Clubhouse;  Private Function. The club is hosting a private function, a birthday celebration, on Saturday 2 September. As a result the upstairs lounge will be closed on Friday and Saturday. Could golfers please use the downstairs facilities.  On Saturday 16 September we are hosting the Aotea Sports Club’s annual prize giving, as we’ve done for the past couple of years. The upstairs lounge will be closed on the Friday and Saturday. A reminder will be posted in the What’s on email on 14 September.  Thanks for your co operation.


Recycling;  We are about 90% there with our recycling efforts, but we are still creating a lot of work for Peter Greatbatch, who takes the bins into town . We are getting contaminated bins. Each bin holds one thing and one thing only. Cardboard, clear glass, brown glass or green glass. Nothing else. No food scraps, no bottle tops, no general rubbish. Bottle tops are easy, there is a rubbish bin in the bar for them, and there is a skip bin in the car park for for club house rubbish and food scraps.  Please lets keep it simple, so Peter can whip in, load the bins and take them to town without finding any free gifts. The bins are is under camera, so if need be, we will find the dumpers.

Lui Paewai Trophy; Congratulations to Rainier Davies for winning the Lui Paewai Trophy last Saturday. 46 stablefords if I remember correctly. Thanks Margaret for the photo. Tried to attach it but not sure I have been successful.


Best of luck to our members heading to Takapau. For those staying closer to home, head on out and enjoy the start of spring golf. The frosts this week will have helped dry the top of the course a bit. 


Good Golfing, 👍
