Adi, possibly the most reasonable golfer with the most honest handicap ever seen at a tournament quietly went about his business to take this years Open played in the Otago region. Early pace setter Shane Rush, a seaweed sprayer from Waihi found the going tough at Balmacewen and fell to a 23 stabie disaster which saw Mitch Young, an Australian chicken breeder from Whangapoua come home in 2nd.
Adi described this year's tourney as the best organised tourney he has participated in. Having organised many other tourney's he had obviously set himself a high bar and it is tribute to his character and reasonableness to have managed to do it again so well. Tiring of the burden of organisation he heeded the words of Peter Tai, an activity usually reserved for drunks and special needs homeless people, to declare the winner of the tourney to be next years organiser.
As the North Island and rest of South Island suffered from the apocalyptic fury of the atmospheric river, 11 made the trip to Dunners to kick things off at St Clair. In beautiful blue skies Marty, Shane and Mitch went rogue and dropped 38 stabies to make a serious step towards potential victory.
Day 2 saw the boys travel to Roxburgh. Some of us travelled with Man-babies who complained the entire way there, others were more fortunate. Roxburgh was fucking amazing and Adi and Shane lead the day with 37 points each. James was nearly assassinated on the tee box and his 20 stabies tells you all you need to know about golf and near death experiences.
Day 3 commenced with a pro-shop shambles and massively red faced and hungover old mate arrived late and shabby to get us away. With probably 8 players still in contention things were tight after 9 holes at the course that bills itself the home of golf in NZ. Ultimately wheels fell off campaigns and a tidy 30 from Adi was enough to get him over the line for his first ever Open victory in 20 years of attempts.
