Management Committee Meeting 18th May;
The meeting was advised of the passing of Alex McLean (Harpo) . Our thoughts go out to Robyn, Cheryl, Jill and family. Memories will be accompanied by smiles.
Two Grants have been received. $8000 for May wages from Mainland Trust, and $4275 from Aotearoa Gaming Trust, for repairs required on the flat roof above the shop and foyer.
A vote of thanks goes to the Seniors who assisted with duties when the H B Eagles hosted the triangular on Wednesday 4th May. A field of close to 90 was welcomed to Dannevirke by V P Peter Greatbatch. Compliments on the state of the course were forth coming, so again thank you to our staff for their efforts and pride in what they do.
We recently hosted a green keepers tournament, resulting in more favourable comments for our staff.
Left side of number 2 green. This area is to become a mound bunker similar to number 5 and 10. Work is required to rake the soil to remove large stones, so the area can be sown and mowed in the future. Any member willing to spend some time raking and removing stones, please let the staff know prior, so a trailer can be made available for loading stones.
House Sale; The 2020 AGM, gave the Management Committee, permission to sell the clubs house of Tamaki River Road. We are now in a position to move towards marketing the property in the not to distance future. What's On will keep any interested members up to date, with marketing details, if a project property, is something that appeals to you .
Card machine; Our internet has been upgraded, and our provider is now Inspire.net from Palmerston North. When time permits, wiring will be run to where the card machine will be positioned, giving access from the foyer
The forecast doesn't look that flash for the week end, but if the opportunity arises, head on out for a game. Good golfing, and good luck to those playing matches.
