 LADIES’ PENNANTS

 Monday Pennant – At Rangitikei on Monday10th in the finals, our team lost to Wanganui and were placed 8th of 12 teams. Better luck next year, ladies. Nice dinner at Hill Top Restaurant afterwards.

 MARQUIS SHIELD

Marquis Shield – Our team had a good win over Martinborough here at home Sunday 9th June and we were well placed going into the final round at Eketahuna on Sunday 23rd. Our team of Danny Pierey, Shane Robinson, Nigel Pearson, Jason Smith (seniors), Brett MacDougall, Mark Hemopo, Lionel Toheriri, Jason Kelly (intermediates) and juniors Peter Bourke, Mark Thomson, Sam Gordon and Graham Thomson halved their matches with Carterton. Unfortunately, this meant we didn’t get the point needed to win the trophy and were placed second in the Marquis for a second year in a row, one point behind the hosts. Hard luck guys.

 Handicap Pennant – Also on Sunday 9th June, at Palmerston North, in their first outing in this competition, our team lost 6-3 to Feilding. Then on Sunday 23rd June at Foxton, the team had a good win over the home side 6½ to 2½. Well done to Lee Thomson, Jared Brock, Shaun Smith, Jamie Smith, Colin Wallace and Jeremy Blatchford. This Sunday 7th, here at home our team of Lee, Jason Smith, Shaun, Jamie, Duey and Jeremy will play round 3 versus Manawatu. Good luck guys.

 HALL OF FAMER – PADRAID HARRINGTON

 I recently watched a programme on Sky when Irishman Padraig was one of the golfers to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. I was really taken by his acceptance speech. You can catch it on YouTube. His story – Love the Game.

 “I love the game of golf. I love that it was never meant to be a fair game, it was always meant to be a test of skill and mental fortitude.

I love the rules, I love the etiquette, I love the competition.

Ultimately, I love the meritocracy that you’re out there on your own, nobody else decides your fate. It’s up to you to get it done.”

 WINTER CUP

When you play your round in Winter Cup competitions, you will only be able to enter that particular round once. We have now created a competition for Sundays so you can print a card to match whatever the Winter Cup competition is. Eg today is Stableford, if you play tomorrow as well, you will be able to select “Stableford competition” from the kiosk to be in the haggle. Hope that makes sense.
