Well done Hammer and well deserved and just to let everyone know there will be a fundraising event on Friday 9th October for Hammer at the Halswell Bowling club details to come but will be great night so keep it free.

Congratulations Hamish Kelleher and Aiden Takarua, Kim Hemingway and Lisa White who will represent New Zealand at the annual Hong Kong Classic in November.

Over the weekend at the NZ champ of Champion pairs in Hastings Hamish Kelleher and Rodney Greaney did the club so proud making the final and unfortunately losing by a agonizing 1 shot.

Coming up Hamish,Zinny and Zoomee go up to Auckland for the NZ Triples finals best of luck guys.

On last Saturday's monthly Triples Tournament we had a full field played in the strongest NW wind encountered (from the writer's memory anyway). A real test for all teams. The tournament was sponsored by The Reel Mower and we thank them very much for their sponsorship.

After a tough day on the green for all teams but winners were found.

Winners: Arch Zaloum, Russel Wilson & Jill Sanders
2nd Place: Warren Chapman, Jill Spicer & Robbie Austin
3rd Place: Rex Carpinter, Gary Lockhart & Tim Jordan

On Wednesday 17th June 2026 the Bell Lamb Trotter Trophy was decided after a marathon 5 Wednesday playing days re the club's regular winter tournament day which runs from May to the end of August. Thank you Bell Lam Trotter for your sponsorship. The eventual winners were the Andrew Bramham's four comprising of Andrew, Len Jesson, Mary Stephenson and Warren Chapman. Well done team.
