What's On 17 February 2023

Bryan Burt - Clube scribe • February 16, 2023

Saturday 18th February; Summer Cup Round 3 match play. All round one and hopefully most round 2 games should be complete by now. It has been a member complaint that this competition drags on too long each year. Members not committee members have to play these matches, so please get them played, so we for once can have the finals on the correct date


Saturday 25th February;  Marae Tournament, 11am shot gun start


Sunday 26th; Golf HB Round 1 Pennants; Preliminary notice that this is the scheduled date for this competition to start. However, common sense would suggest this will be reviewed given the situation on many of the GHB courses.  We currently have 3 teams in this years competition. Championship1, plus Handicap 2 and 4.


Sunday 5th March; Norsewood 27 hole strokeplay tournament. Round 1 Ruahine Rosebowl competition.  For various reasons Norsewood have not participated in this competition since the beginning of Covid. That being said, they now wish to come back, with the support of the other 4 clubs. These are great tournaments, meeting up with golfers from Pongaroa, Cape Turnagain, Takapau, Dannevirke and Norsewood. We encourage members to go along and support these country clubs, who in turn will support our August tournament. Should you have any questions regarding these events, contact Captain Mike, President Tony , or any Match committee members, because these guys have all been long time supporters of these tournaments. 


While I can't speak for them, photos from Napier , Maraenui, Wairoa , Waipukurau and Waipawa golf clubs would suggest there is a great deal of work to be done to get these courses back to playing condition. We also have to acknowledge, where sport fits in when homes and livelihoods have been wiped out.  Our own course has come through safely, and this time round we can be thankful.


I will keep members informed of GHB official information as it comes to hand, but in the mean time if weather permits this week end, come on out and have a game of golf to refresh the mind, and mix and mingle with other members for the good of your mental health.


Good Golfing
