Firstly, thank you to those members who attended the special general meeting on Monday. The Management Committee are pleased and relieved to have the new constitution before us as we begin planning for the new financial year. One of our first tasks will be to look at examining playing categories in terms of playing statistics commensurate with subscriptions per category. The new constitution allows us to ensure fairness for all members when calculating annual subscriptions.
Thanks also to the members who attended, along with the management committee, our two Members Engagement Sessions earlier in the month. A wide range of topics were discussed, and we were very pleased to hear how much the members appreciate this forum. The next engagement sessions will be held in November.
The Management Committee have made the decision not to host the NZPGA Championship tournament next year as an altered ProAm format notified by the Australasian PGA we felt would not suit the format our members would have expected. We are also mindful of the length of closure of the course to members during this years’ event. We are planning to host a one day, sponsored, ProAm in January which will continue our association with professional golf and give those of our members who wish to the opportunity of again playing alongside professional golfers. Golf Operations will keep members updated as planning proceeds. The Wallace Development Hastings Open will follow soon after the ProAm. Wallace Developments are indeed valued members of our club community.
A reminder: if you have a question, suggestion, comment or compliment to make on a golf related matter could you please contact by email your club captain.

Happy golfing
