The Opening Day (Sponsored by Past President’s) has been run and won with mother & son team Zelda & Rangi Meads coming out on top. All had a good time with 92 players in the field and 60+ in the clubhouse afterwards for presentations and dinner. Dave Lamont had the honour of hitting the 1st ball of the season for his tireless work around the club with the involvement in the Teachers competition and the introduction of new members to the club.
Our next Gold Letter event coming up is the Centenary Cup – 36 holes of Stroke, sponsored by Readyforce Personnel, this event is less than 2 weeks away, so get your entry in early as spots are filling fast.
With Easter fast approaching (and the Gold Letter Easter Cup) and the season officially open and cricket season done and dusted it is time to get back onto our wonderful golf course for a game or 2.
