I am looking for 5-6 people to help Swampy and myself around the clubhouse, work includes water blasting, cleaning, weed eating and a clean up of the rubbish holding area and washdown bay, again 8 am start for Monday and Tuesday.

Please let us know by Friday 30^th August, morning tee is provided.

9 Hole Ladies
Yvonne Hoskins

This week in brilliant, sunny weather we played nett, putting and LGU. There were some very good scores (nice to have plenty of "run" at this time of year). Winners on the day were - Irene Hallam; Daisy Harrison; Rohanne Hancock; Jan Annabel; Jacqui Crossfield; Trish Frecklington; Debbie Hardaker; Astrid Martin and Lyn Bird. Well done ladies.

Last Monday the final round of nine hole interclub was held at Omokoroa. The weather left a bit to be desired - extremely windy, but no rain. The winner for 2024 was Te Puke.

Good golfing everyone.......

Quads Results
On Monday a hardy team of 23 players played in extremely windy conditions at Omanu. The team finished a close fourth to Mt Maunganui with most players in all the teams competing struggling to score more than 30 points. Congratulations to Ian Hawke and David Ashton who were the top players in our team, both scoring 32 points. The final quads event for the year is at Omokoroa on the 7^th October and with home advantage hopefully we can climb up the Leaderboard.
