Planned Power Outage – Monday, 8 December 

Please note there will be a planned power outage this coming Monday, 8 December, from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. This outage will affect the neighbourhood surrounding the golf club. 

• Afternoon Field: Open to members only during this time. 
• Scorecards: Our office team will do their best to pre-print your scorecards before the power goes out. 
• Bar Hours: The bar will be open from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm once power is restored. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 

Health & Safety Update 

Further to last week’s newsletter, please find attached a letter from Hannah Rae Siefert, presented to Mount Maunganui Golf Club by Golf NZ legal counsel. This letter recommends steps for clubs to mitigate health and safety risks related to golf balls leaving the property.  Click here to read Hannah Rae Siefert Letter.

Course Etiquette Spotlight 

Good golf etiquette goes a long way—and these days, it extends even further with the introduction of carts, trundlers, and bikes. 

Here’s an example (Click Here) of great etiquette from a group of Omokoroa members: 
They parked their carts 5–10 meters from the edge of the green and in the right location to help speed up play and look after the course. 

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more short clips showing good etiquette around our course. Feel free to: 

• Share your standout moments. 
• Let me know who deserves a mention for always doing more by filling more than one divot, repairing their own ball marks and others, or raking bunkers. 

Let’s keep Omokoroa Golf Club a great place to play!
