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.
