Pennants Final, Our Handicap Division 5 team made the finals this year in their first year competing, but unfortunately fell to Napier 6 / 3 last Sunday. Attached are the Results from last Sunday.Interesting for the ten finals, the top seed took out five finals and second seed the remaining five .

Saturday 1st June / Sunday 2nd June. As you are all aware, we host the 48th Annual Sisters Club Tournament this weekend. The field size for Saturday is around 70. made up from Patea 18, Weedons 18, Rarangi 13 and ourselves 21, plus a few more playing Sunday being the Tournament Day. Great to have both Johnny and Frank Edwards playing Sunday. Frank travelled for many years to this Tournament, so good to have him in the field. Tee off 10.30am using tees 1,2,5,10,11,13,and 16. . The weekend programme commences with a Meet & Greet from 6pm onward s at the Merrylees Hotel tomorrow night. Saturday is practice day, followed by a meal at the Clubhouse, and a free night. Sunday again golf at 10.30am, fines session and meal at the Clubhouse, and then back to the Merrylees to dance the night away, with a band put on by the Hotel. It was our intention to put the weekend draws in tonight's What's On, but Stephen couldn't get his attachment email to leave his sent box, Draws for both days will be at the Merrylees tomorrow night

Tuesday June 4th . On Tuesday the Golf H B Eagles are coming to visit and play with our Seniors. Following Golf a presentation is to be made to R B Dailey, making him an Honorary Member of the H B Eagles Golfing Society. Anyone wishing to be at the Clubhouse for the Presentation, should be there before 2pm (approx) .

Well here we go again folks, another shocking weather forecast for the weekend, but as you know, when they predict bad weather it doesn't happen. Best wishes to all for your Golfing endeavors, being Sisters Club, Taumaranui Tournament, or the Onga Onga 27 Hole Tournament on Sunday. If travailing, travel safely,

Evening all,
Annual General Meeting, A good muster of members attended last Mondays AGM, where the business section flew through, with finances in good heart, and obviously members are more than happy with the course, as no one raised any negative issues regarding the Club or the Course. Recognition of service in the form of Life Memberships were bestowed on Helen Martin, Max Charmley and Ian McKenzie. Speaking to these members were Gail Borlase, John Mackay and Ken Barnett. All three new Life Members have been members of the Club since the 70s or 80s, and since joining have spent countless years on Committees, I congratulate Helen, Max and Ian on an outstanding effort A list of the 2020 committee is attached for your interest. (It may be headed 2019, but it is in fact the 2020 list)
The Match committee are working on the 2020 programme. We have some dates through from GHB but not all, and April is a difficult month to programme around as this year both Easter and Anzac weekends fall in that month. With Anzac Day on a Saturday, Monday becomes an observed day, so we have a 4 day and a 3 day weekend within two weeks of each other
Saturday 14th December: Christmas Cheer 12 noon Shot Gun Start, $20 Entry fee. The entry sheet has plenty of names on it, looks like a good field. Marcus & Glen are again running their Hagggle, food and drinks hole, so come along one and all and enjoy the day
2020:
Saturday January 11th Summer Cup Qualifying (top 32)
