Member Update – from Club Captain Doug Claridge

Weather is an unpredictable event, living in country of 4 seasons in one day, it has the ability to change plans. It creates robust debates due to its effects and leads to changes of programme. The programme for Men’s club champs qualifying has now evolved, it is 2 qualifying of 3 rounds. The last weekend of this month (31/08/2019) will now be a 3rd round of club champs. This allows those that did not play a chance to qualify with 2 rounds and make an even draw. At this point there are only enough players to have a full 8 in each grade. The Ladies programme will not be as advertised with a replacement FMS at the end of the month.

In looking into the crystal ball, I would like to see a full 16 in each grade. The format of the men’s club champs will also include a second side of the draw created from the first-round losers.

Finals day on the 19th October will be a busy day with a planned combined all Men’s and Ladies finals and barbeque to follow. With a Match play season, it is good time to get practice in playing against other golfers of similar ability.

Conditions for golf this weekend look good; the forecast is better than it has been for the last 3 Saturday’s, the greens are true and a putt downhill will be an interesting test of pace and line. Those with pollen allergies beware of the kowhai in flower, as well other trees.

No results; of the 44 who played Saturday 41 posted a club champs qualifying score after examining the rain radar.

The Woodward team continued to have a good start with a win last weekend. The Blank and the Pollock teams are competitive in their grades.

Best of luck golfing this weekend.

Pollock Cup secure a good half – from Anne Dick

We were up against it again on Sunday against Waitikiri with all players except one playing those on much lower handicaps. The Harewood fighting spirit was in full force with many close matches. Rachel Eder had another good win against Ginny Bolderston at #3 and Lynn Brand at #5 defeated Chris Marple. Catherine Knight secured the team half with a 1up win over Naomi Wallace at #1 - her first victory in 3 years - now for many more :) So close to pulling off an upset, but unfortunately Anne Dick and Pam McTaggart both lost 1 down against Danielle Price and Lynley Watts. Debbie Scott also fought hard and pushed Canterbury representative Kim Maggoch to play her best in another close battle. Again a big thanks to the caddies for their support and encouragement (Norm McTaggart, Liz Warren, Judith Blyth, Cheryl Kemp, John Brand, Helen Burne) and to our manager Kath Sullivan.

This weekend we tee up against Pegasus at Weedons off number 10 at 9.30 in what is likely to be another closely fought competition.


Blank Team update – from Phil Barlow team manager

Round 1 for the Blank team was a bye, so the weekend that has just past was the first outing.

For the first half of the round, Harewood was just on top of Christchurch in most games. Coming off a draw with multiple winners Russley the previous week, they were keen for a win. With it being a home game, we knew we had a chance, but as the last couple of games came in it was clear we were going to just miss out going down 3 ½ to 4 ½ at the wire. A shame, but there were a couple of very strong wins in the 3 ½ that we secured.

This coming weekend is against Templeton at Pegasus at 11:30 on Sunday, so come and have a walk with the guys if you can make it.


Fed Shaw – Life Member

Our flags are at half mast again this week as sadly, Fred Shaw has passed away, only a few weeks after Marie. Further recognition to Fred’s contribution to the club will follow in next weeks publication.


Neville - On the way back

Neville is recovering well and even made a trip to the club yesterday, now that he is able to drive again. It was great to see him fit and chirpy and sitting in his managers chair again (once he wrestled Andrew out of it !!).

Neville will be starting back at work on Monday 2nd September at which point, I will be away for a 2 month holiday!


On-Line Tee Booking

We are in training mode on this next week in the pro shop with Craig and Carl. We will lock in a start date during this process and I will relay this to you in the next publication.
