A Queenstown golf director found himself in the rough after trying to evade a police alcohol checkpoint.
Dickinson was spotted doing a U-turn in Edinburgh Dr by police conducting the checkpoint in Hensman Rd on August 24.
They followed, and saw him pull over in York St and run from his car. He stopped when police called out.
A subsequent breath-alcohol test gave a result of 671mcg.
Dickinson, who also has a drink-drive conviction from 2016, was fined $1300, ordered to pay court costs of $130 and disqualified from driving for six months.
He was one of a dozen people convicted of drink-driving by Mr Heale on Thursday.
