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

Regards Stephen Coronation Cup Zone Play; Our team was successful last weekend, winning Zone 3, to go onto the finals on May 25th and 26th. We completed team wins against Cape Turnagain, Porongahau, and Takapau to gain maximum six points. Five players went through the weekend undefeated, Zane Gregory, Eru Hauiti, Mark Arnold, Sean Edwards and myself. We should also acknowledge the efforts of Johnny Edwards who played number 3 for his old club Cape Turnagain. Johnny also went through the weekend undefeated. Zone finalists are Wairoa, Te Pohue, Pongaroa and Dannevirke, with the finals in Zone 1, but as yet the venue has not been confirmed. A vote of thanks go to Captain Mike for running the office all weekend, Rainier Angela and Gillian for their efforts in the kitchen, along with Syd and other helpers. As a club we put on lunch Saturday, team members brought along an impressive array of food for an evening meal, plus Rainier, Gillian and Syd, cooked breakfast for our team Sunday morning. Thank you one and all. Great to see that our members can and will go the extra mile to provide meals similar to those received over the years at the country clubs. Great effort. Thanks also to our bar staff Bazil, Stephen and Dipak, and anyone else who helped with the bar. Although daylight saving has finished, I haven't had notice from Mike to change Saturday Club starting time to 11am, so this week we remain at 11.30am. Looking at the Championship sheets, matches are running well with some ahead of time. Please keep these matches going, and remember Semi finals are down for Saturday 4th May, and finals are definitely on Saturday 18th May. If the weather does interrupt this weekend, we have Saturday 20th and 27th, plus the afternoon of Anzac day to get matches up to date prior to Semi finals day. Good golfing folks. 👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
