf and the course was in great condition. With a Ford Fiesta sponsored by SOUTH AUCKLAND MOTORS up for grabs for a hole in one on the 9th all players were hoping for the perfect tee shot to win them the car. Unfortunately no one was successful but resident Tennis Professional, Gary Swinkels, was the closest to the pin. Thanks to Andrew Craw and team for their ongoing support of the hole in one and Golf Classic each year. The ladies champion this year was Anna Lam and for the 3rd time Pule Ofe won the mens with scores of 87 and 75 respectively. The 12th hole was also popular with SAKEBAR providing staff cooking up nibbles and offering Sake to the golfers before they teed off. Thanks to Joy & Norm for another great hole sponsorship. Entries were down a little but it was great to see the regulars back playing which included Junior Wimbledon doubles winner/former touring professional and current Auckland RPC Tennis Coach, James Greenhalgh, ASB Classic and Heineken Open tournament Director, Richard Palmer, former tennis Professional and coach to Wimbledon champion Michael Stich, Mark Lewis. Prizegiving was held back at the RORC Club rooms and after a great meal provided by our golf caterer, Glenys Gibson, two great items were auctioned. A signed Stacy Jones Warriors shirt, who was at the Club to personalise the shirt and having The Little General play in the tournament and at the club proved very popular. Then two members of the TASSPRINT Business House tennis team, Deek Tocker and Logan Keane, kindly donated their services as builders for day. Both auctions easily exceeded expectations and contributed to the Club raising over $5700 towards to our top senior and junior players in our Caro Bowl teams. Planning is already underway for the 2013 Classic and it will be better than ever. Thanks to all players and volunteers for your support, we do appreciate it and we would be unable to run such a successful event without you!
