On Sunday 23rd November the final of the Wellington Matchplay Championship was played at Otaki.
 
The men’s final between Brayden Mazey and Daniel Hillier was a closely fought affair. Daniel birdied the first hole to take a one shot lead. This was followed by a series of halves with Braden getting a couple back late in the first nine to lead one up at the turn.Brayden shooting a 33 off the stick and Daniel a 34. Daniel managed to get a shot back  and they were all square after 15 holes. Brayden went onto to win the 16th and 17th and won 2/1. 
 
The ladies championship was contested By Emma Hayward and Sam Maree Brown.
 
Sam Maree played steady golf and was 2 up after nine. Sam Maree’s short game was very accurate and her ability to recover from trouble was impressive. Emma didn’t play to her normally high standard losing three and 2.
 
A huge thanks to Steve at Otaki for his assistance during the day – it was much appreciated by the players and officials.
