What's Happening Week of 7 June..........

A combination of bad weather, a short week, family issues and an increasing (but interesting) workload sees a delay in the publication of this edition.

As the week draws to a close we look forward to a break in the weather to allow the course to dry and golf to be played on Saturday and Sunday. Following the deluge on Monday both afternoon and night as a preventative measure the course was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday to protect the playing surface prior to us entering the more traditional wet (??) season. I understand a number of our Wednesday regulars ventured out to Coringa or Pegasus and while we apologise for the inconvenience we thank you for your understanding and consideration.

This Saturday is designated as the Eagles fund raising for Junior Golf and Ken Fergus will be selling raffle tickets on the first tee so please remember to bring plenty of loose change. Match of the day is again Stableford 3 grades and another qualifying round for the Shirley Links Shootout (check out the leading scores on the Club website) we are already up to round 6.

This weekend sees the last opportunity to play Page Trophy second round matches and the final date for the Denniston Cup first round. You may have noted we have now added the Top Dog draw to the website so check out who is still in the competition as we enter the round of 16.

Next week I journey to the West Coast for four days so with an ounce of luck publication will occur in a more timely fashion and undoubtedly there will be reports on coffee and possibly a course in the coming reports. Please note the Mid Winter International is on the horizon so Kiwi teams to Bryan Graham and Internationals to Dave Robinson for Sunday 27 June 2010.

In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before.
