Evening all,

Last weekends Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3 would have to have yielded the best result for many years by our team, winning all three matches. Four more to go in November, so to the team, well done thus far, and all the very best for rounds 4-7. This is how things panned out (written by Wayne Mudgeway) GHB Secretary

"Round One of the prestigious Greenwood Cup was held over the weekend, the hosting shared by the OngaOnga and Waipawa Golf Clubs. I wasn’t present but I understand Saturday the weather was a bit on the cold side (in fact very cold side) but Sunday had a bit more sunshine.

A big thank you to OngaOnga and Waipawa for making their course and facilities available.

Some interesting results to come out of the weekends matches which will make the second round at Napier in November very intriguing.

Unbeaten on 6 points are Dannevirke, flying the flag for the smaller clubs with wins over Napier, Hawkes Bay and Waipukurau and a commanding 21 games won out of a possible 30 In second place are Maraenui with 5 points (18.5 games won), also unbeaten but a half with OngaOnga keeps them in with a big chance next month. OngaOnga are also unbeaten and officially sit in 3rd place with 4 points (19 games won) by virtue of the half with Maraenui, another one with Hastings and a win over Karamu. Also on 4 points and in 4th place are defending champs Napier (17.5 games won) and I guess all these teams are in a position to win overall; whichever one doesn’t lose a another game. Hastings sit in 5th place on 3 points (18 games won) but will most likely need results to go their way to be a winning chance. Hawkes Bay are in 6th with just the 1 point (11 games won), Waipukurau 7th, also on 1 point (10.5 games won) and in 8th place without a win at this stage is Karamu (4.5 games won). Karamu are having their first taste of Greenwood, having won promotion in a challenge match over Takapau back in July.

So some great golf is in store next month and as you can see 5 teams are still in with a chance – some bigger chances than others but with the best of our golfers going head to head, it is going to be very exciting."

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)
