Club Captain Update – from Doug Claridge

We are well in to Autumn, and that brings with it a change of ground conditions and playing of the last week has highlighted to me the importance of course care. The course has been busy in the last 2 weeks with the U19 /U16 boys inter-provincial, and an increased number of green fee players over Easter consequently there has been an increase of divots not replaced or filled in. It is imperative that as members we set the example by carrying a sand bucket, replace divots and fill them. If you carry your clubs, it is not an excuse not to at least replace your divot and use one of your playing partners sand buckets to fill them in. The greens have softened, any ball will leave a pitch mark, so please repair you pitch mark especially at the front fringe of the green. The best way for our course to stay in great condition is for the playing members to care for it; this helps Colin and his greens staff to maintain the course in its great condition and maintain our enjoyment of it.

The Saturday programme is busy for the next few weeks. The Harewood 4 ball best ball competition is nearing to a close. It’s quarter final time for the men this weekend, with semi-finals programmed to be played on the 11th of May for Ladies and Men. The first weekend of May is the Monthly Medal for men, and 36-hole Nancy McCormack foursomes for women. The shootout competition continues with 21 players posting 6 rounds, with the leaders Mike Stanley and Harvey Teulon in front on 228. There are plenty of rounds to play for the leader board to change before finals day on the 10th of November.

The 13th hole par 3 is a tough hole, for most of us a par is a good result. Iain Findlater walked away with a hole in one on Easter Monday – well done Iain. The Easter Mixed Multi Tee shotgun had a smaller field than normal – 71 players. The weather was the best we had all Easter break, with great conditions for golf. Matt McLean had a good day shooting 66 off the stick with 6 birdies in his round.

Bereavement – Allan Bilbrough

It is with much sadness that we advise of Allan’s passing on April 21st, aged 83.

Allan was a Harewood member for just over 50 years and had a number of roles at the Club in that time, being on the Executive Committee for 10 years from 1985 to 1995 before being elected Club President during 1995 – 1996.
 
Our condolences go to Allan’s family and friends, with a number of our Midweek Men in attendance at the Service from 2pm today (Friday 26th) at Lamb & Hayward’s Westpark Chapel.

Eagles Raffle 2019 - Saturday May 4th
from Les Scott

It’s that time again!!

As the highest seller of tickets we have not had too much joy with results, so 2019 could be Harewood’s year. We certainly deserve a few decent prizes!

We will open at 7.30 am for all players. Tickets will be sold in the Pro Shop as usual.

A reminder; tickets $2 -

5 tickets $10, and a Srixon ball

10 tickets $20, and a sleeve of Srixon balls (excellent value)

This year, Debbie Scott and Gary Charmley will be assisting, as we have run out of Eagles through retirement and attrition. Thank you both for your generous assistance. Mike Stanley and Les Scott take over at 10.00am to complete the job. Thank you Mike for your continued support of this event.

Your generous assistance in making this event a great success is really appreciated by the Eagles organisation and of course, Junior Golf throughout New Zealand.

Best of luck for someone to win a new set of clubs!

Thank you

Matt McLean Fundraising Tournament
Friday May 3rd

The upcoming Peninsular Beachfront Resort Golf Tournament, supporting Matt McLean is progressing extremely well, and with 30 teams already entered we have virtually a full field. We have also received an amazing response to our various requests for golf prizes, raffle items and of course the auction items, and you can win (or buy via raffles and auctions) items such as:

Golf bags

Golf clubs (Wedges)

Golf balls and umbrellas

Golf Trundler

Various items of clothing, such as FJ tops, Puffer jackets, Hoodies

Accommodation in Australia (with travel assistance) and Tekapo

Various vouchers, such as Mitre 10, Bunnings, Peter Timms Meats, Proshop, Heatpump Service Vouchers, Show tickets, Go Kart Experience

Rounds of golf for 4 on 10 Courses throughout New Zealand

Wine and Spirits

A bar fridge

Plus more…..

The list goes on and on, I’m sure there will be something to suit everyone, plus, Kostas is providing a great buffet meal following the golf, and a number of people that are unable to play are attending the meal, so we anticipate we will have a very full clubhouse.

Any questions, please feel free to call me, and hope to see as many of you as possible on the 3rd.

Regards
