Evening all,
Saturday 18th July, Presidents Cup Round 1 Matchplay (Draw attached)Card draw at 11am for non participants.
Coronation Cup. Confirmation will come from Golf HB on Tuesday 21st July regarding Coronation Cup 2020. Our zone play will be the first on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August at Dannevirke, assuming we get the all clear
Number 7 Tee Block garden area. We have 3 men offered to sponsor a Rhodo for this area, so might run a couple of raffles Saturday for the remaining two.
Around the Course; The fence from the driveway, along the right of number 10 plus the length of number 11 is being replaced in the next week or so. Our thanks to James Walker & Roger Ransom for spending the day today, taking off battens and picking up fallen branches so the fencer can get going next week. Please be mindful if you are playing these two holes next week that there may be a fencer concentrating on his job and not watching your ball, so please watch out for him. Likewise if the old fence is down for a day before the new one is erected, you all know where the Out Of Bounds is, so please allow common sense to prevail. Call it a virtual fence! If you are in the paddock you are OB
Farm House; As you are aware, at the AGM in December 2019, permission was granted to the Management Committee to dispose of the house plus a small parcel of land on Tamaki River Road. Progress thus far. The exterior of the house has been painted, Chris Bone has completed the subdivision, and the plot will be fenced next week when the fence mentioned above is completed. Next the old Woolshed will be demolished. The lean too on the woolshed will be removed and reinstated at the greens staff tractor shed. The cattle yards will remain, but a new loading race will be built to keep trucks away from the house site. There is some remedial work required on the inside of the house before it goes to market, Watch this space for further updates.
Short and brief tonight. If you are playing Presidents Cup Saturday, good luck. If you are just having a round, enjoy,
Good Golfing
