Greenwood Cup Round 1-3 at Waipukurau. Our team will be announced next Thursday in What's On. Thanks to Richie Gray & Brad Dippie, for their work contacting all the players and finalising the team.

Ladies;
On Monday the HBPB women’s Interzone was played at Waipukurau between Southern, Central and Northern. It has been played since 1956. Northern have won this competition more times than any other team and were on a winning streak of 7 years. Not this year however as us Southern girls won this convincingly and included in the team of 16 the players from our club were Laura Hurrell, Di Adams, Marg Treacy and myself. Joy Charmley was first reserve but not needed. Gwen Murphy is the Southern Zone Rep and chose a top team this year.
We have our club champs finalists with myself vs Sue Burlace in the seniors, Joy Charmley vs Marg Treacy in the intermediates and Bernice Roche vs Cheryl Benson in the juniors.
The course is looking awesome at present and is a credit to our greenkeepers and volunteers. Thanks guys. Margaret

Management Committee:
From last nights meeting, For anyone who pens a report for the Annual General Meeting, please start getting these together, as we need to get them to Gail by end of October for printing and posting. Carts: Graham Walker has taken one of our carts to Palmerston North where it will be fitted with new Lithium Batteries. Upgrading to these batteries is equivalent to reconditioning a car motor, so the balance of the carts will be upgraded when their batteries fail. The funding committee has been putting in applications for a cart replacement, so if successful, a new cart will appear at the Club. Roger Ransom, spoke on the work being carried out at the road entrance. The timber railings are to be replaced with rock cages, then filled with river rocks, as a symbol of the Tamaki River that weaves its way through the Club property, and is a provider of large quantities of metal. Signage and a symbol of Golf will be included , and visible from the main road. The defibrillator has arrived, but unfortunately with the incorrect cabinet. Once corrected and installed a training / information night will be held so that members are aware how to access and use the device, if circumstances ever arrive. Also discussed the possibility of notifying locals or Ruahine School, so they know where to get a device in an emergency. Further details will be provided in future editions of What's On
Best wishes to Raymond Martin. A facebook post informs us that Raymond had a stent put in today in Wellington. Will be home tomorrow. Wishing you a speedy recovery Raymond
Weather looks good for the weekend, so get out there and enjoy the magnificent conditions.

Unfortunately, no one was able to ‘sink a hole in one’ and win the money. A big thank you to Mr Amrit Pasad and all the staff and students who helped to make this event a success. We would also like to thank the Dannevirke Golf Course, our generous sponsors and our community for entering the tournament and participating in the fundraising activities held on the day. All profits of this event will go towards our students’ sports travel."
