Tuesday Women

This week we played Medley 7, a Nett competition on the Front 9. This was won by Marion Thompson with Cath Robinson second and Hilary Newby third. The weather was cool and sunny and the greens very fast. Plus was lovely to see two new faces join our group.  (Cheers Julie).

Wednesday Club

It was a beautiful day for the Stableford competition on Wednesday. Carts were back on and we had 19 participants start the competition. Terry McAlister was the clear winner on 40 points with Martin Leung second on 38 points. Balls were given down to 34 points. Martin found the green on the 4^th and was nearest the pin. Twos were absent for the second week in a row. Alex Lim won the raffle with Ian Bates second. The prizegiving ended with the now traditional round of chocolates: two each! (Cheers Patrick)

Clubhouse Staff Changes Coming...

In a few weeks, Cooper will relocate to Taupo. He's been an excellent addition to the staff and we'll all miss him. The Committee has approved replacing him with a part-time permanent role - as an Assistant/Weekend Manager. There are several reasons for this, with the most important being:

• Having a permanent (part-time) staff member responsible for running the Clubhouse operations on weekends (which are getting busier).
• Building resilience into Clubhouse staff - a 2IC capable of stepping into the managers role during absences (& thereby reducing the burden on committee members).
• Alleviates the Clubhouse Manager being on call 7 days per week (as is the case currently).

You'll soon see an advertisement calling for applicants. Please share with anyone you think may be suitable.
