PRESIDENTS REPORT: Shane welcomed everyone back for a new season, and especially our new member Tony Snow. It was great to see we had 41 active members last year. Although we had to reschedule 2 games last year, we enjoyed 13 games, including a super-duper Mystery Bus trip (Thanks Chrissie). Thanks to all Committee members especially Kim & Graham, as things do not run smoothly without an enthusiastic committee, and also to those who helped with our Club raffles. The Men’s team of Allan B, Nigel & Paul represented us at Whanganui, they enjoyed the experience but were not in the money. Unlike Karen, Kim & Chrissie who did come home with the cup from Whangamata (Congratulations Ladies). Next week Irianny, Jeanette & Karen are representing us at Dannevirke, where we expect them to bring back the cup. Also good luck to Bushy & Nigel who are representing us a Pairs tournament at Carterton. Congratulations to last years trophy winners, which Graham & I will hand out shortly. Great to hear Karen has put her name up to join our committee, fresh ideas are always welcomed. A big thank you to Kim for sorting out a good mix of courses for 2025. I wish everyone good golfing, a lot of laughs, and a great year.

Hello Golfers,
Lydia Ko did not win the “Hilton Grand VocationsTournament of Champions”and I did not become a prize winner at “The Tauranga Citizens Club -Golf sections opening day and AGM at Lakeview 2 Feb. But we both finished in 6th place.
The hospitality and weather at Lake View were both fist class, so that produced some good golf. Especially for the undecideds of Christie P, Gareth, Irianny & Tony Snow, (welcome Tony to our friendly group), who won the split6 teams event with 101 points.
Just sneaking into 2nd spot with 93 points were “4 Musketeers” of John, Allan B, Alister & Ian.
Taking out 3rd place just 1 point behind was the “unnames” of Bushy, Stan, Cheryl & Nigel.
Bruce H hit the most golf shots to win the Chocolate Bar. The longest putts on the 10 & 18 were taken out by John Webb & Cheryl Yip-E Collier.
This game was also the 1st qualifying game for our Match Play Champs (The best two of our first three games) and the 1st game for our Harry McLean - Gibbs Trophy (the second game is at Kawerau). The top 5 players who played to their handicapor better are Nigel, Chryl, Gareth, Tony & Irianny. The rest of us will try hard at Kawerau
