The Rest

Pernice (c)

A staunch Aucklander who will rely on tactical nouse to guide both himself and his team to vicotry.  

Gold Jacket Odds - $22.20

Likely award - TP award for most frustrated

 

Rosco

Defending gold jacket winner.  A stalwart of the JRC with the best win ratio for Auckland.  One to listen out for.

Gold Jacket Odds - $3.50

Likely award - Quietest golfer award

 

Syds

Thinks he's good, but isn't - your classic Aucklander.  You can't deny his love of golf and boozing though.  An asset.

Gold Jacket Odds - $6.80

Likely award - Jacob Oram

 

Woody

A huge turncoat who fell in love with the Supercity after 5mins of living there.  Glory days are long passed.

Gold Jacket Odds - $14.90

Likely award - Colin Montgomerie

 

Reido

Passion personified - loves the JR with all his heart.  Fantastic banter, but will struggle if the wind gets up.  

Gold Jacket Odds - $14.00

Likely award - Cutest golfer

 

Baz

Excess boozing may hinder chances on course.  Pray you don't get stuck in his four or you're going down with him.

Gold Jacket Odds - $7.60

Likely award - Least likely to get invited back

 

Boner

Still hasn't figured golf out.  Wears his heart on his sleve though and will happily talk you through a 10 he made.

Gold Jacket Odds - $101.00

Likely award - Michael Campbell for highest net

 

Mulvey

A solid performer who can't be ruled out despite the handicap fraud saga of 2020.  Will win matches.

Gold Jacket Odds - $8.50

Likely award - Most excited

 

VB (sort of debut)

A hero's welcome South for a Northern JR journeyman.  Solid performer who is more Auckland than Auckland.

Gold Jacket Odds - $16.40

Likely award - Best Brad on tour

 

Nancy (debut)

A known lightweight, hopefully didn't play all his cards at the recent Auckland team building.  Great nicknames.

Gold Jacket Odds - $35.00

Likely award - Most kids

 

Boof (debut)

A fierce competitor who can't be ruled out despite this being his first outing.  Just gotta keep him off the pokies.

Gold Jacket Odds - $11.65

Likely award - Biggest head

 

Hughnit (debut)

Not much of a golfer, but one hell of a drinker.  Can he find some semblance of a game to help the team?

Gold Jacket Odds - $81.00

Likely award - Best rookie

Marsden (c)

Competitive as the day is long.  Will fight harder than anyone to stop the Cup heading north.  

Gold Jacket Odds - $5.70

Likely award - Prost/Senna for a rivalry he'll spark up

 

JBW

He. Wins. Matches.  2.3 out of every 3 to be exact.  Main barrier to success in 2022 will be the handicap committee

Gold Jacket Odds - $8.10

Likely award - Best check shirt

 

Brad Reid

Pretends he doesn't like golf, but still fronts every year, probably more for the post round showers than anything.

Gold Jacket Odds - $28.00

Likely award - Most wasted funds on club rental

 

Hurricane Ed

Loves boozing.  Can he keep the it in check for 3 days to allow him to compete for individual honours?  Unlikely.

Gold Jacket Odds - $49.00

Likely award - Drunkest Dad

 

Paddy

Best match-player in JR history.  Auckland must find a way to get under his impregnable skin to have a chance.  

Gold Jacket Odds - $9.60

Likely award - Fred Couples for coolest golfer

 

Webster

A true battler who finds himself in the mix more often than not.  At home in the Sth Island - a chance to repeat.

Gold Jacket Odds - $6.30

Likely award - Rebranding award for rebranding again

 

Wakey

Loves his golf.  The jacket continues to elude him and must start playing on his mind at some point.  Outsider.   

Gold Jacket Odds - $62.00

Likely award - Biggest toy throw

 

Grim

Fails to front year after year.  Reverse handicap farming in off season his biggest issue.  Hopefully does a Calcutta.

Gold Jacket Odds - $49.00

Likely award - Tallest golfer award

 

Paddles

Massive expectation resting on his broad shoulders.  Singles opponent will need a mortgage to get him drunk.

Gold Jacket Odds - $2.80

Likely award - Most likely to win gold jacket

 

Hummer

Tries his hardest but will need a miracle to get his name on the jacket a second time.  Don't fall for his smile.

Gold Jacket Odds - $31.00

Likely award - Nandor Tanczos for biggest hippie

 

Hutchy

One hell of all-rounder, but somehow missed out on golfing talent.  More at home off the course anyway.

Gold Jacket Odds - $27.60

Likely award - David Boon for biggest drinker

 

Motor (sort of debut)

A record 10 years between JR appearances will mean a miracle is needed.  Will still top the Blenhiem list.

Gold Jacket Odds - $51.00

Likely award - Best Blenheim-ite
