Golf-Clb-news-photoThe wet weather has been a godsend even though there has been a lapse in actually playing the game. The greens have benefited the most by far and the recovery process is ahead of schedule. The bonus too that no one has had to lose sleep over the water allocation consent.
There is a bit of activity going on behind the 1st Tee to the side of the practise nets. A practise green is taking shape complete with a green side bunker. 
We are blessed with a number of members who are keen to roll up their sleeves and do stuff around the course; most do not have the slightest bit of interest in being on a committee. We very much value and appreciate all you do for the Club. … Continue Reading

Great-win-forMartinborough Wairarapa 1st Prize goes south

Martinborough Tennis Club lifted the coveted Gawith Shield last week at the Masterton Tennis Centre, beating Carterton 4 matches to 2 in the finals of the summer competition.          
In spite of the best the renowned Spooner brothers could muster, the team from the south took the honours, with Carla Didsbury and Marco de Groot putting icing on the cake in the mixed doubles.   Carla, indeed, was Martinborough’s “secret weapon”, having won her singles earlier, in what turned out to be the only 3-setter of the day.   The other Martinborough team member, Chris Wilkie, played with his usual skill and vigour but narrowly lost his singles to Matt Spooner, 5-7 ,5-7 and put up a good fight with Matt Nicholson in the doubles, losing 4-6, 2-6. Carla has been the mainstay of this team – other members that have contributed to the success of this team have been Dan Nicholson, Duncan Didsbury and Campbell Venning. … Continue Reading
