Evening all, Saturday 4th May; Club Champs semi Finals, 11.30am card draw for balance of field. Match Committee duty Timmy House Committee Stephen Golf Hawkes Bay Pennants; Competition for this year wound up last week after five rounds. The top two teams from each division now play finals. Unfortunately we don't have any teams in the finals this year, but after five round Champ Division 1 finished 5th, Champ 3 finished 6th, and Handicap 2 & 4 both finished 3rd. Thanks to all players and team organizers who have made themselves available this year. Pennats offers both experience in match play, plus a chance to play other GHB courses. Wiffin Cup; The draw is attached, with first round games to be played on or before Sat 13th May, Round 2 is Saturday 17th June. Ample time to contact your opponent and get these matches played please. Sister Clubs; One month to go and we’ll have 70 visitors from our 3 Sister Clubs contesting the 52 nd playing of the Sister Club Quadrangular Tournament. If you want to play, put your name on the list in the foyer. Also, we need assistance to run the tournament. If you are able to help and have a spare couple of hours either on Saturday 1 June or Sunday 2 June please contact Stephen Paewai. We may need at up to 40 trundlers, this will make it easier for our visitors rather than having their vans cluttered with an assortment of trundlers. Regards Stephen. Driveway; The excess chip has now been swept, and picked up. Two speed bumps have been added, one about 50 meters inside the gate, and the other at the entry to the car park. Speed restrictions continue to apply. The predicted rain was minimal (4mm in town) so there may still be some summer run out there. Come on out and enjoy it while it lasts.

Regards Stephen Designated car parks; Car parks facing the club house have designated position names on them. Please keep them free for those people Bunkers, divots, pitch marks; We have a handful of members who spend many hours raking bunkers for us. That doesn't mean if you go in them you don't need to rake them. Please always without exception, rake the bunkers before exiting to remove foot and ball marks. Likewise pitch marks on greens and divots on fairways and in the rough should be repaired or replaced. Trundler Shed; Yet again can I remind members using the trundler shed, If you walk out and just push the door behind you, it is not locked. You need to push the bottom right hand button once the door is closed, so that the electronic locking devise can work. PLEASE, the door is being left unlocked day after day. Plenty of Golf happening at the Club this weekend. Good luck to members playing matches and Pennants. Good Golfing Bryan Burt Club Scribe 👍

Regards Stephen Driveway; President Peter has today completed some repair work on the side of our driveway into the course, in preparation for sealing. Some areas have been marked with Cones. Please treat these areas with the utmost respect. I know many of you get upset with cones on the road, but this is on our road, so slow down and avoid the edges. Weather permitting, the road may be sealed next Tuesday. State Highway 2; Bridge maintenance on State Highway 2 (SH2) near Dannevirke. (public notification) From 9am Monday 29 April for the duration of 6 days (weather permitting), essential bridge maintenance and asphalt work will begin at Tamaki River Bridge on SH2, near Tamaki River Road, Tahoraiti. These works are scheduled to end on Saturday 4 May at 5pm. Due to the narrowness of the bridge we need to close it to all traffic while this work is completed. Closing the bridge will enable crews to complete the work faster, minimising ongoing disruption to road users. The bridge will be closed 24 hours a day while work is underway with the following detour in place for traffic: Southbound traffic will detour Laws Road, onto Top Grass Road then to Tamaki River Road. Northbound traffic will detour Maharahara Road to Kumeti Road, onto Top Grass Road and then to Laws Road The detour route is suitable for HMPV and is expected to add between 10-15 minutes to journey times. Where required, school buses, emergency services and over dimension vehicles can be convoyed through the site when needed. Thank you for your patience and understanding of these works. For more information please contact HNO-PN@nzta.govt.nz . A bit of information to take in tonight. For those heading to the Cape Saturday, or staying home playing matches, good luck. As always travel safely. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
