The raffle is open to all club members and visitors. The three items are on display in the Clubhouse. The raffle will be drawn on … tba.
All proceeds will go to the Clubhouse fundraiser.

Wine fundraiser for the Clubhouse – This is the 2017 Pinot Noir from the small Sei Cento block in Martinborough. There are just 600 vines and up to 600 (sei cento in Italian) bottles are sold each year, with the wine being aged before sale, so it’s mature and ready for drinking now.
This entire vintage is being donated towards the Martinborough Golf Club new clubhouse fundraising efforts. $20 from every bottle sold goes to the club. Members Emily & Rex have lovingly tended the vines and winemaker Wendy Potts has crafted the fruit into a delicious drop. Funds raised so far $4,200.

Grumpies – Results from the Par round on Tuesday 3 July – Four intrepid Grumpies trusted the Metservice forecast and played in clear, cool conditions. 1st Andy Morison +2, 2nd Sandy Bidwill -3, 3rd Malcolm Wood -4, and 4th Lachie McLeod -6. Andy also got a Two on #16.

Thursday Club – Stableford results from Thursday 4 July – 1st Rob Smith with 40 points, 2nd Jason Shaw and Bob Tosswill 37 points, 4th Greg Dalton, Doug Clark, and Scott Reid with 36 points.
