Announcing our first event of the spring, the annual Battle of the Bays.

In order to encourage participation, we are providing MDC subsidised water transport this year.

Get some of your rates back and enjoy the company of neighbours. It’s always a great day out, and the Ambrose format is a fun way for infrequent golfers to participate.

On Sunday the Golf Course was visited by 15 touring motorcyclists who were treated to morning tea provided by the Golf Club. Many thanks to Top of the South Adventure Riders for supporting our club

It may be winter,but there is still a lot happening at Nopera Bay Golf Course. On Wednesday we held a ladies “She loves golf” day. Thank you to the ladies who participated. A quick low key coaching session provided by Laurence was followed by a relaxed team Ambrose event. The day finished with afternoon tea put on by the men folk. Due to the positive feedback, we will continue to hold a similar event every month and hope to see more ladies join us.

It’s was girl’s day out at Nopera today.

Hazel Wilkes dominated the Bayleys Open tournament to become a hugely popular winner of the premier event of our clubs calendar. (Hazel’s garden must be struggling because her golf game is going from strength to strength). Her sunny disposition and willingness to get stuck in to the hard work to keep our fantastic little course in top shape are inspirational. We are really proud of her today.

Angie, Hazel, Sandra, Rose (ohmigod Rose) and Mel proved Graeme Codlin’s donated garden seat was very robust, and overall the blokes were very much put in their place by the gentler gender. It was another fabulous day in paradise with golf merely being an excuse for us to enjoy our community.

Special thanks to Dot, Kimmy and Sheryl for the most amazing dinner, and to our sponsors who make the day possible. We are grateful to you all.

Just a note to all golfers. The New Zealand Open is on in Queenstown, but that’s the second most important event this weekend.

The Bayley’s Nopera Open is also taking place, so we have to close the course to casual play for the day.

As there will be no television coverage on the day, spectators will have to attend in person.

The most under-rated golfer, treasurer, resident entomologist and one of the hardest working volunteers at Nopera Golf, Sandy Jones just became the 2025 champion nett golf winner in highly competitive field of monthly medallists.

She is a very popular victor and it’s great to see her in good form before the classic next weekend.

Well done Mrs. Jones. Please feel free to give Mr. Jones plenty of advice and reminders of your superior skills for the next 12 months.
