A name well known to many in the golfing circles. A G (Anthony) Little is coming on board as an assistant to Kieran. Anthony has vast experience, and will assist Kieran complete his apprenticeship, as well as pass on his years of experience. Welcome AG to our staff.
Trundler Shed:
With the new door on the shed comes a new lock. It appears some members are having a degree of difficulty with the lock but Peter Greatbatch asked me to convey this message. The lock is electronic, so when the numbers are entered the barrels have to spin around to allow the door to open. After entering the numbers, watch the lock until the green light goes out, Now the door will open. If you try while the light is on, it won't open. Patience people!
Ladies;
Last Wed 24th July we held a very successful “Toast to Life Members” where past and present lady members were invited to a luncheon at the clubhouse. We also helped Edith Martin celebrate her 95th birthday with cake, flowers and punch. This event was organised superbly by Jad Suttor and Gail Borlase and all current lady golfers provided the lunch and decorated the dining area. Twin sets and pearls in evidence, along with waitresses attired appropriately and a sing along on the piano accompanied by Elaine the Piano Lady dressed as Elton all made for a great affair.
We have our last Pennants on Monday but we are not in the running for top prize this year. We have started our Club Championships Rounds with 6 Seniors, 8 Intermediates and 4 Juniors Qualifying.
Porangahau are looking for some lady players to play with their men or with their own partner on Sunday 4th August in a mixed Foursomes of anyone is interested ring Marilyn Forrest.
