On Friday it was great to catch up with Ted Jones who was down from the North Island. Ted played a round in the company of Ken Fergus and others and looked in fine health so obviously life 'up north' is agreeing with him. Unfortunately Marie was not with him but we look forward to seeing them both later in the year. It was interesting to have Ted explain the different variations of the Maori farewell and I think we settled on until we see you next time, "Ka kite ano".
Late last year former Club Captain Richard Mercer passed on and before his memorial service at the Clubhouse a round of golf was played in his remembrance. At the conclusion of the game after some discussion between his friends it was decided it would be appropriate to have annual competition as a tribute to Richard. That competition is to be known as The Silver Fox Memorial Trophy and it is proposed that it be held on 6 September 2009. If you wish to participate please speak either to Bryan Graham or register your interest with the pro-shop.
On Friday evening the "Saturday Afternoon Ladies Who Golf" organised a wee dinner party in the Sir Bob Charles Longroom (the old 19th). This Longroom is the perfect setting for a small private function with up to approximately twenty guests as the fire and candle lighting provide for a cosy and intimate atmosphere. The meal served by Amanda with Claire's assistance was superb with a Calamari mushroom and pesto salad to start followed by a Chicken Breast stuffed with spinach and feta wrapped in bacon as the main with Chocolate Mousse for dessert and then coffee and a cheese board - all at a very reasonable price. I recommend that if you need a venue for such an occasion you need look no further.
