LIFT-OFF: Clear conditions for last night’s Rocket Lab launch at Mahia brought out onlookers and photographers from around the district. Gisborne photogrpaher Matt Dawson captured lift-off, and said the conditions were perfect. This shot was taken by him from Hospital Hill overlooking Gisborne city. The launch (inset) was an Electron rocket for Rocket Lab’s client US Air Force’s new Space Force. It took place at 6pm and was the first since the May 15 failure of the “Running Out of Toes” flight, which was recently pinned on a failure with the Electron rocket’s second-stage ignition system. The flight was a crucial one for Rocket Lab, which will be looking to get at least one more successful mission under its belt before its US$4.1 billion Nasdaq listing, expected before the end of September.

GOLF by Chris Taewa

HE rules over Te Puia Hot Springs. He rules over Tolaga Bay. And in September, Anaru Reedy intends to extend his dominion to Gisborne. Reedy, 50, has the chance to complete Poverty Bay- East Coast golf’s version of a calendar grand slam after dominating the King of the Coast men’s open final at Tolaga Bay on Sunday. Reedy, from the East Coast but flying the Electrinet Gisborne Park flag, beat Poverty Bay Golf Club greenkeeper William Brown in the championship 16 matchplay final. It was the third consecutive time the pair had met in a “Triple Crown” tournament final. Brown beat Reedy 3 and 2 in the Poverty Bay Open in September last year. Reedy avenged that with a 3 and 2 victory over Brown to win the East Coast Open crown in April. Those two results and form this year meant no one was surprised to see the pair navigate their way to Sunday’s final at the King of the Coast. That was where Brown’s challenge came to a grinding halt. Reedy didn’t need brilliance. Solid was good enough to put away his younger rival, their match ending on the 14th hole. “He wasn’t at his best,” Reedy said. “He was hitting it fat a lot — going down a club and coming up short quite a bit. I played solid and in the end that was enough.” Reedy’s toughest test of the weekend came in the first round from Springfield golfer Craig Newbrook, father of former New Zealand golf representative Penny Newbrook. Reedy led 3-up early in the match but “a couple of silly little mistakes” allowed Newbrook back in. Reedy was 2-up with two to play. He lost 17 with a bogey but held on for a 1-up win. His next challenge was Tokoroa member and 2015 KotC winner Nathaniel Cassidy. In a battle of former national Maori champions (Reedy 2004, Cassidy 2015), Reedy won 3 and 2. It put him into a semifinal against Patutahi’s Dwayne Russell. “He played really well but I got away early again and was never down,” Reedy said of his 2 and 1 win. Brown, who made it three former national Maori champions in the field (he won in 2014), beat Springfield’s Ray Shields 7 and 6 in Round 1, Park’s Tony Akroyd 6 and 5 in the quarterfinals and Poverty Bay’s Thomas Donovan 3 and 2 in the semis. For the top male golfers in the district, the PBEC grand slam relates to what they call the Triple Crown — the East Coast Open, the King of the Coast and the Poverty Bay Open. An elite group have won all three over their careers, Brown the most recent of those. The Herald is in the process of finding out whether a calendar-year grand slam has been done. If it has, the most likely contenders are the late greats Peter Rouse and Eric Gordon. ANARU REEDY has It has not been done this century. In fact, Reedy is the local golf’s equivalent first player this millennium to win the East Coast Open of a calendar grand and the KotC in the same year. slam in his sights.

Likewise Andrew Higham in 2013. the King of the Coast Brown was runner-up in both and won the Poverty Bay men’s open trophy he Open in 2012. won at the weekend. Reedy said the grand slam was “not a consideration for Picture by Paul me” heading into the KotC, the first time he had played in Rickard the tournament. But it is now. “It’s going to be in the back of my mind,” he said, referring to the PB Open at the Awapuni Links course from September 23 to 25. His next focus, however, is successfully defending Park’s senior men’s club championship crown. Reedy used the word “awesome” more than once to describe all facets of his first KotC experience . . . his opponents, the standard of the course and the famous Coast hospitality. “Uawa turned it on.”
