GHB & PBW ; Golf Hawkes Bay and Poverty Bay Women , update from Wayne Mudgeway ( Acting Administrator)

Good afternoon to you all.

I write to inform the golfing fraternity of Hawkes Bay of an important appointment for the HB Golf Association that comes into place on Monday.

Many of you will be aware that in recent times we advertised for an Administrative Manager for the Association.

After advertising and interviewing we are pleased to announce that Andrew Jones (otherwise known as AJ) will start in the role as of this coming Monday 26th August 2019.

AJ’s role will be part time (approximately 20 hours per week) but there is flexibility within the hours - some weeks will demand more, some weeks less but the role is based on 20 hours per week.

AJ’s background to the job started with the Remuera GC in Auckland where after working with the Clubs Administrator for 5 years, he was offered the role on his own which he did for another 4 years. In 2015 he had the opportunity to start a NZPGA Apprenticeship, which enabled him to broaden his experience and expertise within the golf industry. In June 2017 (halfway through the apprenticeship) he was offered the opportunity to become the assistant professional at the Hastings Golf Club under Brett Allan, while completing his PGA apprenticeship. He completed the PGA training in 2018, his training covering golf coaching, game development, small business and management. AJ will continue to work in the Hastings pro shop part time.

So as you can see, AJ has an understanding of most things golf and after some initial help and guidance from the board, we anticipate AJ making the role his own before too long. I will be available to help as/if he needs it and Jack Sanders will continue with his role; looking after the finances so that AJ can concentrate on the golf.

AJ can be contacted through this email address ( info@hbgolfassociation.co.nz ) or mobile 021-316775.

I am still on the board and available if anything needs to be sorted, but in about a month I’ll leave the email contact responsibility in AJ’s capable hands. After then, my email contact address will be wayne@mudgways.co.nz

We look forward to a good relationship between AJ, the board, the clubs, the selectors, the referees and of course the players. ( Wayne Mudgeway )

Great these articles from other people, makes my job so much easier. Looks like a good weekend coming up so get our there and enjoy the game.

Good Golfing

Latest news from the club

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
