Hi Ladies

Happy New Year... even though a month has nearly gone! I hope some of you have been out there enjoying summer golf.

The final round of the Marillier Cup will be next Wednesday 30th. Waitangi Day is the following Wednesday (no comp), & Opening Day will be on 13th February (Wednesday) or Saturday 9th. For Wednesday Opening we are planning a 'mystery drawn teams competition'. Please book yourself in. You will play your own Stableford round, & we will draw cards randomly afterwards to create teams.

Also scores for the Ladder will start Opening Day – as long as you have paid your $20 entry to Viv Coughlan. You can pay next week, or if you are not going to be at golf until Opening Day, you can email Viv viv.coughlan@xtra.co.nz to let her know you will pay her before you play. 5 scores are required before names go on the Ladder. We thank Bay of Plenty Asphalt for offering to sponsor our Ladder this year.

Thankyou again to Lynette Baker & Bayleys for sponsoring out Top Cat, which will continue through 2019. The final for 2018 will be on Wednesday 20th. Winners, please advise if you are unavailable – runners-up will fill in if necessary.

Proshop haggle - the committee suggests some changes which we will be put to the vote next Wednesday. 'Increase to $5, with $3 for stableford, $1 for 2's & $1 hidden hole. Hidden hole to carry-over if won by 6 or more players'. Remember that the Haggle is optional.

Jackie Reynish & Anne Partridge are in charge of Pennants again this year. We would like to have a 'team' of interested players & people prepared to caddy, & make it more prestigious. It is an honour to represent your club, but it is also a great experience – and to have the chance to play other courses. Please let us know if you would like to be part ot this TEAM or consider positively if you are asked to join.

There will not be qualifying this year for our matchplay events – Elsie Hanna & Coates Trophies. Wednesday ladies, if interested in playing, please enter on sheets in Locker-room.

For all 18-hole players, there are also sheets up to enter Olga Johnson Pairs, Nancy McCormick (pairs) & Collins Shield (Sat v Wed to be held Saturday 9th March).

Saturday ladies will be running an Open Tournament on Sunday 3rd March. Watch out for more information.

If you want to know what is involved in any of our competitions, please refer to 'Conditions of Play' book which is in the Locker-room.

Programme booklets are available for $2. Thankyou to the sponsors shown therein.

Alison Holdem is again our 'welfare' person – please inform Alison if you know a member-in-need.

Kim Copestake will be leading us through the New Rules with quiz/explanations/advice!!!

Hope you all enjoy your golf in 2019.
