23 of us teed off on a foggy morning at Waikare on the 14th. We managed not to lose anyone in the dense fog (although no mention of the number of balls MIA...)
The sun eventually brightened things up and it turned into a fantastic day as always!
Phil Webb and Gary Douglas took the day with 37pts, followed by Darryl Beazely and Scotty Crouth on 36.
Our next game will be at Huntley on the 19th July. A 09:30 tee time with the coach muster at 07:30, leaving SRFC (Shadbolt park) at 07:45.
Have a great game!

Another great game at Mangawhai! There was a good turnout to play for the 'Gin and Ice Cream' trophy, despite the weather being a bit miserable at the start, it finished strong! This year the coveted trophy was won by Kings Arms GC by 6 shots!
Some of the top scores were Kevin Baldwin an excellent round of 37, new member Derek Stevenson had a 36, Bob Cargill 33pts, these 3 led the way to the club’s victory. Full results are attached. Polly was won by Warren Fraser! Unfortunately parrots don't travel well in cars so perhaps a special mention will need to be made on the next coach trip...
Speaking of: Our next game is at Waikere Golf Club on Sunday 14th June with a 9AM tee time. The coach will be at Suburbs RFC (Shadbolt Park) at 7AM for a 7:10AM SHARP departure.
See you all there!

In case anyone didn't get the update, this Sundays (13th July 2025) game at Waiuku has been cancelled to the course being too waterlogged for carts, and more rain forecast.
