Bon Voyage and top o the mornin To Hugh Clark he is off to Ireland for a month where he can watch the all blacks play Ireland from an Irish Pub! You cant beat a pint of Guinness at about 8.00am in the morning Hugh !!
Firstly congratulations to the Semi finalists of the Omokoroa Cup and the President's Cup the quarter finals were somewhat affected by the wet conditions but well done to those who have braved the elements over the past couple of weeks The Semi Finals are to be played this Saturday 2nd july Brian Gill plays Paddy Hawkins(Brothers in law family feud) and George Griffin plays Nick Gray in Omokoroa Cup (11.00am off 1) James Graham plays Pete Stallard and Colin Gauld plays Dave Hughes in President's cup (11.07 off Tee 1) we wish you well Note the ":FINALISTS" will go in to the Grand slam at the end of the year.
Weather permitting the finals will be held on Sat the 9th July
Looking ahead to the following two weeks (16th and 23rd July) will be the new format Senior Junior competition which is now simply a pairs tournament. So just pick a partner (off any handicap) for those two weeks the 16/17 handicap threshold limit does not now apply. Same competition rules will apply i.e. two weeks of combined nett scores . We encourage people to play in their pairings as this simplifies the job for the organizers so if you can book in, in your pairings that would be very much appreciated.
Looking further ahead the Omokoroa STROKE PLAY Championship starts on sat 30th July and will run for four consecutive Saturday's. This is an auto entry for all full paying members of the club (there is no entry fee) but the normal $10.00 haggle fee will be in operation for those who only want to participate in the haggle on the day. which will then be split into a blue tee haggle and a white tee haggle. The Stroke play competition is played in four divisions and is a GROSS score competition and all four rounds count. With the new handicap system changing daily you will remain in the division in which you commenced the stroke play championship no matter what your daily handicap may be!! This may however affect your ability to play in both the haggles and the stroke play so please bear with us whilst we work our way through these little dilemmas.
Senior Div up to 9.4 Blue Tees
Intermediate Div 9.5 to 15.4 Blue Tees
Junior Div 15.5 to 21.4 White Tees
C Grade 21.5 to 36.0 White Tees
Unfortunately shootout scores for this period do not count as the Senior and intermediates play off blue tees and the juniors and C grade play off white tees (Computer wont let shootout scores apply)
