Hello Golfers

A great big THANK YOU to all the volunteers (young and old) who turned up today and gave the course a massive makeover. Thanks too for the lovely morning tea. Much appreciated! Apart from the obvious “work in progress” areas the course is immaculate! Who would have thought we had succumbed to massive winds and heavy rain in recent weeks. I think all members should be very proud of our Martinborough Golf Club. All the best for the ProAm.
