Evening all,
Coronation Cup Finals. ( Supplied by Wayne Mudgeway)

The 2019 Coronation Cup finals were played at OngaOnga last Saturday and Sunday.The 4 teams that won through to the final were Te Pohue from Zone 1, Napier from Zone 2, Porongahau from Zone 3 and Pongaroa in Zone 4. Saturday weather was rather cold, windy and wet at times, but Sunday was a brilliant day weather wise. The hosting club OngaOnga did an outstanding job which made the weekend flow very well so special thanks to John Swinburne and his team for looking after everybody.

After the Saturday play it was very even, with maybe Te Pohue holding a slight advantage in games but come Sunday, Napier took full advantage of the improved conditions, being unbeaten with 8 wins and 4 halves across the 12 players.

Napier took out the cup with 6 points from 3 wins, while the other three teams went turnabout, beating each other, all having 1 win each, so 2 points each.

Congratulations to Napier GC and the players involved for the win – unbeaten on the last day speaks for itself, a great achievement. Robin Daley, a Golf HB and Golf NZ life member presented the trophy to Gerry Gray, the Napier captain.

Finally, thanks to Russell Burns who looked after the day for Golf HB and again to John and OngaOnga for the presentation of the course and the catering.

We now look forward to 2020.

Management Committee. It is with regret that our Committee has received the resignation of our Green Keeper Brian Gear. Brian has decided to move to Australia (Kalgoolie) Wishing you all the best for your new adventure. An appropriate farewell will be advertised in the near future. We also have Maria Adams retiring from here catering and Shop / Camping etc duties. Both matters are before the management Committee Meeting Monday 17th June

With 116mm rain over the last 24 hours,(my rain gauge) I can assure you the summer run will be gone now for a while. We will see how it all soaks in in the new day or so.

Good Golfing
