Russley win Woodward Cup<br />
RUSSLEY HAVE continued<br />
their recent dominance in<br />
men’s golf by winning an eighth<br />
Woodward Cup title in 10 years<br />
on Sunday.<br />
It turned out to be a perfect<br />
setting for their celebration as<br />
Russley hosted Canterbury Golf’s<br />
inter-club finals day, where they<br />
won three titles.<br />
<strong>The</strong> men’s team claimed the<br />
Woodward Cup by defeating<br />
Templeton 6-2. Templeton, which<br />
were looking for their first title<br />
since 1963, were well in contention<br />
after nine holes with Russley<br />
holding a 4.5-3.5 advantage.<br />
However, Russley’s contingent<br />
asserted themselves late in<br />
the matches to claim the title.<br />
Russley’s Miya brothers, Hiroki<br />
and Hayato, were both two down<br />
after nine holes against Sam<br />
Purdon and Jordan Latter respectively,<br />
but recovered to both<br />
win 2/1.<br />
Reid Hilton, Michael McAuley,<br />
David Kelly and Andrew Dufton<br />
all came through with wins for<br />
Russley, while Templeton’s Rhys<br />
Wilson and Ryan Bellamy also<br />
had good wins. In the Pollock<br />
Cup final, it was one-way traffic<br />
for the Russley women after they<br />
had built an unassailable 5.5-0.5<br />
lead against Pegasus after nine<br />
holes. Pegasus’ Hillary O’Connor<br />
came back from three down to<br />
grab a half against New Zealand<br />
junior representative Juliana<br />
CHAMPIONS:<br />
Russley<br />
captured<br />
their eighth<br />
Woodward<br />
Cup in 10<br />
years.<br />
Hung. But the other matches<br />
went Russley’s way, meaning they<br />
run out 4.5-1.5 winners. Amy<br />
Weng, Maddie May and Mihee<br />
Woo had big wins for Russley,<br />
while Karen De Latour got the<br />
sole win for Pegasus.<br />
Russley also claimed the men’s<br />
eight-a-side Blank Cup with a<br />
5-3 win against Clearwater. <strong>The</strong><br />
scratch match-play Simon Cup<br />
final was won by Waitikiri after<br />
they defeated Avondale 6-2.<br />
Pegasus Bay hosts<br />
youth golf initiative<br />
THE IN2 Golf Foundation will<br />
launch a new initiative at the<br />
Pegasus Golf Club aimed at<br />
attracting young people to the<br />
game.<br />
<strong>The</strong> foundation’s fundraising<br />
tournament will be held<br />
on <strong>October</strong> 26 at the<br />
club.<br />
Two-time world long<br />
drive champion Phillis<br />
Meti will be the guest of<br />
honour and will put on<br />
a demonstration of her<br />
power during the day,<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>2018</strong> champion<br />
from Auckland said she<br />
was excited to encourage young<br />
people to give the sport a go.<br />
“I love how we are visiting<br />
schools, doing a long drive demo<br />
and explaining there are lots of<br />
opportunities in playing golf,”<br />
Meti said.<br />
Phillis Meti<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s often pathways kids<br />
aren’t aware of, and sometimes<br />
these emerge from new ideas,<br />
that may open up a world full of<br />
possibilities.”<br />
Accompanying Meti will be<br />
Hamilton-based professional<br />
Nick Coxon, who<br />
went to the 2014 Youth<br />
Olympics in Nanjing,<br />
China.<br />
Coxon will chat to the<br />
children about his experiences<br />
and will give a demonstration<br />
with Meti.<br />
Christchurch Girls’<br />
High, Papanui High,<br />
Rangiora High and Pegasus Bay<br />
School are among the schools<br />
to be visited by the pair in term<br />
four.<br />
Programme manager Karen<br />
de Lautour said it was exciting to<br />
see the initiative get under way.<br />
