Evening all,
I beleive we have had a couple of aces recently, congratulations to Malcolm Priday #17 and Ronnie Turner #7.
Saturday 1st September.
Takapau 30 Hole Strokeplay Tournament, final of Ruahine Rosebowl. We have a bus of 16 players heading to Takapau on Saturday. From that we have to pick a team of four for the Rosebowl Team, from which the three best all day netts count. All the best guys and girls, Takapau has also embrassed the change and having a ladies section in their tournament, for weekend players. Hopefully over the next few years the numbers in this field will grow.
Manawatu V Hawkes Bay.
At home we are hosting the Manawatu v Hawkes Bay Rep fixture. Both Associations have teams of six Juniors and six Seniors. Our own Brad Truesdale is in the Senior team. This fixture has six tee spots booked on number one tee from 11am. Our Club players have two options, 1, If you wish to play early, number 1 tee is open until 10.50am, alternatively a card draw will be done at 11.30 off number ten tee. Last year we split the Rep fixture off No1 and 10, but this caused issue with Referees and selectors. so that is why they are going from one tee only.
Members of our match committee will be in takapau on Saturday, so resources will be streached. I will be at the Club from 10.15 onwards, hosting the rep fixture, and arranging the Club Competition, so patience is requested, organising carts etc for Referees and Selectors, plus any other requests sent my way, likewise after golf, there may be a shortage of Bar personel, so again any assistance would be appreciated.
Championship Match Play./ Plates, I beleive a good number of matches were completed last Saturday. For those unable to play last week please get those matches played prior to Saturday 22nd, so we
can have a clean sweep of Semi Final matches on that day.
Saturday 15th September
Kitt Kerr Hape Simpson Foursomes. This is the only day each year we play a mens foursomes event. Two players A & B make up foursome, Players A tees off number 1, players B plays the second shot, player A the third etc, etc. The foursomes handicap is player A + B handicaps added and divided by two. Your nett being the total gross minus combined handicap = nett. Best nett wins the Kitt Cup, 2nd nett the Kerr Cup, 3rd nett the Hape Cup and 4th nett the Simpson Tray. Entries on the day. By all means make up yoir own pair, although pairs will be made up on the day.
Management Committee:
All's well on the home front. Finances are healthy, and we appear to be growing our membership ever so slightly. We have a fund raising committee that has brought together a list of projects we will apply to Charities for funding Our current application is for repairs to the roof on the two story section of the clubhouse, which may be unseeen, but is rather unhealty, and in semi urgent need of remedial work.
What's On. With the demise of newspapers etc, emails have become the lifeline of our Club. With over 100 members receiving this every week, you are being kept informed. However Grrr, some information back would be good, ie the hole in one news at the top of todays email might be three weeks old, but if I don't know I can't include it. Email lesson number one, to send me something go toyour last What's On email and clik on Reply to Sender, type the message and hay presto its done' Look forward to receiving your snippets.
Good luck at Takapau, Good Golfing
