Saturday 5th September 11am Card Draw Kitt Kerr Hape Simpson Foursomes
Obituary; The sudden death on Monday of Member, and Match Committee member Willie Veitch has been a shock to us all. On behalf of the Club our thoughts go out to Willies Whanau friends and work mates at Alliance.
GOLF HB Association AGM, The meeting was able to go ahead tonight, after a rocky start created by one Club President / Lawyer. After he was shut down, we managed to get through the Agenda, Constitution changes were voted on and passed. The biggest issue being that we have 27 Club making up the Association, and a Quarum requires 10 member clubs to be represented, which unfortunately didn't happen last time. Coronation Cup Update, Two Zones have now completed their Zone plays with two more to do so. Unfortunately for one of the northern zones only Wairoa and Puketitri, so play they will and one of those two Clubs will be in the finals to be played at Dannevirke in late November. Greenwood Cup is still on track with the first three rounds in Dannevirke on October 17-18.
We are continuing on with the foursomes on Saturday, because with level 2 restrictions, not everyone who would like to attend Willies funeral can. No disrespect to Willie but gatherings are restricted, and with family and work mates all wanting to farewell him, we will allow them to do so . Willie is at home with his family in Burn Street for any members wishing to pay their respects.
A sad week for the Club,. Please support our members who are feeling the loss of a great guy, mate, work mate, golfer.
Good Golfing
