We are certainly into Summer conditions at the moment. Look at last Saturdays scoring Senior, David Hurrell 41 stb, Craig Evans 40, Willie Veitch 38, Junior Norm Evans 45, Fraancis De Schweitzer 42, Warren Ridge, M B Lilo, and Trevor De laharpe all on 41. For the rest of us scoring between 37 and 40, good work, you are getting a new handicap.

Contributions:
Ladies; Glenys Nicol Ladies Captain,
The ladies have been refurbishing their locker room. Nice and bright and light. Gone is the “hospital green”, in with the” inspirational cream” It is looking great even if it is the wrong colour. Thanks to everyone for their help. Still a work in progress to replace notice boards etc. All welcome to check it out.
At our ladies AGM we have decided this year to trial, combine with the men and have our club champ finals day on the 23rd May. Reason being to return to a “big club day.” So qualifying rounds, quarter and semi finals are scheduled to be completed before that date. Please refer to your program. The men reported better weather and course conditions last year, so hopefully that will continue.
We have also made an executive decision to not proceed with our tournament on 19th March. New World were approached for sponsorship again this year and their response was they would sooner sponsor the club as a whole. Ie Flags. We haven’t persued other sponsors this year. Maybe next year for that.
NZMCA tournament 14th March. Should be a good fundraiser for the club. They, camp, play golf, and the club provide a meal (BBQ) before moving on to Pahiatua on Saturday. Could we have some ladies help with cards on that day please.
Happy, happy golfing. The course is amazing. Glenys
Seniors Gus Terry,

Hire of the Club Lounge
We have 2 weddings booked for February. On Friday 21 February we have a wedding reception for Hamish Prenter and on Saturday 29 February Adam Webster is getting married at the Golf Club. I’ll send out a reminder closer to the time but it does mean the upstairs lounge is not available for a couple of days. These are the only 2 confirmed bookings I have for 2020.
Waitangi Day
On Thursday 6 February there will be a Sister’s Club tournament, tee off 11.00 am, $10.00, Sister’s Club members to bring a prize please.
This year the Sister’s Club tournament is to be hosted by the Rarangi Club in Blenhiem on 30 and 31 May and we are considering playing a couple of other courses in the Malborough area either prior to or following the tournament. So we are trying to raise extra money to keep costs to a minimum thus encouraging as many as possible to make the trip.
Marae tournament
Saturday 22 February is the annual marae tournamet. 11.00 am start $30 entry with great prizes and great food all day. Names on the board please or contact Stephen.
Thanks

Appreciate we have visitors and members using our carts, but any such behaviour will be dealt to by the Management Committee.

The role was advertised before Christmas, and so it is good to welcome Liam Making to our Club. Great to have you on board, and all the best for the next few years, gaining a qualification. Kierane Given the amount of water we now have available, our greens are being well watered. Being softer than normal, please be aware of pitch marks on the Greens.
