Greenwood Cup Results
. Thanks to Brad Dippie, we have a summary of last weekend; (trainee Scribe!)
Saturday brought tough conditions with a warm but very windy day. First up we had Hastings and the score board of 9-1 showed a bit of a hiding however a lot of the matches came down to the last few holes. In the afternoon we had a slightly better showing with 6.5 - 3.5 against Maraenui and again a few close matches.
Sunday was a nicer day to play golf with no wind and softer greens from heavy rain over night. Napier were in fine form so we only managed to get two points in that match.
The team also had a side haggle with $10 in each and winner takes all for most birdies for the weekend, which was won by Pat Harrold having 7 birdies with 5 coming from his final match against Napier.
The team is looking forward to the next round at Hawks Bay where will have a full strength team back and a slightly easier draw.
Also huge thanks from the team to you Burtie for sponsoring our golf balls. Very much appreciated.
Greenkeeper Kieran.
Kieran has some testing to do with the sprinklers on the greens and would like 40 or so 2 litre ice cream containers. He is partial to ice cream, but doesn't think he can eat 80 litres over the next couple of weeks. If you have some stashed in the pantry at home and wish to give them to Kieran, please leave them at the Greenkeeepers office door. If they are full please drop them at the office when the staff are there, so they can deal to the contents (Ice cream, cakes and biscuits all gratefully received)
Scribe is taking a week off to partake in the Turangi Leisure Lodge Golf week. Centennial Sunday, Taumaranui Monday, Reporoa Wednesday and Turangi Thursday. Looking forward to some sun, and evening re-hydration sessions.
What's On will resume Thursday 24th. Calendar says we are Coring on Monday 21st, and I have no reason to doubt that, The next edition of What's On will provide details of whats happening over Labour Week end, and a summary of how coring has gone. Request, Kieran or James, can you flick me an article for the 24th please? . Thanks
Good Golfing

Our new carts are there to use and be respected. Last Sunday (unknown driver) obviously drove up to another cart on number 14 tee and tried to push it, leaving black tyre marks and holes in the lime track. Just dumb! Appreciate we have visitors and members using our carts, but any such behaviour will be dealt to by the Management Committee. "Use them, don't abuse them" Greenstaff; With Kierane being a fully qualified Green Keeper, the committee and he decided it was a good time to start another Apprentice. The role was advertised before Christmas, and so it is good to welcome Liam Making to our Club. Great to have you on board, and all the best for the next few years, gaining a qualification. Kierane Given the amount of water we now have available, our greens are being well watered. Being softer than normal, please be aware of pitch marks on the Greens. They may not always be yours, but please make a habit of repairing any you see. Thanks That wraps up this week. Have a good weekend, and hopefully the weather is not as bad as predicted.
