Missing Martinborough Star Article – Unfortunately due to an error at the Martinborough Star the December Martinborough Golf Club article was omitted. This was disappointing as it was a shout out to all winners during the year and the clubhouse build. The article is attached. The Star have apologised for the error and promised us a big spread in the February 2025 edition when hopefully we can showcase the opening of the clubhouse and the Pro-am.
No Sunday Club 15 December. Going forward, regular Sunday Club 10am on a Sunday, unless there is a tournament on. Please make your own Saturday arrangements if Sunday is unavailable.
