June reports of catches are in with one significant result, we've caught our first stoat!  The lucky trap was No 31 assigned to Shaun Driscoll which is located across the fence to the right of the 5th green.  

 

Overall a total of 29 kills during June, our highest month total so far, with the overall total now at 85, which includes 56 rats.

 

A new leader tops the table this month being Arthur Ormond whose trap is located along the left side of the 1st fairway, may have something to do with the recent tree work....

With the recent creation of the NZ Golf & DotGolf mobile apps the Hastings Golf Club app is now surplus to requirements as all information can be sourced via these two.

 

The current club app will be disabled and turned off at the end of July.

 

We are currently working with DotGolf to create a notification for any course delay or closures which will be sent to those members on the start sheet of the day any issue arises.

 

In the interim, the club website is still being updated as it always has and a Message of the Day will be added to the start sheet, so please do check these two options - which can be done direct off your phone through either of the apps. 

Our corporate sponsor Trinity Hill have kindly extended the Winter Cellar Door Sale to any of our members.

Last month our GM, Michelle Campbell attended the Business Management Institute (BMI) review course and exam which was the final stage of five years of study to obtain Certified Club Manager (CCM) accreditation. 

 

The programme has been offered since 2015 by Golf Managers Association of New Zealand, partnered with Club Management Association of America (CMAA) and has seen 70 students undertake various stages of the programme.  

 

After the review course and exam,  Michelle is one of six NZ managers to have successfully graduated as a CCM.  

 

The programme has seen an improvement in the standard of club management and fostering strong networking links both nationally and internationally.   

Entries are now open for the 2019 Dementia Hawkes Bay charity tournament to be held at Hastings on Friday 13 September 2019.
