Matt Henwood\u2019s 74 led the way on countback from Anaru Reedy, with Simon Jeune third on 77 on countback from Craig Palmer.<\/p>\n
The cut-throat intermediate division attracted 41 entries vying for the top 16 spots. <\/p>\n
Alex Meban\u2019s 80 earned him the No. 1 ranking on countback from Kelly Spring, with club captain Peter Hakiwai third on 82 on countback from Richard Foon.<\/p>\n
Meban would have qualified sixth had he been in the senior division.<\/p>\n
Kit Goldsmith\u2019s 92 was best of the 14 junior qualifiers, with Cary Hensley (93) second and Duncan Bush (94) third. One unfortunate junior\u2019s card featured an 18 on the par 5 12th … also known as a tredecuple bogey. <\/p>\n
William Edginton shot 102 to top the endeavour division from Brent Croskery (103) and Brian Read (106).<\/p>\n
Qualifying was also round 3 of the Dodgshun Cup gross series, with the fourth and final round played on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Stefan Andreassen won division 1 with a best-three-rounds total of 244 (80, 81, 83).<\/p>\n
Reedy, who did not play in round 2, would have won Division 1 by a country mile but failed to push the Dodgshun Cup entry \u201cyes\u201d option on the pro shop digital system for round 3. His 74 that day would have gone with the 71 he had in round 1 and 74 in round 4 for a 219 total.<\/p>\n
Brian Anderson delivered a home straight kick to win Division 2, shooting 79 in round 4 to go with 84 and 86 for a 249 total, four clear of Brent Colbert and Ross Chalmers.<\/p>\n

Jon Priestley is not defending his intermediate men\u2019s club championship title.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s moved up to the big boys\u2019 sandpit for the 2026 edition and faces one of the best of them in the first matchplay round of the senior division.<\/p>\n
Regan Hindmarsh is the No. 1 seed after carding 2-under par 68, including five birdies, in round 2 of qualifying on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Twenty shots back, 16th and bottom qualifier Priestley might want to read the David and Goliath passage of the Bible for inspiration before taking on Hindmarsh in the first round of matchplay.<\/p>\n
The fact there were 16 entries was not lost on members. \u2019Tahi stalwart Eddie Brown Jnr said he could not recall having a full senior field in his time.<\/p>\n
Reigning champion Hukanui Brown will look to make it a record eighth senior crowns in a row from the No. 2 spot after his Sunday 69. <\/p>\n
Dwayne Russell was third with a 72 recorded in the first round the previous week (players who competed in both qualifying rounds counted their best score).<\/p>\n
Beau Toa\u2019s 79 topped the intermediate men by one stroke from Tony Sharp and 2025 junior champion Korban Harrison-Allen.<\/p>\n
Mason Smith fired 83-18-65 to not only lead the14 junior qualifiers, but also win the Division 2 men\u2019s net.<\/p>\n
Graeme Roadley\u2019s 92 was the best of the four-man endeavour section.<\/p>\n
The senior women\u2019s division will be a straight final between reigning champ Denise Johnston and Caylpso Stills-Hindmarsh.<\/p>\n
Kennedy Sarich shot 100 – the best of the intermediate women – and advanced directly to the final where she faces the winner of the semi-final between Frances Tupara and Kim Torrez.<\/p>\n
The junior women\u2019s crown will be a duel involving Charlie Holland and Lou Kriel.<\/p>\n
SUNDAY – Men\u2019s net, Division 1: Beau Toa 67, H. Harris 68, R. Hindmarsh 68, G. Brown 69, S. Toa 70 on c\/b.<\/p>\n

Mat Greeks won\u2019t be retaining the junior men\u2019s club championship title, but he is giving the intermediate honour a good go in 2026.<\/p>\n

Defending champion Steve Phillips fell at the first hurdle, beaten 4 and 3 by James Witika, Junior Akurangi got past Tim Beattie on the 18th and Shaun Pahina pipped Stephen Rolls in an 18-hole battle.<\/p>\n
Matt Henwood is having to go the long route to get his hands on a first senior title. He was unable to qualify due to Tair\u0101whiti masters representative duty, so went to the bottom of the 11-man field.<\/p>\n
It meant a first-round match against his Te Kanawa Cup-winning partner Craig Christophers, who after losing 6 and 5, joked that he won the seventh and 11th holes, \u201cbut pretty much lost every other hole\u201d.<\/p>\n
Anthony Pahina defeated Josh Hayes 3 and 2 and the match between Bailey Matoe and Chris Fox is being played on Friday.<\/p>\n
Junior results were not available.<\/p>\n
In the women\u2019s champs, 22-time senior title winner Karen Hay went straight through to the final where she will meet either Carney Pipi or Kino White.<\/p>\n
Tracey Ford, Min Vette and Raukura Chesley are into the women\u2019s semis while Tai Aramakutu and Jean Foot will decide the fourth spot.<\/p>\n
