At the 2021Auckland Secondary Schools 36-hole Strokeplay Golf Championship hosted by College Sport, Westlake Girls Year 10 student Connie Jarm (pictured above left) won bronze in the Girls net competition.
Connie competed with senior golfer Naomi Yacyshen (pictured above right) in the 2-day event which began at Pupuke Golf Club on 24 May, with Day Two delayed until 16 August.
In round 1, Connie scored 86 off the stick and with a handicap of 9, finished on 77. Yacyshen, on a course handicap of 5, scored 84 gross and 79 net.
Day 2 was played at Maungakiekie Golf Club, but the wet weather conditions made it too challenging for competitors, and the competition was postponed after 9-holes. Rescheduled to 16 August at the Howick Golf Club, golfers enjoyed a picturesque blue-sky day, and the seascape setting, delivered some excellent performances.
Connie won Bronze with a final round of net 70. Naomi, also scored a gross 78 but with a course handicap of 4, she finished with 74 net. Pinehurst’s Nicole Choi won the Overall Girls’ Strokeplay Championship with a gross 67.
