Dear Guest, Thursday, 17 October, 2019

Predator Free Update
The kill count for September was 2 stoats, 2 rats and 5 mice.  One of the stoats was caught in a "first-timer" - the trap assigned to Robyn Orton along the right hand side of the 5th fairway behind one of the pine trees.  Arthur Ormond snares two more mice and puts daylight between him and the next contender.
 
One trap, which hasn't yet yielded any kills, found itself visited by dead possums lying outside its narrow entrance.  Was this their last dying act trying to find shelter? Were they placed there in the forlorn hope a kill would be registered?  We may never know the answer to this baffling mystery.

Club Office Nominations
Allow images
Nominations for 2019/20 Management and Golf Committee are now open.
 
As set out in the club constitution this year there is one member elected position that retires by rotation and the club officers are elected annually.  The Management Committee may appoint one other position to complete the composition of the Management Committee and this will be determined once a skill analysis is done after the nominations close.
 
The broaden the Management Committee skills base, people with experience in some, not necessarily all the following skills, would fill the gap/strengthen the makeup of the Management Committee.
 
Sponsorship, Marketing
Sport Governance
Digital, Technology
Entrepreneurial skills
 
Nominations close 4:00pm on 31st October 2019.  All nominations for positions must meet criteria in Rule 6 of the club constitution. 

Golf Updates
Octaginarians are grinners AND winners
A big congratulations to George Mitchell (Men's Junior B Champion) and Jennifer Hartley (Women's Junior Champion) who, at the ripe age of 80ish took out their respective division in club champs!  This just proves that age is no barrier.  There will be a couple of trophies display at Mary Doyle no doubt.  Well done to you both.
 
Short Course
Just a reminder about etiquette on the short course.  If you are chipping or pitching around the course (maximum of 4 balls) PLEASE give way to players who are actually playing the course.  Many times members take their kids or grandkids out there and the last thing we want is a little trekker to cop a stray shot.  Also, it is important to remember that any under 16yo can come and play the course when accompanied by a member at no charge.  Get the little ones out for a nudge and a walk after school.
 
Driving Range
The driving range is now open later due to daylight savings.  Please do not walk down the driving range to collect balls; again, we do not want anyone to get hit.
 
Trophies
If you have a trophy in your possession from last year, could you please return it to the office so we can get it engraved for the winner this year.  It would be a great help if the trophy was clean and in a presentable state when returned. 

Subscriptions Now Due
The first installment of your membership has been issued and is due for payment on or before 31 October 2019.  Again, thanks to so many members that have paid so promptly, it is appreciated.
 
The office will be open again this coming Saturday morning for any member wishing to pay in person.
 
If you wish to arrange a payment plan via direct debit please get in touch with Fleur on admin@hastingsgolfclub.co.nz to get this setup.
 
New season membership cards can be collected from the office.
