Cape Kidnappers Recap:

Hawkes Bay 2008 (aka, the era of "goldputter"). Shane outlasts the inaugural OCT champ, Jeremy Andrew in a classic (and long) battle down the back 9 at Kidnappers. Only thing some of us can take away from this particular tour are fond memories of a girl most likely not named "Rach".

Courses:
  • Marenui
  • Kidnappers (rounds 2 & 4)
  • Hastings (Bridge Pa)

Other highlights:

Statler and Waldorf dream team born (is this a highlight?). Weather = good. Drinking = weak. OCT school of four-putting established (founding members, Ben Barlow, Jezzatollah)

Order of Merit:

  • Shane Vuletich (Champion)
  • Jeremy Andrew (Tour Secretary)
  • Ben Barlow
  • Matt Byrne
  • Craig Foltz
  • Iain Stewart
  • Simon Feasey (Spoonist)
