It feels as if winter has returned so not sure how many Grumpies will venture out today.

Coming up this weekend is the Mens 54/36 Hole Open – it is very disappointing to note that we have nearly as many visitors playing as members, so come on guys get your names into the office and make this a tournament to remember.

Entries are now being taken for the Lamb & Chardonnay which is being played on Friday 13^th October and also for the Baarrbraa Trophy at Eketahuna on Sunday 15^th October.  Please remember that these should be sent to:  entries@martinboroughgolfclub.co.nz

Results from last week:  Grumpies played an Irish Stableford round with Griff Page leading the way with 76 points, Michael Eastwood (Ohope Beach), Brett Abercrombie & Mariana McDermott 68 and Vern Anton 67 points.  There were no twos.

On Wednesday the ladies played Stableford, 1^st Katrina Burgess 40, Jenny Wilkie, Emily Loughnan and Julie Weber 37 points.   Nearest the pins were Sandra Petersen #6 and Julie Dondertman #8, twos went to Sandra, Emily and Katrina.

On Sunday we hosted the AB Martin Mixed Foursomes and at the end of the day every couple appeared to still be talking to each other.  Once again a father and daughter team won, namely Kelly Taylor & Trevor Petersen with nett 66, 2^nd Mariana McDermott & Brett Abercrombie 69, 3^rd Ali Tipler & Sandy Bidwill 71, 4^th Cate Crombie & Jason Shaw 72, 5^th Honor & Doug Clark 75, 6^th Ju Allen & Bill Gordon 76, 7^th Sarah & John Monaghan 76, 8^th Jo & Tim Loe 76, 9^th Carol Parkinson & Pete Griffiths 77.

Just when you think the weather is improving it starts raining again but I doubt that it will deter the Grumpies.

It’s not often that we say it but it is good to have the wind which will hopefully help dry the course out and keep the rain away.

The Tome this week will be very brief.

For those of you who use carts you are out of luck this week as the ground is too soft – fingers crossed for some dry weather so that you can get out in the near future.
