Summer Golf anyone?
Bryan Burt -Club scribe • January 16, 2020
Summer Cup, What a brilliant start the the year last weekend with 40 players Saturday, playing for the 32 spots in the Summer Cup, plus a handful on Sunday. Qualifying netts ranged from 62 to 76, so unfortunately some missed the cut in their first outing for the year.
Below is a draw for this weekend, I appreciate it is a long weekend, and we don't often have major competitions on such days, but we have a large group heading to Takapau next Saturday 25th for their Marae Tournament. Round 2 is not until February 8th, so a couple of weekends plus Waitangi day to get these matches completed if you can't this weekend.. As has been the case for some time now, if you can't play on a particular date, please notify your opponent and Mike Matthews <mikematthews058@gmail.com,
