Saturday 17th August Lui Paewai Trophy 11am Card Draw Tee Off. Zane Gregory defending his title from 2018
Saturday 24th August. Wiffin Cup Round 2 Matches
Saturday 31st August. Takapau 30 Hole Strokeplay Tournament. (Rosebowl) 8am Start, 7.30am Cup Of Tea. All day Gross & Nett, Afternoon Stableford. Senior and Junior men's groups plus ladies. $30 includes lunch.
Eagles Visit, Last weekend I joined Shaun Morgans, Gavin Cook, Max Charmley & Stephen Prenter for a trip to Mahia. We went onto Gisbourne and played Poverty Bay Saturday, then combined with the Mahia members and a handful of Poverty Bay Eagles plus a large contingent of HB Eagles members for a round at Mahia on Sunday. Great golfing conditions, and for those looking for a new experience, I recommend the 9 hole Mahia Links Course. Rewarding for the straight hitters and punishing for the errant, greens are in very good order and the layout is challenging. Highly recommend. Stephen is obviously getting far to much practice now he is retired, taking out top spot at Poverty Bay, and claiming overall winner over two days, although that was not actually a competition.
Good luck to all having a go at getting their name on the Lui Paewai Trophy. 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,
