See what is on this week at the golf club

Evening all,


From last week end, we had a good sized field on Saturday for the Presidents Cup Qualifying Round, The draw will be out for the first round later in June. On Sunday we had two teams contest Pennants finals, Handicap 2, Dannevirke was beaten 5 /4 by Wairoa, and Handicap 4 another Dannevirke Wairoa final, with Wairoa winning 5 1/2 to 3 1/2 . In the Championship grades Champ 1 Napier 5 1/2 Hastings 3 1/2. Champ 2 Hastings and Napier both with 4 1/2. Hastings winning on c/b. Champ3 Hastings 5 1/2 Napier 3 1/2, and Champ 4 Hastings 5 Napier 4. Some very close matches. Once again, thanks to our members who have given their time this year to play in the Pennant competition. Between now and next February the Golf HB, will be reviewing the competition and are alwaya happy to consider changes,(earlier rather than later) As you HB delegate I'm willing to take your ideas to their Meetings.


Saturday 2nd June: We have players all over the country this weekend. Firstly 11 players are heading to Christchurch for the Sisters Club Weekend, this year hosted by the Weadons Golf Club, There is a group playing a 54 hole Matchplay at Fielding, Others are playing the 27 hole strokeplay at Onga Onga on Monday 8.30am Shot Gun Start, plus Waipawa are hosting the Lucy Owen Fundraiser also on Monday.

I'm picking there will be members in Taumaranui as well At home as always, there will be a card draw at 11.30am.


Sattrup & Brannigan FBBB Competition. I have a list of 13 pairs thus far willing to play in this years competition. Can we get three more please to have a field of 16. I have the list at home, and will return it to the Clubhouse Saturday 9th, alternatively email entries to me pleasebburt@inspirenet.nz.

Great match, thanks, Amrit. Sisters Club, Queen's Birthday in Patea; S orry for missing a number of people at the proposed meeting a couple of weeks ago, I assumed it would be a normal Saturday and turned up at 5 pm to discover only a small number of people played that day, and most of those that did had gone home. I’m at golf this Saturday, so we’ll have a meeting following the prize giving. From my informal enquiries, it looks like we’ll have a group of about 24 going to Patea. I’ve booked accommodation at the Kerry Lane motel in Hawera. I’m currently looking at transport options. The most likely is a couple of vans. We will then require a couple of drivers for Saturday and Sunday. Regards Stephen Best wishes to our Coronation Cup team at Takapau, let's hope the cyclone heads out east and gives us a miss. For those turned off by the weather, there is always the Masters at Augusta to watch from the dry comfort of your lounge chair. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
