Cape Turnagain 27 Hole Strokeplay Tournament (Round 2 Ruahine Rosebowl) 8.30 tee off
Today we had a good field tee off just after noon, competing for the Waitahora Cup plus men v ladies. Waitahora Cup was taken out by Mike Matthews, and the men won the challenge with the ladies. Four ladies competed, and scored very well, but the shear numbers assisted the men.
Management Committee,
from the last Meeting I can inform the Club that we have received $20,000 from Pub Charity for the replacement of our Roughs mower. Brian & Kieran have trialled a couple of units, so we should see the new mower out there shortly. The ladies had completed two rounds of pennants with a 4.5 to 3.5 win over Hastings and a 6 to 2 win over Combined.
Maria Adams: Maria has made it known to members of the Committee that she wishes to retire from her current position. She has an ankle injury that requires attention, plus her grand daughters are getting jobs now and are unable to assist her on large day. Currently Maria is there 4 days a week Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, between 11am and finishes up between 2 and 3 pm. Maria is great with our campers, as she speaks more than one language, so is great welcoming person for our international guests. If we have anyone out there who would be interested in taking on this role, or asking questions regarding the role, please contact either Stephen Paewai or Tony Peeti.
Best of luck to those playing Championship and plate rounds on Saturday, and to all playing Pennants on Sunday.
Good Golfing
