Sisters Club;  King’s Birthday Weekend 1 and 2 June. Anyone wishing to play there is now a list in the foyer by the entrance to the Men’s Locker Room. The tournament shirt, a list is in the upstairs lounge, this weekend will be the last opportunity to order a shirt so if you haven’t already done so and want a shirt put your name down, the cost is $57.00.


We need help to run the tournament, if you have a spare couple of hours on the Saturday or Sunday please let me know. Remember the Club benefit from holding this tournament. Regards Stephen


Coronation Cup Zone Play; Our team was successful last weekend, winning Zone 3, to go onto the finals on May 25th and 26th. We completed team wins against Cape Turnagain, Porongahau, and Takapau to gain maximum six points. Five players went through the weekend undefeated, Zane Gregory, Eru Hauiti, Mark Arnold, Sean Edwards and myself.  We should also acknowledge the efforts of Johnny Edwards who played number 3 for his old club Cape Turnagain. Johnny also went through the weekend undefeated. Zone finalists are Wairoa, Te Pohue, Pongaroa and Dannevirke, with the finals in Zone 1, but as yet the venue has not been confirmed. A vote of thanks go to Captain Mike for running the office all weekend, Rainier Angela and Gillian for their efforts in the kitchen, along with Syd and other helpers. As a club we put on lunch Saturday, team members brought along an impressive array of food for an evening meal, plus Rainier, Gillian and Syd, cooked breakfast for our team Sunday morning. Thank you one and all. Great to see that our members can and will go the extra mile to provide meals similar to those received over the years at the country clubs. Great effort.  Thanks also to our bar staff Bazil, Stephen and Dipak, and anyone else who helped with the bar.   

 Although daylight saving has finished, I haven't had notice from Mike to change Saturday Club starting time to 11am, so this week we remain at 11.30am. Looking at the Championship sheets, matches are running well with some ahead of time. Please keep these matches going, and remember Semi finals are down for Saturday 4th May, and finals are definitely on Saturday 18th May. If the weather does interrupt this weekend, we have Saturday 20th and 27th, plus the afternoon of Anzac day to get matches up to date prior to Semi finals day. 


Good golfing folks. 👍
