Hi Members
A fantastic turnout last Saturday for the City of Wellington Classic. Sam Marsters from Miramar took out the tournament with a round of 72.
You can see the full results on our website. The top Karori performers were Trevor Brown with 75 and Horn Dim playing off 13 with a 78!
We have all become a bit complacent over the last few weeks, can members and their guests please ensure that they book tee times on every day of the week and use the Covid Scanner to sign in.
Our next big event is the Eagles Hallberg Day on 21st November, the entry sheet is on the board, this is a great day raising funds for the Hallberg Trust.
NOTICE THE TROPHY CABINET - SEE IT SPARKLE!
Huge thanks to Elizabeth, Rose and SinYee who despite challenging circumstances (avoiding a fallen tree on Makara Hill) managed to make the trophy cabinet sparkle with our silverware. Now, all we need is fine weather for our closing days.

COVID PRECAUTIONS
Please keep up the handwashing, the checking in, and all of the other usual precautions around this. The authorities fear people are getting lax, and the events of this week have shown it can resurface very quickly.
KARORI CUP
Club Day on a Sunday has shown an increase in participation which is a positive spin, it’s so much fun out there, then reading the results later.
The Karori Cup is a year-long event based on Stableford Competition on Sundays. All you need to do to enter is hit "YES" for Club Day.
At the end of November we will be calculating the best 10 stableford rounds from each player to find out the 2020 Karori Cup winner. There is definitely still plenty of time to get those good score cards coming in!
