The Axeman – Match Play Final Report

Sunday, 12th October 2025



The Axeman Final was played on Sunday 12 October, We had 10 very nervous starters on the first tee, none more so than Chris Seaman, who hit his first drive well out of bounds, nearly followed it with his second, yet miraculously found the green with his fourth shot and made a five!



 84-year-old Barry Hayward proving that size and age do count! Barry claimed the 2025 title with a hard-fought victory over Warren Butts in a match full of tension, skill, and memorable moments.

The creek on the ninth once again proved costly for Warren, while Barry kept his composure to close out the match and lift the Axeman trophy.



A big thank you from organizer Captain Peter to Bruce and Gill for their assistance on the day, ensuring the event ran smoothly. Appreciation is also extended to Habitat Tree Works for their continued support as sponsors, helping make the Axeman a highlight of the golfing calendar.


Chris Mott also had reason to celebrate, having snapped up Barry in the Calcutta for just $50, turning it into a $400 prize.

Finally, a huge thank you to all players who took part and to everyone contributing to the Prostate Cancer Fundraiser — your generosity continues to make this event meaningful.

Congratulations once again to Barry Hayward – 2025 Axeman Champion!
Proof that experience, composure, and a sense of humour still win the day.
