Everyone who played on Tuesday deserves a medal!
As I was inside the warm club rooms on Tuesday, I was able to observe the movement of the large field. I was very impressed with how everyone was moving along very efficiently. I believe most groups finished their LGU rounds in less than four hours!!! Thank you to players who kept up with the group in front of them and a big thank you to the Committee members who did such a great job with the draw!!
The qualifying round for the Carey Cup has been completed. The 16 players with the lowest nett scores have been put into the draw for Round 1 next Tuesday. The draw is done and posted on the board in The Hub. Your tee time will be emailed to you.

LETS PLAY NINE
We are about to start this LETS PLAY NINE group again.

So, we are going to try a Sunday Competition.
This coming Sunday, June 14th we have some tee times booked from 10.02am.
Any member wishing to join in for a nine hole competition at this time please report at the Pro Shop by 9.45am.
This group is open to 9 and 18 hole players, men, women and juniors, and those new to the game.
We usually put $2 in kitty and have a stableford competition with balls for prizes.
If we can get a regular group going we may be able to incorporate some varied competitions and trophies.

All matches in the second round of the Top gun competition need to be played by Saturday 11 July.
As this is a mixed event and under the new World Handicapping System mixed matches will play their matches as a Stableford compitition.
Matches that are Men vs Men or Women vs Women will continue to play these matches as a normal match play event (lowest handicap goes back to 0 and shorts sorted from there.)
For mixed matches Women vs Men: Both will play off their club handicap (no extra shots) and the winner of the hole is determined by the Stableford points scored on there respective cards. For the purposes of this competition you could win the hole with a negative Stableford point as long as yours was less then the other players negative. i.e. if you get 4 for 2 and 6 for no points you would get 7 for -1 and 8 for -2

Ladies 9 Hole Golf Updates
Finally we have been able to restart our Golf year.
About 70 women, 9 and 18 holers, played a Waltz Stableford competition on Tuesday. Everyone was enjoying themselves. It was good to see so many players upstairs enjoying lunch.
Monique, Tracey and Rebecca, were very busy in the cafe, handling so many orders well. Great work.
The 9th of June is an LGU Day. We will tee off in handicap order this time. PLEASE BOOK BY SUNDAY NIGHT THE 7TH. You will receive your tee time on Monday the 8th. Starter Marjan, please come into the Hub to enter the 3’s.
There is sign up sheet on the notice board for the Committee Cup. This played on the 16th and 23rd of June. Choose your own partner. Best ball stableford. Please put your name down on Tuesday! Ring me if you want to play and can’t make this Tuesday.
The sign up sheet for the Carey Cup will be on the noticeboard from Tuesday. This is match-play on handicap. Qualifying round is on 7 July. Round 1 is played on 14 July and round 2 on 21 July. Remainder played in your own time before 31 August 2020.
We can hand in our (best) stableford cards for the Postal Stableford competition. Please put them in the red letterbox in the Hub. You need at least 4 cards. This competition closes at the end of August. You can hand in cards from any game or any club in the District you have played at in this period.
The new Dotgolf App is very easy to use, please download and have a go. You can use it as you play to record your score and that of your Marker. You do need to check-in at Pro Shop or via the app and a card number will be allocated to you which will show up on your app. I find it easier to have a card printed and enter the score after you have played and checked with the Marker if all scores are correct. You fill in your own card, no swapping then enter the scores on your
phone. Less risk of contamination. You need to know the membership number of your Marker and note this on your card. You can, of course, still enter your card manually. Looking forward to an uninterrupted remainder of the golf season.

Bunkers: During lock down the team put over 75 trailer loads of sand into our bunkers. (I certainly tried quite a few of them last week)
Tees: New tee boxes are coming on really well 14 is already in play and is one of our best tee boxes on the course. 10, both Black and Blue tees will hopefully be live in late September early October. 6 tee box is coming on well and will hopefully be in play by the end of the year. 17, the black tee and the reshaping of the tee box is slightly ahead of the Blue and Red tees, we are hoping that both will be in play before the end of the year.
Greens: The team are working on these and have a goal of having them running at 10.5 on the Stimpmetre, with the new roller arriving later this month this should make a huge difference both in time and the quality of the course.
The Dam: The club has made a saving of over $90,000 in town water fees that we paid last year, so the project is certainly paying dividend for the club.
We are seeking a convener for the 9 hole men’s competitions, please contact the office for further details on this fantastic role.
Name the golf course in the picture and for an extra ticket in the draw name the hole:
(Hint it is one of our reciprocal clubs and a bit further away then last weeks course)
Last weeks winner and a bit about last weeks course.
Winner: ALLAN TIMMS.
Answer: Russley Golf Course, Hole number #5
Allan has won 2 free rounds at Russley Golf Golf Course next time he is in Christchurch.
The Russley Golf Club is home to one of New Zealand’s premier golf courses. The par 72 championship golf course is set in beautiful parkland, and has recently been transformed by a complete redesign of the back nine by leading architect, Greg Turner.
The club is open to locals and visitors alike, and offers five sets of tees to challenge players of all ages and abilities. It is very conveniently located close to Christchurch Airport
Airport Greens Motel “A putt away from the Green”
Centrally situated halfway between Nelson City and the Tasman district so perfectly located to explore all of what the sunshine capital has to offer. We are located right next to the Nelson Golf Club 18 hole championship links course. The course is adjacent to the picturesque waters of Tasman Bay and is popular with players all year round.
We would like to say a big thank you to Andrew Simpson who as many of you may have seen has done a great job clearing and repainting the trundler room. We could not have done this without Andrew’s efforts.
Also thanks should go to all volunteers who gave their time to help with player check-in procedures during Level 3, once again this was a big help for the club.

