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
