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
