Hello Golfers.
Firstly, thanks to all those who came to the walkthrough last week. What fun it was to see our beautiful new building looking so good. A video of the view inside the club rooms is on our Facebook page if you missed out. https://www.facebook.com/MartinboroughGolfClub
A reminder about the wine fundraiser – we have had some great reviews and repeat orders, so the wine is going down a treat. We have raised $4,500 so far. Please share this among your friends/family as we have the capacity to raise $11,000 – can you help us get there? https://www.seicento.co.nz/product/2017-pinot-noir
