Halkett's perfect shot

One of the biggest cheers of Waahi Taakaro's 50th birthday weekend was reserved for club stalwart Geoff Halkett who played the perfect shot during Friday's 9-hole stableford which opening the anniversary celebration.

Geoff, a former senior club champ, hit a laser-like 9-iron on the 110m par three 11th which pitched a couple of feet before the pin before spinning sideways into the hole. The roars of delight from Geoff, his good mate Dean Goodman and playing partners Paul Adams and Martin Lubransky were heard several fairways away.

It was Geoff's second hole in one in his long playing career and earned him an ovation from his colleagues at prize-giving on both Friday and Saturday.

Congratulations Geoff from all your mates.
