Captain Mike; Just a quick message from your club captain. We are still having a few issues with the scanner for the card machine. There seems to be a lot of people that know how to fix this but actually they don't. In future if there is an issue please contact myself, Vaughan Hales or Gus Terry. Also with Pennants this Sunday, we have 5 teams but with the Covid Virus several players are out. Therefore I am asking for any players willing to step in to help these teams out for future games . If you can, then please see the starter on Saturday or flick me an e-mail.


PLEASE if you are feeling unwell at all even if it's only a sniffle, please refrain from going to golf. We need to look out for each other.


I am myself in isolation for the next week or so but you can always contact me in the usual manner. Moving forward please continue with the club champs. You do not have to wait until the next round to play these matches. With the covid threat the more matches played the better.

Thank you everyone Mike


Gus Terry;   We now have 2 confirmed cases of covid in the seniors. Please monitor your health closely, and if you should show any symptoms please get tested immediately. Apart from that maintain the usual requirements of hand washing regularly and observe social distancing and mask wearing where appropriate. Take Care Gus  We now have 2 confirmed cases of covid in the seniors with Ian Harrowfield testing positive this afternoon. Please monitor your health closely, and if you should show any symptoms please get tested immediately.


Apart from that maintain the usual requirements of hand washing regularly and observe social distancing and mask wearing where appropriate. Take Care Gus.


Sunday 27th March; Pongaroa 27 Hole Mens' Tournament. Round 1 Ruahine Rosebowl for 2022.


April 2-3. Coronation Cup Zone play Norsewood. In Mikes absence, can someone from the match committee put a sheet up in the foyer for those wanting to be considered for selection for this team.   

                

Good luck to all members participating in matches and Tournaments over the next week. Saturday club matches, Sunday Pennants, Five Course Classic and the North Island LVA.  As has been mentioned above, if you are off colour (excluding hang overs) please do the right thing and isolate yourself and advise your Pennant Captain. There will be no medals for spreading this disease. We have had to adjust the calendar before and it can be done again !


Good Golfing

Appreciate we have visitors and members using our carts, but any such behaviour will be dealt to by the Management Committee.

Kierane Given the amount of water we now have available, our greens are being well watered. Being softer than normal, please be aware of pitch marks on the Greens.
