Saturday 22nd June 11am Card Draw, Sattrup & Brannigan early matches. A reminder that the early matches are the 7 matches required to be played to make the final 16. These were listed in last weeks What's On, so please try and get these played before Saturday 6th July

Sunday 23rd June. POSTPONEMENT Norsewood Golf Club 27 hole Rosebowl Tournament. The Norsewood Club have advised they have postponed their Tournament until early spring because of on course issues. New date to be advised in due course. Don't forget our own 27 Hole Tournament is set down for Saturday August 3rd.

Greenwood Cup; An update on our unfortunate situation. As was mentioned a week or two back, the Greenwood Cup has been rescheduled because date clashes which are out of our control. Second to that, the new dates of Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October presented us with another issue. That being the Club is booked for a wedding on Saturday 5th. The wedding is taking place on the course late afternoon, which could have been accommodated had it been a Club day, but not with 80 players on the Course. Presenting our dilemma to GHB Match Committee, the decision has been made to swap the first three round with the 2020 hosts Waipukurau. Please accept that Club hireage is part of our business, and the booking would not have been made on a Greenwood weekend, except when that date changes as is the case this year.

One other matter regarding Greenwood, Takapau Golf Club are challenging the new Central Hawkes Bay Team to the 8th position. Remember Waipukurau ceased after last years Greenwood to replaced by CHB, with players drawn from Waipukurau, Waipawa and Porongahau. Challenge date is Sunday July 28th at HB Golf Club.

Wiffin Cup. I beleive we finished with about 30 qualifying, so Timmy Bell has produced the draw. No concerns though, the first round of Match play is not until Saturday 27th July.

Thats it folk, not to much to report tonight. What's On is taking a break for two weeks, so no need to check your emails for the next two weeks

Good Golfing

Latest news from the club

Evening all,
Annual General Meeting, A good muster of members attended last Mondays AGM, where the business section flew through, with finances in good heart, and obviously members are more than happy with the course, as no one raised any negative issues regarding the Club or the Course. Recognition of service in the form of Life Memberships were bestowed on Helen Martin, Max Charmley and Ian McKenzie. Speaking to these members were Gail Borlase, John Mackay and Ken Barnett. All three new Life Members have been members of the Club since the 70s or 80s, and since joining have spent countless years on Committees, I congratulate Helen, Max and Ian on an outstanding effort A list of the 2020 committee is attached for your interest. (It may be headed 2019, but it is in fact the 2020 list)
The Match committee are working on the 2020 programme. We have some dates through from GHB but not all, and April is a difficult month to programme around as this year both Easter and Anzac weekends fall in that month. With Anzac Day on a Saturday, Monday becomes an observed day, so we have a 4 day and a 3 day weekend within two weeks of each other
Saturday 14th December: Christmas Cheer 12 noon Shot Gun Start, $20 Entry fee. The entry sheet has plenty of names on it, looks like a good field. Marcus & Glen are again running their Hagggle, food and drinks hole, so come along one and all and enjoy the day
2020:
Saturday January 11th Summer Cup Qualifying (top 32)
Christmas Message. Wishing all members a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. If you are travelling, please do so safely. Enjoy your time with family and friends. If time allows, hit the fairways
Good Golfing,
Merry Christmas,
