Volle Golf Ball Launch
I am pleased to announce, due to popular demand, we now have the NZ brand Volle golf balls in stock in the shop! 

This is a kiwi company taking on the big boys, and they have produced a premium product for an excellent price.  We also have their tees which are made from recycled coffee grounds!  Biodegradable and sustainable!  Check out their website for more information https://volle.golf/

They also have some awesome golf shoes which are perfect for summer.  We have samples in the shop, and can order any size you like for either women or men.

As a special promotion we are giving away a pair of these awesome shoes.  For every sleeve of Volle balls you purchase, you get one entry into the draw.

Kieran Muir Update
Unfortunately, Kieran was unable to progress to the next stage of the Q School in Bristol.  Kieran has only been back playing full-time for a few months, and is pleased with his progress so far this year.  His next events are the local Charles Tour events at the Mount and Tauranga in the coming weeks.

All Blacks Breakfast
The Rugby World Cup kicks off tomorrow with our ABs taking on France in the opener.  The footy will be live at the club, and Brittany will be here selling delicious Breakfast Burgers - two rashers of bacon, egg, hash brown, cheese, sauce and tomato relish for only $15.  The club will open at 7am, and breakfast will be served throughout the match.

9 Hole Ladies
Astrid Martin

Firstly, we would like to thank our interclub team participants for their efforts this year, Omokoroa finished 3rd out of 9 clubs. The scoring was quite close, and our gratitude goes to Robyn King, Margaret Griffiths, Astrid Martin, Mary Jane Leuch, Janet Burminister and Dianne Mahoney for playing and also a big thankyou to Rohanne Hancock for organising the players throughout the year.

Next Monday Robyn King and Astrid Martin head to Whakatane to represent our club in the Dorothy Garland tournament, we wish them all the best.

This week we had a fun day, teams of four each had one "Pink Ball" and one player had to play with the ball and record their stableford score. Two holes each and the last was a lucky dip. If the pink ball was lost during play, that meant automatic disqualification!

Three of the five teams handed in cards and the winner were:

The Stinky Perky Pinkies with 19 stableford points
Robyn King, Lyn Harrison, Cheryl Bowie & Daisy Harrison

2nd
The Pink Ladies on 18 points
Debbie Hardacker, Rohanne Hancock, Diana O'Brien & Trish Fecklington

Well played ladies.

Keep smiling, and remember "Happiness is like a bank account. The more you deposit into it, the more you can take out!"

Happy golfing everyone.

Thursday 7th September - Canadian Foursomes

A small group of 24 players joined up for a fun game of Canadian Foursomes.

The course was damp and the greens were still showing the after effects of last week’s coring programme

I think we all got our heads around the rules and managed some reasonable results.

The foursomes played in pairs and handicaps for each pair were combined for a net handicap.

Haggle winners were:

Lawson Stewart and Vic Sterling                 Net 36
Kevin Bowick and Blair Francis                    Net 36.5
Bruce Blair and Horton Schofield                Net 38

Raffle Prizes went to:

Horton Schofield
Dianne Mahoney
Lawson Stuart

The Lucky Dip was won by Brett Dixon. 

Next wee, 14th September we play Round 6 of our 9 Hole Stroke Play Championship.

RESULTS – Wednesday

What was supposed to be qualifying day for Western Tray was overtaken by weather conditions and has been deferred until 20th September, which is also referred to a bit further in this update.

A small field braved the elements and the course conditions and scoring apart from one individual reflected those conditions. The winner and having just returned from a few weeks in Oz:

John Holloway         41 points

He arrived back sporting the traditional Akubra Ozzie Stock hat and initially it appeared we had been joined by a well known Oz celebrity – a dead ringer as shown below. Maybe Crocodile Dundee has weathered slightly better.

What a wonderful job Hayden Nganeko does with the juniors every Thursday, lots of potential new members, and so good to see the children with happy smiles and support from mums and dads. Thanks Hayden.

I don’t know if any members visited the Settler Hall history group display on Saturday.  Very informative few hours, lots of family members describing the early days on the peninsular.  Omokoroa Golf Club display was well received. 

One flag pole completed, both should be finished for next Monday.

Happy golfing – Summer is on it’s way.
