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 13th October and also for the Baarrbraa Trophy at Eketahuna on Sunday 15th October. Please remember that these should be sent to: entries@martinboroughgolfclub.co.nz
