                     Regular players will be deemed available again, unless you state otherwise.

 

Greens staff.   Thankyou Kierane & Anthony (AG) for the presentation of our course over the holiday period. With the rain we have had, the course is looking immaculate. With several visitors around, they should be leaving feeling they have played a great course, and hopefully will spread a positive word about us

 

Cancer Society Longest Day Fundraiser. Congratulations to Caleb Shuker and Chris Stuart, for completing the Longest Day Challenge (72 holes golf in one day) on December 19th. More than 5000 golfers signed up to participate this year across New Zealand. The boys started at 5.30am and finished at 6.30pm, after walking and playing four rounds on our course,. Before taking part in the challenge, Caleb & Chris had raised around $1300 from family friends and workmates. At completion this amount had risen to around $3,500.  A very thoughtful gesture by two twenty year olds, making an effort to complete the challenge, and in doing so raising funds for the Cancer Society.  A brilliant effort and result.

 

So here we are 2021. Not sure where the world is heading with Covid 19, but lets hope we stay free of it in New Zealand, and can continue to enjoy the freedoms we have currently.

 

Good Golfing to you all
