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.
