Morning all

Saturday 26th January. Summer Cup Matchplay . / Takapau Marae Tournmanet. With a a couple of events on this Saturday, there has not been a Tee draw produced, but the following matches need to be completed before round two on February 9th . S Poole v M Priday, M Matthews v M B Lilo, R Olsen v B Poole, A Webster v B Burt, B Williams v J Edwards A Prasad v G Freeman, S Hikawai v P Greatbatch, R Munn v J Bassett, C Peck v C Fisher, C Mason v R Gray. Good Luck

From the handicapper “Occasionally we receive cards from other golf courses, while we can enter them the standard practice is to leave your card at the course at which you played and the cards will be entered at that course, We do get incorrectly completed cards, more frequently than we would like, we then go to the markers card to compare scores. A simple test is to add your nett score and stableford and the total is 107, 109 for ladies, the exception is when you have a couple of non scoring holes.”

From the management Committee meeting: Due to certain persons spreading mistruths regarding Friday Golf entry fees, we will again outline both Friday and week end competitions, and how they are paid out.

Fridays. $10 Entry Fee of which $1 goes to the Club, $2 to Twos, $2 to Jackpot $5 Competition. The Jackpot money is used to fund the last Friday of the month for the person or persons going the furtherest with 2 stableford points or better. Payout $100. Secondly any player who goes all the way (18 holes) on any Friday with 2 points or better receives $100. Ammended Rule. You do not have to have played more than 5 Fridays to quailfy for jackpot payments. All players starting earlier than normal start time of 11.30 onwards have to have entered their name on the start sheet, but can pay later. Players are not permitted to enter the competition after playing nine holes. Fridays competition is played as a single field, not split into handicap grades

Saturday Competition: $10 Entry $1 goes to the Club, $2 Twos, $7 Competition. The field is split into Senior 0-14 and Junior 15 +. Thus should we have 10 Seniors and 20 Juniors on a Saturday, the prize pools are $70 and $140 respectively.

Hopefully this clears the air for all members, but should there be any questions they should be directed at Mike Matthews Club Captian, Doug Lochead Friday Starter, or any member of the Match or Management Committee. Be very clear, neither of the Club travel groups are funded from the Club or these Competitions , and it is disapointing that such rumours have been circulated.

Looks like a great weekend coming up,

Good Golfing
