9H Ladies

The Ladies played an ISTAS completion on Tuesday with Jane Campbell being the winner with 30 points. 9 of us played in the competition but it was nice to see 3 “learner” golfers out there too. The weather was perfect with no wind and warm, but the greens were very fast. (Cheers Kath)

Wednesday Club

We had beautiful weather for the competition on Wednesday. Carts were allowed and 20 golfers participated in the Stableford competition. The winner was Perry Florance on 37 points (in his first appearance for some years) from Jim Waters on count back. Balls were given down to 32 points. Patrick Cordue was nearest the pin on the 4^th and had the only two of the day on the 13^th. Luke Underwood won the raffle with Patrick second. Everyone had a free chocolate. (Cheers Patrick)

Calling All Volunteers

Thanks to those who cleared the debris on the 4th tee block last week - this will allow a lot more light in to promote grass growth. Also, a massive shout out to Tony Hewitt for making over 100 x tee markers for the Club. Keep an eye out for the new blue tee markers.

There's still plenty of remediation/tidying up work required around the course which a hearty group of volunteers tend to each Tuesday. If you have the time please contact president@karorigolf.co.nz and he will add you to the list of volunteers. Details for volunteer days are:

Day: Every Tuesday (unless cancelled prior via email)
