Club Championships; These were scheduled to commence this Saturday, but unfortunately Captain Mike has had a hectic couple of weeks with work, so simply has not had time to do the draw. For our new members with handicaps. We run our championships on an all in basis, meaning starting with the lowest handicap index, groups of 16 are drawn to make up Senior, Intermediate, and Junior grades. We ask, If you do not want to be in the draw, please phone, text or email Captain Mike to be removed. Email Mike Matthews <mikematthews058@gmail.com>, or phone / text him on 021 402043. Championships run from the first day, now 11th March, Round 2, on 8th April, Semi finals 6th May, and finals day Saturday 27th May


Saturday 4th March;  Card draw for 11.30am Tee off.   Please arrive before 11.15, to assist the starters getting the groups made up and off at 11.30am


Sunday 5th March; Norsewood Golf Club 27 Hole Strokeplay Tournament. Also Round 1 of the 2023 Ruahine Rosebowl Tournaments. Entries in by 8am, Tee off 8.30am. Entry fee $35.00 includes lunch and a light meal after golf. Please bring cash, as Norsewood do not have eft-pos available. . We require a team of at least 4 players to attend, with three scores counting, so the more that can attend the better please.


What's On; tonight I have added 29 new members to the list of people receiving What's On every Thursday. The purpose of What's On is to inform members what is happening at your club, plus some results etc from previous events. If you don't want to receive this email please reply to sender (not all) to have your name removed.


Marae Tournament; 

Thanks to those that supported the tournament on Saturday, numbers were down on previous years due to the forecast weather, although the rain didn’t come till the last hole for a couple of unfortunate groups. Also we didn’t get the numbers from the Bay that normally support the event for obvious reasons. Despite this thanks to the generosity of players and sponsors it was a financially successful day.

 

Special thanks to the Dannevirke Golf Club, the Greens staff and all those that supported the tournament.

 

The scoring wasn’t spectacular, despite very good playing conditions.
