 Evening all,


Saturday 9th March; 11.30am Round 1, Championship matchplay;  Duty; Match   Tim & Chalky    House. 

While Round 1 is listed for this Saturday,  round 2 is not until the 13th of April.  Senior and Intermediate B only have 16 in their field, so playing 8 matches by April 13th should not be an issue. For Intermediate A, and Junior A & B, having additional players, we need to play the first 2 rounds by April 13th. Please contact your opponent (not me) if you aren't going to be around this weekend, so they are aware they don't have a match. All the email addresses are above so not an onerous job. 


Sunday 10th March;  Round 2 GHB Pennant Competition,   Championship 1 and 3 are both at Maraenui, Handicap 2 at Waipukurau, and Handicap 4 at Waipawa.  Good luck


Sunday 10th March;  Norsewood 27 Hole Stroke play Tournament.  Round 1 of the 2024 Ruahine Rosebowl.  Start time 8am. Lunch and evening meal provided. Please if you can get up to Norsewood please do so, as its always good to support our Rosebowl Clubs. With 40 players out for Pennants and the LVA, we could be short on numbers, so if you can, please head to Norsewood
