It has been a very sad start to the week with the news of the passing of Sally Fairbrother – she will be remembered fondly by us all. Our condolences go to Charlie.
Can I please remind all members that when they are teeing off the 3rd and 12th tees to please wait for any traffic to pass – I had a gentleman in the office last week whose car now has a large dent in the bonnet!!!
This Sunday is the Beef & Burgundy – please remember to let me know of any changes to your team prior to Sunday morning.

Div 11 were in the play offs at Trentham against Te Marua. In the 4 ball matches Rob Coy and Brent McKinlay and Peter and Jackson Gray won their games and in the singles Shayne Cater, Rob Coy, Tora Boyne, Pete Griffiths, Malcolm Bridge, Peter Gray and Jackson all had wins and Brent McKinlay halved his match. This takes them through to the finals this Saturday when they will be playing Royal Wellington. Good luck to the team – go Martinborough!!!!
On Monday the Silver Pennants team played at Manor Park against Masterton in very wet conditions – and some of us “don’t do rain!!” In the 4 ball Sandra Petersen and I had a win and Ju Allen and Netia Morison halved their match. In the singles Sandra and Jenny Wilkie won and Netia halved her match. Hopefully everyones clubs will be dry by next week.
It is a busy week coming up for the ladies – this Friday they are hosting Riverside Cup, Silver Pennants on Monday and Ladies Open Day on Wednesday.
That’s it for this week – have a good one.
