Saturday August 13th: 11am Card draw, Lui Paewai Trophy (Best stableford score on the day). This is one trophy every member wants to get their name engraved on. Bring your A game!


SHB 27 Hole Strokeplay last weekend; Congratulations Amrit Prasad, the 2022 SHB strokeplay champion. A field of 54 played in brilliant conditions, on a course which was again very well presented by our staff Kierane and AG. The wind had dried things out for the course to be groomed as well as our staff would have liked.  Pin placements were testing, thus only two twos for the entire day. Thanks must go to Captain Mike for his organisation, and his dear wife Barbara and helpers who ran the kitchen all day. Thanks also to our match committee members who couldn't play, (Zane and Chalky) so gave their time too clubhouse and kitchen duties. Thanks Peter Gregory, for inviting guests from Wellington and Taumaranui, Our team in the Ruahine Rosebowl took honors on the day, collecting the 5 point win. (the final round being at Takapau 30 Hole tournament on Saturday 3rd September) . Great to have our Rosebowl club members from Pongaroa, Cape Turn Again and Takapau on our course for the day .


Seniors;   For those not going to Waipukurau on Tuesday, there will be an organised competition here starting at 10.00am. Cheers Gus

With close to 100mm rain this week, conditions under foot could be a bit soft. There could be a couple of frosts over the weekend, so please don't play too early on frosty greens, or you just might get a frosty reception for the greens staff.
