Dear members,

I'm very sad to advise the recent passing of 2 very special club members.

• John Ward passed away on Thursday 4 April after suffering a heart attack. Our deepest sympathies to the Ward family who have a very longstanding and strong connection to the Tauranga Golf Club. A true gentleman.

• Kevin Wharepouri passed away Friday 5 April. Our sincere sympathies to Kevin's whanau. Moe mai ra our Kaumatua, now at peace and no longer suffering.

Funeral & Tangi details are not known, but I understand they will be published in the local papers
