Drum has just informed me that the Takapau Marae Tournament has been cancelled this Saturday
Saturday 25th January 2020. Summer Cup Round 1 matchplay. Five matches were completed last Saturday leaving nine to go. Please advise the starter if you have a match.
Match Committee: Captain Mike has requested a brief Committee meeting Saturday at 10.30am
Management Committee meeting 22/1/2020
1 Trundler Shed Door; It appears people are entering the numbers too quickly, and not allowing the electronic latch to do its thing. Before entering numbers, check that the door is actually locked, then enter the numbers s-l-o-w-l-y. Less speed more haste!
2 N Z M C A Tournament. Mike outlined progress on this tournament. As mentioned previously, it is a Taraura District Council sponsored Tournament, to encourage motor caravan association members to visit our District. This year Dannevirke host the event on Friday 14th February, then on Saturday they play Pahiatua. More details to follow
3 Pot Holes, Gail will be pleased to see the pot holes have been repaired by Tararua Alliance. We also discussed the wear and tear at the front gate caused by Trucks turning there. Some remedial work is required here.
4 Green Fees. With summer now upon us, we are seeing more people on our Course. If in doubt be polite and check that they have paid green fees, or be helpful around the Club house to assist visitors find cards and the green fee box.
5 Call Minder; With Maria's retirement, we received concerns that the phone was going unanswered. We have installed telecom Call Minder, so will monitor this to see if suitable.
6 Downstairs bar area. We believe there is an appetite to do something with the area downstairs. With more bookings happening, we need an area to have a beer after golf when the lounge is booked. A proposal is being taken to the next meeting on 19th February. Watch this space.
7 The wish list is being revisited to see what funding applications we will be seeking this coming year. . Input is also being sought from the Greens Staff,
8 Do you have a new address or email? If so please advise Miranda on dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz, so she can keep our records up to date.
That's it for tonight folks. I have written this twice, because at about this point the first copy disappeared from my screen. I'm out of here before it happens again
Good Golfing,
