Once again, Boavista Golf Resort was proud to be the host of the prestigious Nike Shoot Out tournament on 9th July 2016.
This challenging competition is always very popular with members and this year the event attracted a field of 84 players.
On one of the hottest days of the year, some of the winning scores equalled the air temperature with Clive Hastie and Ian Bond winning the 1st Gross with 34 points.
First Nett went to Derek Weekes and Terry German with 45 points, followed by Chris Knell and Phil Turner with 44 points (back 9 – 21 pts).
In third Nett place was Nick Daly and Sophie Leroy also with 44 points (back 9 – 20 pts).
Janice Galloway won the prize for ‘nearest the pin’ on the 11th hole; the men’s ‘longest drive’ went to Phil Byron on the 13th and the ladies ‘longest drive’ went to Tracey Ford also on the 13th hole.
Generous prizes were donated by Nike but the most coveted was in the category of ‘best dressed’ golfer. The winners were Kath Sells and Raman Bhasin.
The barbecue lunch and refreshments served in the clubhouse restaurant provided a welcome oasis from the heat of the day and it is safe to report that an enjoyable time was had by all.
In 2017, Boavista Golf Resort will look forward, once again, to collaborating with Norgolfe in staging this very popular event.
