It is good to see the course is slowly drying out – fingers crossed there isn’t too much rain before the Lamb & Chardonnay on Sunday. For those of you playing on Sunday if you have any team changes please let me know before 5pm on Saturday.
On Sunday 30th October we are hosting the Baarbraa Trophy which is an annual competition played against Eketahuna. More details nearer the time, but if you are keen to play please let me know.

The 9 holers played their first round of Club Championships with Debbie Coom, Jane Fanselow-Price, Tania Williamson, Gaylene Selby Neal, Jo Guscott, Lizzy Thomson and Kay Harvey all going through to the next round.
On Thursday there were only a handful of players keen enough to play – the winner on the day was Mr Captain, Andy Morison, with 33 points from Jason Shaw also on 33 points. The only two of the day went to Nick Morison and Andy was nearest the pin.
