Saturday 13th July; Presidents Cup Round 2 Matchplay 11am Card Draw

Saturday 3rd August. 27 Hole SHB Strokeplay Tournament (Ruahine Rosebowl Round 3)

This is the major men's Tournament on our calendar, so please keep this day free, and join us. As has become tradition over the past couple of years, please bring a plate for a shared dinner. Our way of thanking our Country Clubs for the way they host us at their Tournaments.


Weekend Catering: Joy Raffaelli (High School Caterer) plus the cater for our recent Sisters Club Weekend, is bringing out sandwiches and burgers on Saturday and Sunday. The food will be in the unmanned shop, and is being sold on an honesty basis. Joy is keen to pursue opportunities with the Club so please support her.


Just spent two weeks on a Vietnam & Thailand Golf Tour hosted by Andrew Henare NZPGA Golf Professional at Napier Golf Club. The tour was a combination of sight seeing, culture and six rounds of golf, three in each country. The courses were spectacular. In Vietnam ( Hoi An) out from Danang, we played Montgomery Links, Ba Na Hills and Danang Golf Club, and in Thailand south of Bangkok, we played Banyan Golf Club, Black Mountain and Alpine Golf Club. Spectacular but difficult to play was Ba Na Hills in Vietnam, this course is set up with lights for night golf In Thailand Black Mountain had the most impressive stone work around all their water, which was either across or beside every hole, and Alpine Golf Club was a little easier to play. Andrew intends to take this tour annually, with advertising for next years trip starting shortly. We had 13 golfers, I believe Andrew would like to have a party of 16 golfers. We had a travel guide in each country that helped us navigate the markets, food stalls and night life. A great trip that I would recommend if these two countries are on your bucket list, and very inexpensive.


That's it folk, getting back to NZ winter temperatures versus the 32 - 39 of the past two weeks.


Good Golfing

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,
