Hello Golfers

18 hole Ladies – Last Wednesday, we had quite a few Club Champ games played with Olivia Clark, Angela Busby, Kelly Taylor & Lisa Marie Ireland winning after strong performances from their opposition. Sandra also had a winner later in the week. Angela & Jaquee Reid went to the 20th! This means in the 36 hole Club Champ Finals there will be Silver – Sandra vs Lisa Marie, and Olivia vs Kelly in the Bronze A. The caddies for these matches should be those that lost in the previous round. The Bronze B match will be played at a later date.

Grumpies – Stableford results from 21 Oct – Course Closed.

Thursday Club – Stableford results from 23 Oct – Course and Clubhouse Closed.

Weekend Comp – Par results from Sat 25 Oct – 1st Chris Brooks +3, 2nd Doug Clark +1, 3rd Honor Clark 0. One Two for Peter Schenk on #8.

We have an amazing sponsorship opportunity to have your business and message printed onto our scorecards.  There is a minimum of 1600 cards printed out each month, and we wanted to give this opportunity to our members first, before we go out to other sponsors. Remember, sponsorships can also include membership or other benefits.

Following on from a successful re-invigoration of Junior Golf, we are working with Kiwi Golf (who run the golf intro lessons in schools) to raise funds to help both us and Kiwi Golf do even more for Juniors. Get a team together for an epic end of year fun day on Friday 12 December – best three scores each hole will count.

Hello Golfers

Well, we’ve had an eventful few days with wind and postponements. A huge thank you to all who were able to assist with the clean-up yesterday.

9 hole Ladies – The ladies are busy preparing for their 9-hole Open Day this coming Monday 20 October. Spread the word and get your entries in!

18 hole Ladies – A wonderful day was had on Wednesday with the exciting final of the Martin 4BBL event. Honor Clark & Alison Tipler were 1 up going down the 18^th so the tension was high. A small but enthusiastic crowd was there to encourage them. It was down to the putting and Honor & Alison prevailed. Emily Loughnan and an injured Felicity Warren were formidable opposition. In the Martin 4BBL plate match, Carol Parkinson & Kelly Taylor combined wonderfully to score a win against Sandra Petersen & Julie Dondertman.

Results from 8 October – a Stableford round. 1^st Ju Allen with 34 points, 2^nd Jenny Wilkie with 32, 3^rd Bindy McLeod on a countback from Bernadette Pither. Closest to the Pin on #6 was Marilyn McKenzie, and #8 Karen Shaw. There were no Twos but we did hear that Jenny Wilkie was extremely close to a hole-in-one the other day at Heretaunga!

Grumpies – PAR results from 7 Oct – 1st Arthur Warren 0, 2nd Shayne Hammond -1, 3rd Paul Riddiford, Malcolm Wood, Pete Price -2. One Two on #6 for Chris Hanson.

Thursday Club – Stableford results from 9 Oct – 1st Trevor Petersen 42, 2nd Alistair Petrie, Brent McKinlay, Paul Riddiford, Graham Wilson 37, 3rd Doug Clark, Warwick McKee, Derek Stephens 36. Twos on #6 for Brent McKinlay, Mariana McDermott, #12 Shayne Hammond, Doug Clark, #16 Malcolm Wood.

Weekend Comp – PAR results from 11 Oct – one entry today, so a refund is at the office.

Trophies – If you have one (or two) at home, please polish and return to the office.
