The 2020 Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3, was held at the Dannevirke Golf Club on October 17 -18. The course was in very good condition and with the exception of a brief frost delay on the Sunday morning the weatherman handed us 2 great days of golf. Just a quick reminder the Greenwood Cup is the regions premier golf trophy, play off the stick ten-man teams. Hastings are the current holders 2 years in a row.

The draw had us starting at 7am against Napier followed by hosts, Dannevirke in the afternoon. Seemed like a challenge considering we had several of our top players ruled out because unavailability or injury or moving players up the order out of more comfortable positions. The complicated team naming criteria also meant that reserves had to be substituted into the positions vacated in the case of 2 injured players. Working within the rules we eventually fielded a team in this order.

The weekend played out nicely for us starting with a win against Napier 6.5/3.5, win against Dannevirke 7/3 and a win against Karamu 8.5/1.5. We won a total of 22 games losing just 8. The players records are alongside their names. At time of writing it looks like Hastings will be tied on points but 2 games behind Hawkes Bay G.C., with the final 4 rounds scheduled to be played November 14-15 at Maraenui Golf Club.

As with previous years if you can't make it to the course to support your team, follow the results on the Hastings Facebook page.

It's great to see so many members using the Short Course area for practice.  Just a friendly reminder that there is a four ball maximum in this area and it is appreciated that divots are repaired (as well as the main course too).
