Golf Professional

Andrew Henare NZPGA Golf Professional Napier golf Club: I'm Andrew Henare the golf professional of the Napier Golf Club, with the start of spring upon us, I'm seeing whether your Golf Club would like the opportunity to have a golf professional attend your course over 5 consecutive weeks. I would like to run 5 x 90 minute clinics. I would love to bring as many potential members to your course, and to assist you in getting as many new golfers as possible to attend these clinics. I would supply all range balls / equipment for these clinics. All for $99 per person


The above offer from Andrew has potential to bring new members to the club. A new concept,. giving someone the chance to try the game, a bit like learning to drive, learn the basics first before you tackle the course. Seven and a half hours training before hitting the road sounds like a good idea. Obviously this requires numbers, and a club member to drive the concept, and assist Andrew as needed. Please contact myself or Brendan if willing to assist or if you have names of people interested in participating.


Good golfing, folks

Evening all,
Annual General Meeting, A good muster of members attended last Mondays AGM, where the business section flew through, with finances in good heart, and obviously members are more than happy with the course, as no one raised any negative issues regarding the Club or the Course. Recognition of service in the form of Life Memberships were bestowed on Helen Martin, Max Charmley and Ian McKenzie. Speaking to these members were Gail Borlase, John Mackay and Ken Barnett. All three new Life Members have been members of the Club since the 70s or 80s, and since joining have spent countless years on Committees, I congratulate Helen, Max and Ian on an outstanding effort A list of the 2020 committee is attached for your interest. (It may be headed 2019, but it is in fact the 2020 list)
The Match committee are working on the 2020 programme. We have some dates through from GHB but not all, and April is a difficult month to programme around as this year both Easter and Anzac weekends fall in that month. With Anzac Day on a Saturday, Monday becomes an observed day, so we have a 4 day and a 3 day weekend within two weeks of each other
Saturday 14th December: Christmas Cheer 12 noon Shot Gun Start, $20 Entry fee. The entry sheet has plenty of names on it, looks like a good field. Marcus & Glen are again running their Hagggle, food and drinks hole, so come along one and all and enjoy the day
2020:
Saturday January 11th Summer Cup Qualifying (top 32)
Christmas Message. Wishing all members a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. If you are travelling, please do so safely. Enjoy your time with family and friends. If time allows, hit the fairways
Good Golfing,
Merry Christmas,
Bryan Burt
