Attached is the draw for the 2019 Summer Cup, following last week ends qualifying round. A couple of nett 76s made the cut, but the others and those above 76 obviously did not. There is always next year.
The match committee met on Tuesday evening to set the programme for the year, and the question was asked, "why do we play championships during the winter?" Apart from history, there is possibly no sane reason, so the proposal for this year is to play Autumn Championships. The dates being 9th March (all in unless you chose to be left out for the year) 23rd March, 27th April, 11th May and finals 16th June. What do you think? If you wish to express an opinion via email, please reply to Mike Matthews < mikematthews058@gmail.com
> For the record, you own your comments, so if a general discussion is required, these comments and the author may be read out in the clubhouse. If Champs move to these dates, which has traditionally been Wiffin Cup dates, then Wiffin will be played on the old Championship dates, a simple swap over. There was also discussion as to reinstating the red pegs along the right of No5 ? To be confirmed.
Competition Sheets. A proposal that Competition Sheets for Friday Saturday and Sunday rounds will be available in the foyer .Members are requested to enter competitions before commencing play. and if the office our shop is not manned when you put your name in, please add TP (To pay) after your name, and at the conclusion of play, hand in your card and entry fee
Out of bounds local rule. The new local rule as outlined in the January 1 2019 rule changes,has not been adopted at this stage by your committee. We will see what is happening at otheer GHB Clubs, As your GHB delegate, I will ask at the next meeting, who is adopting it, The Association will then need to decide, if they want to use it when GHB events are held at the various clubs. A work in progress at this stage, so bear with us please.
A message from our House Manager, Stephen Paewai, On Saturday 19 January the lounge has been hired for a private function and therefore golfers will need to drink downstairs following Saturday’s round. The club has been hired a number of times recently and we have 3 bookings confirmed for the remainder of the year, the next event is a wedding in May. It’s appreciated the hiring of the club does cause some inconvenience to members, however we ask for your cooperation as this provides some additional income for the Golf Club.
That's it for this week. To those of you who missed the cut in the first event of the year, the year is but a pup. Chin up,
Good Golfing