Ladies Golf Updates
Newsletter 19th May
I hope all of you are enjoying your golf. With weather like we have been having, what’s not to enjoy.Our Committee met Tuesday and had a good discussion about the revised programme. Next Tuesday there will not be any organized competition.
If you wish to play you need to put your name down or ring the pro shop and ask them to book you into dot golf. If you don’t do so early enough, you may not get a game. The frost policy is in place and as a result you will notice that bookings are only available off the first tee. This is to ensure that if there is a frost, the tenth tee can be used instead.
The following week, 2nd June starts our new revised golf programme with a Total Golf day. The Committee has decided that we will play a Waltz Stableford combining the 9 & 18 hole players playing 14 holes. It should be fun so make sure you put your name down for playing on 2nd June to ensure you are included in the draw.
The Club Captain, Men’s and Women’s Captains, 9 Hole Convenor, Vets Convenor, Sean, David and the new Manager, Tony met via Zoom to discuss moving forward with golf at NGC. Tony informed us that the cabinet where the handicapping information has been displayed is to be used to post the new revised programme. The newsletter will also be posted there. With the new world handicapping system in place, handicaps change daily, so there is no need to post the handicaps any longer. Euan discussed the possibility of using an online entry form for all competitions. He suggested that there could be a link put into the newsletter and people could register their intention to enter competition via the link. Sign up sheets would still be used in The Hub. Sean explained that during L2 it is not possible to do multi-tee starts. He also said at this point in time, the booking system will be for a seven day period.
Up Coming Events
2nd June : Total Golf
9th June : LGU 3, E&R 2, Grandmothers 2 & Field Salver 2, Shootout 3
11th June : Motueka District Open Day
Enjoy your golf, every time your play.

9 hole women’s newsletter 21 May 2020
Hi all
Life is still not back to normal. Unfortunately I have a few more changes to report.This might be ongoing as we travel down the Covid-19 levels (up or down).We are still not able to organise a golf morning for all women on Tuesday the 26th of May. Please book online again and play with the people in your time slot. We are planning to start our women’s golf again on 2 June. This will now be a Total Golf Day playing a Waltz competition. Please book on line by Sunday evening and the draw will be done on Monday.The previously announced Marwick Goblet has been postponed to 11 August due to the nature of the competition as you would be sharing a ball which is not allowed just yet.
There is a sign-up sheet for the Committee Cup on the notice board.This competition is planned for the 16th and 23rd of June. Choose your own partner. Best ball stableford.
The revised program should be available soon. Copies will be put on the Notice Boards around the Club and be available on line.So far we have 3 casualties: the Jill Heath Trophy, the Mabin Salver and the Sue Bunt.
The new Dotgolf App is very easy to use, please download and have a go.You can use it as you play to record your score and that of your
Marker. You do need to check-in at Pro Shop or via the app and a card number will be allocated to you which will show up on your app.
I find it easier to have a card printed and enter the score after you have played and checked with the Marker if all scores are correct.
You fill in your own card, no swapping then enter the scores on your phone. Less risk of contamination.You need to know the membership number of your Marker and note this on your card.You can, of course, still enter your card manually.
I will keep you all informed as much as I can.
Be Safe,Be Kind,Be Responsible

Happy Hour Starts Again This Friday
Thanks to everyone…
It is with much sadness that I write my last message in the weekly newsletter. Unfortunately from a family perspective COVID-19 put paid to our move to the area. We were hoping to have been fully settled in the region by now however I’m now preparing for the journey back north, and starting a new role in Auckland.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Derek, Rebecca and the Board for their support. I hope that people can understand my decision. Having spent the week working with Tony I know that the club is in good hands and there is a very capable team in place to support the club moving forwards. I would also like to thank all of the staff for their help and support through this difficult time and wish everyone at the club all the best for the future.
