Evening all, Saturday 4th May; Club Champs semi Finals, 11.30am card draw for balance of field. Match Committee duty Timmy House Committee Stephen Golf Hawkes Bay Pennants; Competition for this year wound up last week after five rounds. The top two teams from each division now play finals. Unfortunately we don't have any teams in the finals this year, but after five round Champ Division 1 finished 5th, Champ 3 finished 6th, and Handicap 2 & 4 both finished 3rd. Thanks to all players and team organizers who have made themselves available this year. Pennats offers both experience in match play, plus a chance to play other GHB courses. Wiffin Cup; The draw is attached, with first round games to be played on or before Sat 13th May, Round 2 is Saturday 17th June. Ample time to contact your opponent and get these matches played please. Sister Clubs; One month to go and we’ll have 70 visitors from our 3 Sister Clubs contesting the 52 nd playing of the Sister Club Quadrangular Tournament. If you want to play, put your name on the list in the foyer. Also, we need assistance to run the tournament. If you are able to help and have a spare couple of hours either on Saturday 1 June or Sunday 2 June please contact Stephen Paewai. We may need at up to 40 trundlers, this will make it easier for our visitors rather than having their vans cluttered with an assortment of trundlers. Regards Stephen. Driveway; The excess chip has now been swept, and picked up. Two speed bumps have been added, one about 50 meters inside the gate, and the other at the entry to the car park. Speed restrictions continue to apply. The predicted rain was minimal (4mm in town) so there may still be some summer run out there. Come on out and enjoy it while it lasts.
